In response to the individual who argued that religion plays no official role in this debate on the account of the first amendment, I'm going to have to correct you. The first amendment only concerns that which the congress passes into law. "Congress shall pass no law preventing, or respecting an establishment of religion, or the free exercise thereof..." sound familiar? It is important to note that it declares that CONGRESS shall pass no law etc. etc. It holds no power over the state legislatures. What the Constitution does do instead is grant the powers not given to the federal government over to the states. The first amendment was written simply to ensure that no national religion was set (as at that point in American history the states were greatly divided in their religious beliefs). It was left to allow the states to set their own religions according to their traditional beliefs (in fact, several original state constitutions included a requirement that stated that you had to be a Protestant to hold public office). Religions (of all kinds) have played a vital role in the development of this nation, and to simply disregard them as irrelevant because they do not conform to your bigoted opinions, portrays around you, a great aura of ignorance.
...and to the individual who decided that it would be appropriate to write in all caps,
I would have to say simply that if irresponsible women, who wish to be absolved of all responsibility for the living being within them (that they asked for by willingly engaging in sexual activities before they were "ready") get to dictate which children live and die in our modern age of so called "equality," then it is also the God-given right of men and those who are Pro-Life to stand up to the bullies who wish to murder the unborn.
And finally, to all of you who believe that abortions can be justified through the excuse that a woman simply cannot take care of a child whilst at a certain age, I would simply have to remind you that in this day and age, there are little things called "consequences." Now, to best explain this concept, one must understand that consequences are what happen after you make a decision about something. They are a perfectly natural product of decision making, but here's the catch; you have to LIVE WITH THE CONSEQUENCES OF YOUR DECISIONS! If you were the one who sat through your daily sex ed class in high school Health Education for a whole semester, and did not even listen to a single word the instructor said about safe sex, and you get pregnant when you're "not ready," tough beans. Not only will you find yourself in a forever life-changing situation, but you will have essentially told the world that your school county just blew millions of dollars out of their butt trying to educate you on sex so that you would be ready when you wanted to have sex for what it was intended for (to make children). Good luck running that one by a responsible taxpayer.

There you will find the love of Jesus. Ask him into your heart. Tell him you want peace of mind. May I suggest a New Living Bible. There are several different types of translations of the Bible, but the New Living Bible is written in everyday language and is very readable. It sounds like you are a very busy person but if you are able to read even a little each day it would be very helpful to you. I am sorry that you have had to go through this ordeal. I hear the love you had for your child in your comments. Rest assured he is Heaven right now. Wouldn't you love to get to know him? You can if you ask Jesus into your life. You will be with you child forever in Heaven.
I'm sorry there's nothing evil about abortion unless you do it after 3 months. You aren't affected by someone else choosing to abort THEIR child. It's that persons body and not yours. Keep your comments to yourself. If she decides to abort, give up for adoption or keep it is none of your business. Accidents happen and yes kids should be more careful now a days cause they think they can't get pregnant but it doesn't give you the right to preach. So I suggest going to hell? :D Have a nice day.
You've lost your mind. Nothing upsets me more then people preaching about god... honestly why does religion always have to step in and be the reason to all. I'm sorry believe what you want but SCIENCE and actual FACTS have proven that religion or at least the bible is a bunch of hooha! Yes the bible has great morals and guidelines in life people should follow but there's no need to shuv it down anyones throat!
I'm sorry but seriously... Eve created out of Adams rib? LETS GET REAL!
to the person who last replyed, there is no need to be rude that is her belief and honestly i agree with her God gave us free will therefore allowing us to make our own choices including whether or not to have an abortion. Just because you disagree with free will does not mean you have to be a heartless witch to strangers
and to the original post, in the end its really your choice, do you think you could handle having an abortion, you'll always wonder what if... i am personally pro choice and if you coose to keep the baby there are options like giving it up for adoption or asking your parents to help you. dont let your boyfriend make you do something you dont want' just think everything through before you make a choice. wishing you the best

Hello. I'm 18 year old female and I have some questions about my options right now.
Recently, a terrible thing has happened to me- I got pregnant! Could you believe it- first sexual experience in my life and such thing happened to me.
I started to be suspicious when I have started to feel sickness in the morning and didn’t get my period when I should. I bought some home pregnancy tests and they came out positive. My parents don’t know anything about it! Like you see, I'm very young and my boyfriend has recommended me to get an abortion. I'm not sure what to do!
I have heard some things about some organization called Pro Life and theirs arguments against abortion. Any extra info about it?
