Getting an Abortion as a Young Teenager

Four readers remembered their experiences facing unwanted pregnancy at an early age. Our first readers are younger and desperate than most readers.
When I was fifteen, I lived in the city of Northern California. My 39-year-old boyfriend is pregnant. He said he was infertile, so he does not believe this is him, he blames me. I can not bring up a child. I live on the street, have no income, use drugs, and take no responsibility at all.
I went to "planned parent-child relationship" that taught me my choice, such as adoption, child rearing, abortion. I can not keep my children, I will never give up my children, and I will be brought up by other people.
The program is too fast. Sitting outside the cold bus stop, I felt sick and crying. I am very badly guilty so I will make myself pregnant. I respect all lives. Even though I respect the life of insects, this is very difficult for me.
I am in my 50's. Please do not repent. This is the right choice, I am delighted to have a choice. I now realized that I was being manipulated by pedophiles, but fortunately I was not forced to give birth to his child.
I stumbled upon your eye-catching series about how readers see abortion and why they do it, which brings some emotions that have been buried for a long time. My story looks a lot like, but it is not very similar at the same time.
When I was fourteen, my mother was a drug addiction, and my two brothers and sisters were able to stay alone in the house for several days to several weeks. I do not think that among our family, there are too many people who know the frequency with which we are single.
As our sexual society has changed a lot, many young people and unmarried mothers are doing abortion as a different way. When I grew up from a teenager to a young adult, I met a number of pregnant young women who do not know whether they are abortions or children. Many of them are young and do not have spiritual, emotional or economic stability in carrying this responsibility. I decided to discuss abortion as I think that many young women do not know too much about this problem. First of all, what is abortion? Abortion is a surgical or medical procedure that ends a pregnancy by removing the fetus and placenta from the uterus. (Health Scouts) Many people think that this procedure is immoral and hurt the entire human race. On the other hand, others believe that it protects women's rights and prohibits abortion from being discriminatory.
Abortion is part of our culture, no one is an exception. In our society, "Most abortion women are young, 20% younger than 19 years old, mostly under 25 years old" (Crook 349). In our culture, young people and young adults are very pregnant, especially because they are sexually active. Young women are more likely to be aborted due to age. They may not be preparing to raise children economically or mentally. In addition to the young White's unmarried women who are receiving the most abortion, "About 20% of abortion is for married women" (Crook 349). This shows that the abortion stereotypes of pregnant youth alone are not true. Because a married woman already has several children and can not buy another child, or because it is a coincidence, it may abort. Furthermore, "Catholic women are abortion as much as other women, and about 18% of abortion comes from Evangelical Christians" (fraudster)
In the discussion about our abortion, the group of women does not look fundamentally: mother. One hypothesis is that abortion services are mainly used by adolescent girls and young women without children. However, mothers are actually the majority of patients. Many of these women know the meaning of becoming a parent. They stayed together all night and brought together baby racks, planned birthday parties, holiday parties, and work and parenting. When they are pregnant unexpectedly, they think about what other children mean to their family. The reason for the termination of their pregnancy is complicated from
