Ummmmm..... Spongebob.

Quoting I❤V&B:" Hell no. Being pregnant sucks and caring for a newborn sucks 80% of the time. You're a human being with ... [snip!] ... All those holier than thou people saying they kept the baby and it's great blah blah blah, well good for you. Grab a sticker. "

Bwahahahahaha love it

Good deal. *Passes sticker.* Hand or shirt only, please, not on the furniture.

Well sorry that you went through all that.

Everyone deals with things differently but she never had those complications and neither do I. So not sure what I would do given different circumstances. But I still don't think abortion would be a consideration.

A lot of my Christian friends think I'm selfish because I would absolutely abort in a case of downs, or spina bifida, or ectopic ... or pretty much any medical condition that would mean my child would have to go through pain and suffering on a daily basis.
I don't care ... be proud of you 'selfishness'.

This is why there are women's rights you should be able to choose what you want to do with your body. No one can say how they would feel unless they are in your shoes

If I were to get pregnant right now or be pregnant right now I would abort. I just simply don't want another baby.

I think the term selfish means placing concern for yourself and your own interests above the well being or interest of others, so I say yes that would have been a selfish decision, because the well being and interest of others wouldn't have been a concern for you if you made that decision for those reasons.

Every reason for having, aborting, or adopting out a baby is selfish. I don't try to rank them.

It shouldn't effect anyone but you and your SO. Because it's non of their damn bushiness.

<blockquote><b>Quoting MommyingWithGrace:</b>" I think so. My 3rd child was 6 months old when I got pregnant with my 4th. My back has been bad since ... [snip!] ... it grew on me.

Man, wish life had "sorted itself out" when I was pregnant with a 4 year old and homeless.

Also, pregnancy may be temporary, but being a parent sure as smurf isn't.

<blockquote><b>Quoting MommyingWithGrace:</b>" I understand that, but that is not the kind of stumbling I am referring to. Example: Catelynn and ... [snip!] ... and hit rock bottom. She got pregnant and aborted the child. I get that. You guys are misunderstanding what I am saying."</blockquote>



Or, you know...homeless for 8 months.

<blockquote><b>Quoting Layla-and-Faith:</b>" I have to agre with you. It is sad the amout of people who think that money is so important. Money ... [snip!] ... with that. People sweat the small stuff and A LOT of people really don't understand what is most important until it's too late."</blockquote>


I wonder if you've ever actually been broke.

Like, literally having one small meal every three days or so because your child needs to eat more than you do and you're already two months behind on rent and three months on electricity BROKE.

money is pretty smurfing important.

<blockquote><b>Quoting Dr. Paradigm Shift:</b>" <blockquote><b>Quoting Legendary Amanda:</b>" <blockquote><b>Quoting Dr. ... [snip!] ... abortion is tagged as being so selfish, but when someone who can't conceive insists on a perfect newborn- that isn't selfish."</blockquote>



Adopting is still selfish. Because YOU want to do it because it'd make YOUR life happy and better.
