Kim- I'm glad you posted that.. because I agree. It is such a complicated issue, and of course abortion is sad and it can suck- but life can be sad and it can suck so I guess that's how it is. I feel like such a hypocrite when I blame the girls who get pregnant for not being safe or whatever. Because I know if I was to get pregnant right now, I wouldn't want to go through with it. I guess it would depend on the father and the reactions from both sides of our parents. If they were willing to help raise the kid and support him or her financially for a while, then maybe I could keep it. Or maybe I would put it up for adoption. But then you think of all those kids who spend so much of their childhoods in foster care and end up bitter, you don't want to create that. Maybe it would be the best choice to get rid of it before it is born so you save yourself, your child, family, guy who got you pregnant, and everyone else from a lot of hardships in trying to care for another baby.
I think what I'm realizing is that everyone should have the option. No one can say what is right for all others.
