What would I do? Have an abortion...no doubt!

Wow, you were using the pull out method? That has to be one of the worst birth control methods out there. I'm glad everything worked out ok for you though <img src="/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />
Just a question, but have you talked to your doctor about IUD's without hormones? I'm currently on BC, but I've heard great things about IUD's and want to switch.
Just a thought, maybe bring it up at your doctors office next time, It sure would beat condoms lol.

I'm all Essure'd up, so no pregnancy happening here, though there is a minute chance of an ectopic pregnancy, which wouldn't be viable anyway.

I'm not sure. I am VERY much pro-choice and believe that any woman of any age should be able to get an abortion no questions asked, so you would think it should be an easy decision, but I would have to think about it. If I were still in high school or college I would be 100% sure to have an abortion, but now that I am older and technically responsible enough to raise a child it would be more difficult to decide.

As far as the Roe v. Wade thing goes, it is scary to see the direction that things are heading. Most likely the worst that could happen is that abortion would become illegal in a few of the red states but would stay legal in the blue (which is luckily where I am). It would still be bad though, especially for those who are too poor to afford the necessary transportation out of state for the procedure.

I couldnt get a abortion. I couldnt deal with the fact that I had a life inside of me and killed it. I think if I became pregnant then my body isnt my own anymore. I would probably put it up for adoption and make sure that it has a good family to go to so it can live.

I cant even stand watching a dog get hit by a car so I know that a abortion would eat me up inside.

Had a pregnancy scare a couple of months ago that got me really thinking about this exact issue. Long story short, my conclusion is that I would keep it, but would most likely lose everything else. May lose career (not job though), husband, and general freedom (would probably have to move back in with parents). Abortion's not bad, but it's definitely not for me. I now know that about myself.

Long story? Thought I could be OK saying "no kids ever" like my husband, but then with the possibility of it happening, got mixed emotions. Thought about abortion, and though I don't want to judge anyone who has one, I don't think it's right for me. I would regret it forever. Sadly, got no real indication from hubby as to whether or not he would roll with the punches should I have a baby by accident. Honestly, it terrifies me to this day. No answer at all. But now I'm facing the possibility that my near oops was actually a sign of infirtility. I feel a mix of relief and depression. Relief that the decision is being made for me. Depressed that the choice to say yes could be gone.

I found out I was prego when i was 20. I was none the less scared as heck. I walked out of the doctors office to my bf outside and started to cry. Our financial stability was not too good but I dont believe in abortion unless its physically necessary. As in if you had it you may die. None the less I had a beautifull baby boy who I called kayden phoenix. I had so many emotions going through my head worries of not being able to take care of him and what to do whith him. I was able to have a lady come to my house who taught me everythign I would need to know, most of what was common sence ne ways. I think if you are thinking abortion think of a diffrent approach and find a adopting family who cant have kids, I think it would make me ne ways feel really good that I helped out someone else and made their life a whole.

As much as I believe in adoption, there IS the problem that unless your baby is white and perfectly healthy, it's going to be hard to find someone to adopt it...

I would give it up for adoption, I cant have a abortion either. I figure it was my mistake and once that baby is in me it really isnt my choice anymore. I couldnt kill something who was innocent. but I def would adopt it out.

But like Katja said I dont agree with the "white" part because I see many mom's with different race's of kids they adopted. But if the kid had down syndrome or something then it would be hard to adopt out.
