It definitely makes sense, particularly to the main group that has abortions, teens. Personally I could never have an abortion (I’m cureently 15 and pregnant) and I would hope no girls would, EXCEPT for those in extreme situations (rape victims etc.).Though it would be nice if we could expect a rationale in which the child lives from all pregnant teens, it’s just not going to happen. It is terrifying to become pregnant at a young age, you are filled with questions and everyone ignores you, or talks behind your back, you have soooo much on your plate that a quick way out is accepted greatfully, and abortion is this quick way out for many girls, as they don’t realize they might regret it later 😦 What is easy is not often right, but young scared girls don’t always see this until it’s too late. I also think no belief can be totally unanimous there is always a situation you may not have considered that might change your opinion slightly. I think it’s sad that children die this way, but NO ONE can totally understand a girl or woman’s reasoning on abortion, and what they were going through at that time, I think we must eventually choose to accept people despite their possibly questionable choices and help all those we can 🙂

Thank you for posting your insightful perspective, indeed it is difficult for many to know how a young pregnant teen would feel. However, I would say this. First and formost, the debate is more so about whether or not Abortion should be legal at all, rather than about whether or not people who get them are fundamentally bad people (I would argue not, in fact I’ve learned much from a few people who have gotten them and discussed it on CAF).

The thing is, abortion is so henious it cannot be allowed ever, under any condition (even rape and incest) as it is never the fault of the child. It may be difficult to understand, and perhaps even seem cold that people would be so aboslute in their belief on this issue. But as you your self said, and profess to believe it is in fact, a child that is being destroyed each and every time, even in the case of rape and incest.

What we do need however, is far more cirsis pregnancy support, and resources for young women (and men, when they do the right thing and decide to help as much as possible). These need to be widly and easily available. And, while I think this has changed (in a not great way) we do need to be more open and loving towards those who find them selves in this situation, while still promoting and professing chastity.

Thank you again for your posting, I think it is good that we have this kind of insight into the world of a young mother. May God bless you, and your little one. Incidently, how are you for pregnancy resources? Are you and your parents in a good position to bring this child into the world and care for it? There are resources out there!
 
As far as funds go I am perfectlyfine and my parents will help out without causing themselves any trouble. Support, well, I know my parents are trying to understnad me, which I’m greatful for but at the same time, since I got pregnant they haven’t really looked at me the same way, and they tend to avoid me much more. I get why, their “perfect little girl” is growing up much quicker than they expected and they are scared. I never expected them to totally understand, but it still hurts to know that they are embarassed by me 😦

Well I am the parent of a little girl who is now currently 4.5 months old. While I can’t relate to the fullness of your parents experience (yet), perhaps I can help you with another perspective.

Perhaps it’s not memerly a “growing up faster than they expected”, trust me when I tell you that is just an axiom. For instance, even as a baby my child was born at 3 lbs 2oz at 32wks, and all she really could do was sleep, eat, poo. Now she’s between 10 & 11 lbs (we’ll find out for sure today), is making all sorts of baby talks and is discovering how to play with things. All in just 4 months, even that blows your mind (you’ll soon see!).

But there’s another aspect here, it’s that as a parent you have an order or priorities… For my wife and I, it will be to teach love of God first, generally speaking for most parents it can also include (and does for my wfie and I as well) that they have a chance to grow up “normally”, that while they challenge them selves, they don’t push beyond reasnoble boundries. That they go to college, then find a spouse and have children.

What you have mistakenly done, is reorder that in a not so ideal way. This doesn’t make you a bad person, and I would seriously seriously doubt that your parents think of you (truely) any less than they did before. But none-the-less, I have no doubt they wonder if they could have done something to keep you from becoming pregnant so young, if there is anything at all they could have done. Again, your not a bad person to be in the situation you are in by any means, but getting pregant at your age isn’t a small issue. There are a number of challenges you will now be presented with, that others (such as my self) won’t be presented with because we didn’t have a child so young.

I’m glad your parenst can help you and that you guys are in a good position. Seek their help, and do the best you can for your child whether you choose to keep it or put it up for adoption or whatever. Also know you can use this forum for added perspective. I pray all goes well for you, and that some day your religion reads “faithful, enthusiastic, Catholic”.
 
The “Catholic Relgion” does** Not **believe in aboration.

Like any church out there, there are some Catholic People who don’t pratcie all their Relgion. Yet they claim to be “Catholic”. True there are some who say they don’t beleive in aboration, they wouldn’t do it, but won’t stop anyone who wants to make that choice. They are wrong for saying this. Gods word is above any Government Laws.

I will obey the laws of the land I live in, As long as it doesn’t go against Gods Laws First. Gods Laws are first and foremost.

Again, I say, "The Catholic Religion" doesn’t believe in aboration. I can’t speak for the people you’ve talked to…they are their own person. I however as a Catholic Don’t believe in Aboration, don’t support Aboration, I agree with the Catholic Church it’s a sin. My heart and prayers go out to the many babies who have been aborated.

When you think of the number of abortions completed yearly its truly an abomination.

And about 50 million abortions in America since 1973…

For a Catholic to say they believe in abortion is chilling - so she wouldn’t push her own baby in front of a Mack truck, but she believes it’s OK for other mothers to do so. It’s not even the right analogy since you probably wouldn’t know what hit you with a truck, as opposed to any one of the ways a baby is killed during a 1st, 2nd, or 3rd trimester abortion.

Catholics simply have to try do better than this and take our lumps for it.
 
In many states it’s illegal to have an abortion in the third trimester, just so you know 🙂
