Leah Robinson 🙄 it’s a clump of cells when it’s aborted it’s not even human yet. Plus she doesn’t have the money to do that (I’m on about Meave in the video, her options are limited) you can’t just put up for adoption like that it’s not that simple. And it’s the being pregnant which is hard at that age to handle. She has no money she would be tired all the time has to deal with everything on her own, can’t really study when pregnant, needs to go to school. Etc etc !!!

Leah Robinson I’ve already responded to you twice in this comment section but I’ll reiterate it again. Unwanted pregnancy and childbirth are traumatic. If you ever go through that (and I hope that you don’t because no one deserves to) I bet you’ll at least see why people get abortions.

@@daniellr8509 you know that condoms do break from time to time, right? There is always a chance of unplanned pregnancy everytime you have sex, even with protection. It takes two to make it happen, so stop blaming women for accidental pregnancy. And the woman in the scene had 3 children to support at that moment, so she chose abortion in order to take the best care for those that she already had. She was setting her priorities straight.

[@daniellr8509]

@@tessielee21id thats not the point, of course accident happens and thats why is totally understandable to abort one or two times at the very much, but more of 2 times???Either you are the the unluckiest person in earth with condoms or you just dont care at all and prefer to fuck without a condom just to abort some months later...Whit this said I understand your point, but the thing is not to abort cause you had an accident, the thing is if you arent careful and you dont care at all about aborting...

[@tessielee21id]

@@daniellr8509 the woman in this scene has at least 1 pretty mature child, which means her abortions could have taken places over the course of years. It's very unlikely for a woman to be able to have sex until at least a month or two after an abortion because she will constantly bleed. But the most important thing is that woman chose what she thought would be best for her living and aborted children. No loving mother wants their children to be borned into hardship. Unplanned pregnancy indeed happens more frequently than you think. I personally know people (not one person) who have unplanned pregnancy even when they use multiple methods of protection. One of them have several unplanned pregnancies and miscarriages so it definitely can happen more than 1 or 2 times. The point here is not every woman has the same privileges and a good system of support to have a new baby, so unless you are the father and willing to give the best care for them both, you can't decide what is the best decision for them.

That doesn't mean that she can never have a baby or that she's killing her child. It just means that she knows that she's not ready to raise a child and doesn't want to bring it into the world and then abandon it. It's a actually an incredibly mature thing for a teenager to do.

Having a child is something you need to be prepared for, and a lot of women who get pregnant on accident are NOT prepared for it. Please just think about them, they go through a really hard time making this decision and it's not their fault. A lot of them just didn't have the proper education to know better or maybe they were sexually assaulted, you never know what could've happened to them so please have some empathy.

It's that you support that they are the tough but right decision for some people, and that's enough of a reason to keep them available for those people.

To all those people who think abortion should be illegal It's not your choice to make whether someone should have a child or not If they're ready for it then they can have it. And it's better to abort than giving a tough life to your child. No one wants their children to suffer.

My mom did her best, and i love her for that, but she did emotionally abuse me when i was in high school because she was going through a hard time mentally. Now, i have mental issues because of the abuse and genetics. I was in forster care for a short time, and i would not wish that on anyone. People who are saying just put them up for adoption dont realize who bad the system is and the abuse you go through. And i lot of kids dont get adopted. i know a lot of them are homeless, are on drugs , or have ended their lives because they dont feel like they belong anywhere.

But I still think you should take responsibility for something that you did, sex. When you have sex you should be aware of what it could create, a baby. Even if you’re wearing contraception and it fails, you should still take responsibility for it. Maybe they weren’t alive or their heart hasn’t beat yet, but you’re still ending someone’s chance to live. Sure, it’s the mother’s body, but someone already has their human rights ever since they were in their mother’s womb. And one of every human’s basic right is to be able to live.
