There are so many choices that we face that have huge impacts on the rest of our lives; College, jobs, career, wife/husband, family. But there is a choice that is present in our society that I really don't think should be an option, that is abortion. Abortion is the legal killing of a human fetus.
Once a sperm cell penetrates the egg, you have got yourself a growing human inside the womb. That is God's creation, a gift, given to us by and through him.
The United States has the highest teen pregnancy rate in the industrialized world. The Center for Disease control says that one-third of girls get pregnant before the age of 20. The feelings of shock, fear, joy, excitement and in some cases, shame, set in with most of these pregnant teens. And some are faced with a choice: abort, or live up to thier mistakes. First off, to any girl who has had the choice and chose life, I applaud you for your courage and strength. To those who chose to abort, I'm not mad at you, I just hope you live with the guilt and pain of knowing you killed a child. No matter what you people say, a fetus, no matter what stage, is a growing child of Christ, and you are a FOOL if you think other wise.
If you abort, YOU did this ON PURPOSE. You said, "This CHILD does not deserve LIFE." And you took it, and you deserve to be locked up for life. Bottom line.
You can come up with a million and one situations to make this "right". One thing I have heard a billion times is "OH UH well... What if she was raped?!" I find that completely asinine. One solution: ADOPTION! There! Problem solved! I would much rather have a child grow up not knowing his or her father/mother, then for them to be DEAD. Lets just say they weren't raped, the parents were to stupid to wrap it up. Grow up! If you want to make the "adult" decision by having sex, you can surely be adult enough to take care of a child. Just sit down and buckle up, because life is not going to be easy.
Yes, it is her choice, but you have to go pretty low if you even contemplate the idea. And I will just say that I am praying for your soul. To the girls: PLEASE for the sake of your CHILD, think about what is right and pray that you do the right thing.

As someone who was teenage mother, I absolutely agree. I do however believe there is forgiveness through God's mercy for killing your baby. Abortion will not solve the problem. It will haunt the mother forever, it doesn't go away like some think it will after having one. God has blessed my child inspite of my poor choices.
