I can't imagine too many chances of a happy ending for a kid having a kid so young. Very glad abortion is a legal option.

Without the experience myself, I would be nervous about being enough of the support she needs. Ultimately, her choice and I will be there for her every moment.

I would support her no matter what and would make it perfectly clear she understands what that means and that she's aware of her options. birdofafeather on "How would you feel if your child had an abortion?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-would-you-feel-if-your-child-had-an-abortion#post-1496535 Sun, 16 Mar 2014 02:23:08 +0000 birdofafeather 1496535@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I would be devestated.

I can't imagine my little girl having to be in such a tough and sad situation. littlebug on "How would you feel if your child had an abortion?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-would-you-feel-if-your-child-had-an-abortion#post-1496421 Sat, 15 Mar 2014 21:29:29 +0000 littlebug 1496421@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @hotchildinthecity: Yes, exactly. Abstinence is simply not a reality for most teens these days, so we will support/encourage birth control from a very young age. Since we have a son, I would STRONGLY encourage him to support her decision, whether or not he agrees with it fully. I plan to raise him to respect women, which includes respecting their right to choose. Not his body, not his decision. daniellemybelle on "How would you feel if your child had an abortion?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-would-you-feel-if-your-child-had-an-abortion#post-1496363 Sat, 15 Mar 2014 20:25:33 +0000 daniellemybelle 1496363@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @Cherrybee: Well said. I would be heartbroken, and I would be more than willing to help her keep the baby, but I would be supportive & probably relieved as well if she chose not to. I am pro-choice but after experiencing the miracle of life, I know it would devestate me & haunt me for a long time so I really hope this never happens. I hope LO chooses to wait until she's an adult for sex but we will also educate her about birth control & make sure she knows we will help her if she needs it. avivoca on "How would you feel if your child had an abortion?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-would-you-feel-if-your-child-had-an-abortion#post-1496349 Sat, 15 Mar 2014 20:15:47 +0000 avivoca 1496349@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I would prefer that she didn't, but I would support her no matter what. blackbird on "How would you feel if your child had an abortion?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-would-you-feel-if-your-child-had-an-abortion#post-1496342 Sat, 15 Mar 2014 20:10:16 +0000 blackbird 1496342@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @cherrybee, @yoursilverlining, @hotchild, yes yes yes. I would be relieved. The life of a teen mom is typically riddled with trouble. I don't want to have to raise my grandchildren, too, because she didn't protect herself. Pregnancy prevention is too easy for the vast majority of women and I imagine the choices in 15 years will be plentiful hotchildinthecity on "How would you feel if your child had an abortion?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-would-you-feel-if-your-child-had-an-abortion#post-1496339 Sat, 15 Mar 2014 20:03:19 +0000 hotchildinthecity 1496339@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I am extremely pro choice and it is 100 percent my child's decision. However I will be preaching birth control instead of abstinence so hopefully it wouldn't come to that googly-eyes on "How would you feel if your child had an abortion?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-would-you-feel-if-your-child-had-an-abortion#post-1496190 Sat, 15 Mar 2014 17:05:02 +0000 googly-eyes 1496190@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I would feel conflicted, as I imagine my child would feel. I would support and love her no matter her decision, but I would be disappointed that she was in that situation, and I would second guess whether I was doing things right as her parent. I don't think it is the parents' fault, but just being honest, I'm sure I would feel guilty too. Boogs on "How would you feel if your child had an abortion?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-would-you-feel-if-your-child-had-an-abortion#post-1496189 Sat, 15 Mar 2014 16:58:51 +0000 Boogs 1496189@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I would feel sad and honestly upset that my child got themselves into the situation to begin with and I would probably look at myself where I could parent better. I know kids think they are invincible, but I just hope they wouldn't be afraid to ask for help when it comes to birth control methods. As far as the decision they made with a pregnancy, I would try to be the kind of support they needed. mrs. bird on "How would you feel if your child had an abortion?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-would-you-feel-if-your-child-had-an-abortion#post-1496177 Sat, 15 Mar 2014 16:21:51 +0000 mrs. bird 1496177@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @Silva: exactly how I would feel snowjewelz on "How would you feel if your child had an abortion?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-would-you-feel-if-your-child-had-an-abortion#post-1496167 Sat, 15 Mar 2014 16:06:08 +0000 snowjewelz 1496167@https://boards.hellobee.com/ It would be their decision... I would make sure she knows all the facts/options and that we love her no matter what. However, given our faith in God and hoping that our children will also find their faith in God, I have no problem saying that I would 110% want them to keep the baby. sera_87 on "How would you feel if your child had an abortion?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-would-you-feel-if-your-child-had-an-abortion#post-1496145 Sat, 15 Mar 2014 15:34:47 +0000 sera_87 1496145@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Not my body, not my life, not my decision. I would love them and support them - nothing changes. cyndistar3 on "How would you feel if your child had an abortion?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-would-you-feel-if-your-child-had-an-abortion#post-1496124 Sat, 15 Mar 2014 15:05:52 +0000 cyndistar3 1496124@https://boards.hellobee.com/ My heart would be devastated but I would always love them. I guess I would hope that before they got to that point they would see my situation and see that there is hope and especially with a good support system it wouldn't be the end of the world.

How sad it is that a young person has to even make such a choice goes without saying. I would probably feel that she was doing the best thing for herself and the child and i'd support her in the emotional turmoil that she may endure after. Mae on "How would you feel if your child had an abortion?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-would-you-feel-if-your-child-had-an-abortion#post-1496057 Sat, 15 Mar 2014 13:57:05 +0000 Mae 1496057@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I'm very pro choice so ultimately it would be her decision. But I'd let her know that the other options are valid and we'd support her if she wanted to keep the baby or give it up for adoption. Especially because my mom got pregnant with my brother at 17 when she was a junior in high school. My grandma pushed my mom to get an abortion and she refused, and her life was not exactly easy but at the same time it's hard to imagine a world in which my brother doesn't exist.

There would also be a part of me that would be relieved that she had made the decision that was best for her and proud of her for being brave enough to do so. I would support her every step of the way.
