I understand you're in a dilemma, but leaving your parents out of the loop won't help you in any way. If they love you, and I'm sure they do, they will be there for you. I will ask you to do one thing for yourself. You know that abortion will take the baby "away", but do you know what it entails in the process? I urge you to watch this video: http://www.silentscream.org/silent_e.htm
to see how it is done so that should you decide to go through with it, you will be informed and prepared. Hopefully, it will help you to see exactly what you're doing. Adoption is a great option, there are millions of women that cannot have children of their own, imagine the gift that you could give to one of them! All the best, tell your parents, and take care.

There are also thousands and thousands of children who are ready to be adopted that some couples who are not able to concive do not want. They are either too old, have mental disabilities or physical disablities, a different race...the list can go on. Do not try and scare a child out of having an abortion. This is a pro-choice country we live in and you should not try have her watch some video of an abortion called silent scream. I had an abortion when I was the age of 16, and it was urged upon by my parents, and they were right in doing so. A teen is not able to financially raise a child along with everything else that goes along with it....and I do not think that overpopulating this world is the best idea either. Like I said earlier, these teens have no obligation to have their children to suffice the needs of women who cannot have children. Children having children should not be encouraged.

Children shouldn't be having unprotected or irresponsible sex either, but they do. They usually know the potential outcome of their actions, and choose to follow through with them anyways. Most people, you're right, don't adopt the older children or ones with disabilities. But her child wouldn't be old at birth and most likely would not have disabilities. Babies are usually adopted quickly. Read my original post carefully, I told her that should she decide to go through with it (not telling her NOT to) that she should be informed & prepared. A baby's heart starts beating at 6 weeks, which is also when brain function begins. I personally believe that an abortion is murder. That child has done nothing wrong. But I was not forcing that opinion on her with that post, was I? I gave her info regarding both of her options.

Each person is different in their needs. Some women are glad they got an abortion, others feel guilty for years afterward. Some feel it is wrong, and some feel it is the only option they have. Regardless of how YOU feel, it is ultimately up to each individual. However, I will agree that both "sides of the story" should be presented before making that decision. Stay in your corners and let Susan make up her own mind.
