What if I don't believe in God? That's y i added if you are strictly contributing from a religious perspective.
I do believe in God and i believe he has reasons for everything. I also think he would understand aborting a two weeks pregnancy gotten from a rape incident.
It is really interesting to see @wolfofnostreet , @young-boss-karin and @nkechi all being a fan of pro-Choice!
Have you guys got any personal experiences to share? Or any you've heard about?
A friend of mine. She was a religious person until she got into the situation. She was so sad and bitter thinking of how her life will end up cos of that unplanned situation. Her family, her education. She couldn't imagine that she'll have to pause her life despite all the sacrifices the family had made for her.
It was a mistake. One which anyone can make. Pro choice was the only way left for her. In that moment, she forgot all the religious perspectives and went for the Pro choice.
An outsider might get all judgemental about it but Hey.... No one really understands a situation they haven't been through.
A lot of experiences we have in this life and have little or no control over them. So when there's a choice to make, we really shouldn't leave to chance as well especially when it's affecting our life adversely.
"My 13year old SC warrior is pregnant. She has known for few months but didn't tell me and I'm so ashamed and worried as a mother that I did not notice at all. I did not even know she has started seeing her period and I did not ask because I was told that as girls see their period late because of their health status She is so decent and I have never seen her talk to boys. the boy that impregnate her is an Christian in our church staying with his old grand mother He is 17 and my daughter looks like an ten year old even at her age.
Is abortion an option, is pregnancy at her age an option. What can I do. This torture is too much. I beat her so much that I wish the pregnancy will be miscarried but no it didn't. Please help me people. Just a young warrior that falls sick every now and then. What will pregnancy now do to her. I can't eat,sleep or think straight. The girl has tortured me forever".
Sorry I had to re-edit because of posting permission.
Now Here is a typical real life experience.
Forget about the mothers irresponsibility.
The adolescent mother and baby's health is of priority.
We meet with this for counseling..
Pro choice or pro life in this instance?
Everyone is entitled to their opinion and the mother here also seeks prochoice, but the adolescent mother has to be involved in the decision making along side medical personal who should monitor the whole process.
At this point, it's tricky because she's minor but it's still her body. However, whatever decision she makes had to be backed by her parents. If she makes a decision that her parents don't morally support then they won't go for it. Let's face it, not many Nigerians are liberal.
I believe that liberal parents will support their child to be pro-choice if that's what she wants. Because let's face it, in a society like ours it's easy for that girl to go ahead and have an abortion without any adult knowing.
She was already having sex without anyone's knowledge so what's now stopping her from terminating it asides from her morals.
The age isn't the issue, because if she can be held down through the entire 9 months then she can be walked through an abortion. Yes, still pro-choice.
Her health condition kind of makes her age an issue in this case especially if she's one who has frequent crisis.
Then is it giving birth that will be easy on her?
In this case abortion is even the BEST option
No, we can't say as it's a peculiar case. Both options have to be weighed based on doctor's advice.
From a lot of stories I've heard, an abortion would be a lot easier than giving birth.
One person told me she was injected with a sedative and woke up as nothing happened. That sounds a lot easier than any giving birth process I've ever heard.
If it's not too late to get an abortion, I maintain being Pro-choice here. She's so young and an ss warrior for that matter, her body is not ready for the stress about to occur! She already has her crisis to deal with then add pregnancy at that age? Haba
*pro-choice not pro-life
Yeah , edit , thanks....and I'm waiting.... any experience? I feel personally that when it hasn't happened, it easy to conclude or say pro life
