Response to Kimberly
I'll start off with a question. Whether they're young or old, when a person has sex, are they at the same time accepting full responsibility of the possible consequences of their actions? I'm sure that as seniors in high school, many of us have all ready had sexual experiences, or have at least thought about it. So I ask YOU, are you ready to raise a child? I know that's not the first thing most couples think about as they're undressing. Anyway, Kimberly, I could not have said it better. First and foremost, I am PRO-CHOICE becasue I do not believe that one person has the right to take away someone else' s right. I'm not saying that if put in that situation I would have an abortion, but I do know that if I wasn't ready to raise a child on my own, I would not bring them into this world to suffer. Everyone on here has said, so you get pregnant, have the baby, you learn your lesson. I believe that having to live with that pain everyday knowing you killed your own child would be enough of a lesson, rather than bringing another person into the punishment. Accidents happen, pregnancies can also happen, whether you're a churchgoing Bible-hugger, or a hooker on the corner. Everyone messes up sometimes, and needs a way out. When a teenager or anyone makes the decision to become sexually active, there are many different issues brought into consideration, depending on the person. So do you believe that it's RIGHT for a young scared person to bring another child into this world? Yes, there are different options, but how many of those will give your baby the life he/she deserves? Sabrina and I also have the same views, if you put your child up for adoption, there's a greater possibility that you're giving them up to a life of violence and delinquency. Or is it RIGHT to spare your innocent child the pain of growing up, knowing his/her parents didnt love them enough to keep them, spare them of the violence and lonliness, and just get an abortion? I believe that it's more selfish for a person to keep a baby they cannot take care of, then to terminate the baby and spare them the harsh realities of life. Everyone's situation is different, some children of teen parents end up with a great life. THEY GET LUCKY. But the truth is, the majority dont end up that way.
