There are heavy feelz on this topic.  Many people believe that if the seed was fertilized, it was meant to be and a baby should be born as a result.  Many people believe that accidents or tragedy happens and it shouldn’t be a consequence the rest of your life.  Bringing a soul into this world is a huge responsibility.  Its almost as if your soul splits in half and then part of it is living outside of you.  Will it be stressful? Will it be a positive life change? Will I be able to afford it?  Will I have a happy family or be alone raising this baby?  Will I be a good enough role model? Will it be a reminder of something terrible for the rest of my life?  Will I survive being a parent now that the stick reads positive?  Whether it is your first or fifth child, the heavy responsibility remains.

Pro-Life:

The idea of aborting a baby is unfathomable to most people.  “If your responsible enough to have sex, your responsible enough to deal with the consequences”,  they say.  Regardless of whether your on drugs, been raped, under-age, just plain irresponsible, working on bettering your life or career, etc; once the mistake is made it cannot be undone.  There are other options if you certainly don’t want to care for a child that your bringing into this world..  You could always put the baby up for adoption! Once that blob of cells produces a positive pee stick, that is a life to be protected! God wouldn’t have given this gift to you of you weren’t deserving of it and now your life is going to be for this new baby. Every child is a blessing with potential to change someone’s life for the better.  Its always a good idea just to have the child because its life has already began with its heartbeat. Afterall, it can hear your voice and recognize what mom sounds like so it already loves you! Full speed ahead mama, you got a baby on the way.

Pro-Choice

Having a child is not something to enter into lightly. If your having irresponsible sex, odds are that having this baby would be another irresponsible choice for you at the time.  If a woman is raped and becomes pregnant, there is no reason that she should be forced to look at a small half version of that monster forever or even go through the body changes of pregnancy,  labor and delivery..  Seems like a no brainer.  Children are expensive,  trying to survive in this world with a child or extra unplanned children could cripple someone mentally, physically and financially.  Hey, at least you have father government to help pay your child support though! Boy what a way to live. If someone can simply ask God for forgiveness for much more evils in this world, why would he deny you forgiveness over this?  He didn’t give you this gift, your drunk dumb ass spread your legs for that fuck boy again and it was just that day of the month.. Which comes every month. A Crack baby born to a junky mother that may end up just like her is NOT a better alternative than clearing the cells before it becomes a life long issue for generations.  But regardless of why it isn’t the right time to bring a life into your world, it should always be a choice.

Life is hard. Our parents didn’t have to face many of the challenges that this generation of mothers has to. The feeling of knowing there is a life in your belly is sincerely like no other. It easily clouds peoples responsible mindframe because it is a big deal. Having a child to love and love you back is amazing. There is nothing like it. When it happens at the wrong time however, it could cause various harm to both mother and child throughout the course of time. Expecting an average woman to go through pregnancy just to give the baby up is asking alot of her, but it sure is an option for those that don’t feel right about abortion. There should be no judgment on a woman who decides the timing is off and she isn’t ready to commit herself to motherhood.

No matter how you feel about it, another person’s pregnancy is not your business. Regardless of how she chooses to “take care” of this embryo, it is up to her and the father to decide. So let them figure out how their life path will go and wish them well either way.
