that old dog 'abortion'

[cigarbabe]

Again thingy I ask you, if your 12 yr old or younger daughter was pregnant, would you force that child to go through
with carrying a baby to term? Personally I could and would not.
It's absurd to think a child at any age is ready to undertake the responsibilities of motherhood not to mention how will she and her boyfriend support this baby.
We live in a world now where "babies" having children is fairly commonplace.
It is encumbent upon the parents if suspecting your child is engaging in play with boys, to put her on birth control
and that cannot be an easy decision for any parent to make but the alternatives are so life altering
that few can recoup what has been lost or come back from that brink.
I don't care at what point an individual considers a fetus "alive" that had no bearing on the decision I had to make once.
I could not and did not want to raise a child alone nor did I want to have a child, who may have been damaged my intake of booze and chemicals.
For me it was the only choice and the right one.
I do agree that abortion should not be used for birth control though.
When I was at the hospital waiting my turn there a girl there with her mother and the doctors told her
"your daughter should be put on birth control, this is her fourth abortion and it is is unacceptable to use this service as
a way to keep her from getting pregnant again"
I asked her how old she was.
She was only 14.
