Should abortion be banned for irresponsible teenagers? by Pamela Priya https://padlet.com/pampri87/omu2h7gib9uw What are some issues connected with banning abortion? Is abortion ever justified? How can we stop teenagers from behaving irresponsibly? en-us 2018-01-24 23:16:07 UTC 2018-01-25 06:24:40 UTC hello@padlet.com Article 1 pampri87 https://padlet.com/pampri87/omu2h7gib9uw/wish/224517448 http://www.debate.org/opinions/is-teen-pregnancy-a-good-thing]]> 2018-01-25 05:36:21 UTC https://padlet.com/pampri87/omu2h7gib9uw/wish/224517448 Article 2 pampri87 https://padlet.com/pampri87/omu2h7gib9uw/wish/224517494 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1022525/]]> 2018-01-25 05:36:47 UTC https://padlet.com/pampri87/omu2h7gib9uw/wish/224517494 Article 3 pampri87 https://padlet.com/pampri87/omu2h7gib9uw/wish/224517553 https://www.youngwriterssociety.com/work/WindSailor/Why-Abortions-Are-Irresponsible-118699]]> 2018-01-25 05:37:21 UTC https://padlet.com/pampri87/omu2h7gib9uw/wish/224517553 Issues pampri87 https://padlet.com/pampri87/omu2h7gib9uw/wish/224518847 Abortion can almost never be justified because it impacts a life, through the loss of it. Regardless of reason, it is almost impossible to accept any justification for abortion.

People may resort to other methods of getting rid of a child, and this can have even more detrimental effects. We already hear of cases of babies being abandoned in toilets and bins. Do we really want to hear of worse stories in the news?

Going through abortion depends on the circumstance. For instance to some people it may be as good as committing a sin as it takes away someone's else life and  his opportunity to live. In my opinion, it is definitely very heart-wrenching to see a life taken away just like that.Additionally, i feel that it takes two hands to clap and those who do the crime should be prepared to do the time.However, there are instances where the guy leaves after finding out that he made the girl pregnant and that he realises he does not want to be responsible for the child and commit himself to it. As for the girl, she may feel forced to abort the child as her taking care of the child is almost as good as a child taking care of a child? Adoption may not be the best option as well as the person taking care of the child in the future may not feel ample love for the child as it is not his to begin with.  All in all, as long as both parents feel that they are mature and responsible enough to take care of the child together, they definitely should not abort the child as it is their product and they should take responsibility for their actions.

For example, the teen couple may be facing some difficulties like not having a proper source of income and thus children expenses may be hard to achieve. It is indeed easy to push the blame of abortion to teen parents. However, we must also understand what obstacles they might be facing and how we are going to help them, rather than giving them pressure, bringing them to court and finally blaming them for their decision for sex before marriage. Such comments and criticism should not be encouraged, we must think of ways to help the teenagers. Aborting a child will have numerous impacts on the mother. They may suffer from several emotional and psychological problems that will have significant negative impact on their future relationship. At critical times like this we should be helping them, not blaming them, and sometimes abortion is really the only way out.

As mentioned in the article, not having an abortion for young parents may cause a great impact in their future as bringing up a child when you're schooling may not be the best option you have as it is unhealthy for both the child and the parents. Hence abortion should not be banned]]> 2018-01-25 05:54:06 UTC https://padlet.com/pampri87/omu2h7gib9uw/wish/224519221 View on abortion https://padlet.com/pampri87/omu2h7gib9uw/wish/224519225 Personally, I feel that abortion is a cruel thing to do. If the teenagers dare to do something that is wrong and illegal, hence they should dare to face the consequences and raise the child on their own. Not only abortion means that the teenager is literally killing an infant inside of her, but it could also affect the teenager's future pregnancies. Miscarriages could occur in the future and it would be hard for the teenager to produce babies. Abortion could also affect the teenager's mental health. It is hard for teenagers to go through this, but they would learn to be more responsible and feel how a mother feels like. They would learn to grow up and not only think of themselves anymore. Hence, abortion should be banned.]]> 2018-01-25 05:54:08 UTC https://padlet.com/pampri87/omu2h7gib9uw/wish/224519225 abortion https://padlet.com/pampri87/omu2h7gib9uw/wish/224519284 Abortion should be banned for irresponsible teenagers but not entirely. Teens who get pregnant due to consensual sex, and ask for abortion, are irresponsible. Why would they have sexual intercourse knowing about the consequences of having a baby at a young age? Of course some may argue that these teens may have accidentally got pregnant during the intercourse but why would you say yes in the first place even after knowing the consequences and the hardship a mother has to carry?
In some cases where some teen moms just cannot support the child and has to result in abortion, then it shouldnt be banned. If we ban abortion entirely for teens, it would be unfair for those who cannot support the baby as they will suffer eventually. Therefore, to say whether abortion should or should not be banned for teens would really depend on the reason for it. Whether it is a "just cause" reason or a legitimate reason for the abortion.]]> 2018-01-25 05:54:42 UTC https://padlet.com/pampri87/omu2h7gib9uw/wish/224519284 Opinion On Abortion https://padlet.com/pampri87/omu2h7gib9uw/wish/224519317 I feel that the debate of whether abortion is justified or not is not something that is a simple "Yes" or "No" answer. It really depends on the kind of situation that the mother is in. Many teenagers who got pregnant often say that giving birth and keeping the baby has taught them so much and made their life meaningful for them. However, others end up aborting the baby, and although sad, feels like it is a responsible choice that they made. Who is to decide what the "right" choice really is? Is there even a "right" choice? If the mother is unable to cope mentally and the guy has left her to fend for herself or has financial issues, if the mother keeps the baby, wouldn't the baby suffer and go through many hardships when he/she is born? ]]> 2018-01-25 05:55:06 UTC https://padlet.com/pampri87/omu2h7gib9uw/wish/224519317 Harsher punishments? pampri87 https://padlet.com/pampri87/omu2h7gib9uw/wish/224519325 Will harsher punishments work or will it backfire with worse consequences? ]]> 2018-01-25 05:55:09 UTC https://padlet.com/pampri87/omu2h7gib9uw/wish/224519325 View on abortion https://padlet.com/pampri87/omu2h7gib9uw/wish/224519345 Abortion is very irresponsible, and that teenagers should have thought of the consequences before they even have sex. However, you cant entirely blame the underage parents too , if they were to abort the children as they do not have the ability  or financial ability to take good care of the child. They might also be unprepared to take on the responsibility of the child.So instead of giving birth to the children and causing everyone to suffer, they chose abortion.

However ,  I understand  that there are many reasons as to why people chose to abort . Take for example , It could be simply because it is costly to raise a child . Secondly , It could be because they do not have the time for a baby . A teen should still be in school , and having a baby is almost like their life pauses there . They will not be able to live normally or grow up with their peers . However , I still feel that it is too cruel to abort . Even if its not a irresponsible teenager , no one should ever abort . By aborting the baby , It is taking the life right out of he / she . It is taking the chance away from that soul that is innocent . which brings me to my next point , the baby growing in the teen is innocent  it is unfair to not being able to have chance to live .  The baby should not have its chance taken away from him /her just because of an irresponsible teenager.

People should really consider whether there is anything that will prevent them from being able to support a baby. This is especially the case for teenagers, who most of the time are unable to support a child due to having to focus on their studies and not having a financial ability to support a child. While the idea of abortion itself is cruel, raising a child which was a result of an unplanned pregnancy and living a poor life while doing so is also almost equally as bad. the child will live a sad life as he/she is unwanted and seen as a burden to her parent. if the parent comes from a wealthy family it is not as bad. Unfortunately, this is not usually the case. Of course, having to make all these decisions if the teens could just control their hormones and not have sex.]]> 2018-01-25 05:56:35 UTC https://padlet.com/pampri87/omu2h7gib9uw/wish/224519464 Teenage Abortion https://padlet.com/pampri87/omu2h7gib9uw/wish/224519477 Teenage abortions are often due to economic, social and commitment issues. While abortions may seem very cruel and inhumane to many, abortion is more logical of a solution than you may think. Bearing a child that may be unwanted in a broken home seems to me to be a recipe for disaster. The child will grow up being raised by parents who probably do not want them and view them as burdens be it economically or otherwise. This can ultimately result in child abuse and in turn, psychological trauma for the child. Why give a child life if you cannot, or rather, are unwilling to provide and care for him/her? Why put a child through such suffering? If abortion is banned, the number of cases of abandoned children will skyrocket. ]]> 2018-01-25 05:56:41 UTC https://padlet.com/pampri87/omu2h7gib9uw/wish/224519477 Support more than punish! pampri87 https://padlet.com/pampri87/omu2h7gib9uw/wish/224519483 I feel that we should support teenagers more than punish them. If we ban abortion, that means we have to punish them according to the law if someone breaks the rule. But what if they are just helpless and desperate or lost? I think we should provide more education that we currently have on how they can be responsible at their age. There should also be more help avenues for them to turn to in desperate times. ]]> 2018-01-25 05:56:44 UTC https://padlet.com/pampri87/omu2h7gib9uw/wish/224519483 Choice of Abortion https://padlet.com/pampri87/omu2h7gib9uw/wish/224519645 While abortion may be seen as cruel, and often causes people to pose the question: What gives us the right to decide if one shall live?

https://www.seattletimes.com/opinion/abort-a-baby-to-save-twin-painful-choice-that-is-a-mothers-to-make/

Although the twins mentioned in this case were already "born", I think that the making of a decision is as good as making a choice while the babies are still in the womb. In this case, the parents had to make a choice on whether to go ahead with the operation and one twin will live, while the other dies, or to not do the operation, in which both twins will eventually die.

Was it a wrong decision to approve of the operation? Sometimes, people are forced into situations like the above, in which I feel that maybe, just maybe, abortions are not bad. If abortions are banned, if surgeries like that were illegal, will we just watch as the babies die, when we know we have the chance to save one of them?]]> 2018-01-25 05:58:03 UTC https://padlet.com/pampri87/omu2h7gib9uw/wish/224519645 Reasons why teens abort https://padlet.com/pampri87/omu2h7gib9uw/wish/224519823 Many teens choose to abort the baby as they are not ready to take on the responsibility of the child. Some also fear that the baby might affect their future lives as teen pregnancies will lead to many criticisms by judgmental people. The lack of financial income is also one of the reasons why teenagers choose to abort their baby. Even if they decide to keep the baby, they might choose to drop out of school and this can have a major impact on their future lives. Some might choose to abort as the pregnancy is caused by non consensual sex.]]> 2018-01-25 05:59:48 UTC https://padlet.com/pampri87/omu2h7gib9uw/wish/224519823 Opinion on abortion https://padlet.com/pampri87/omu2h7gib9uw/wish/224519840  
Teen pregnancy has been one of the hottest topic in this society today. Many have ponder on this question due to the increasing amount of abortion taking place as a result of irresponsible teenagers. In my opinion, abortion should not be banned at all and instead, be a choice where teenagers can make. In the perspective of the victim, they may feel as though they have yet to fully develop what it takes to master the life skills on raising a child. As such, their first instinct would be to abort the child as getting rid of the child would solve all of their problems and worries. If one were to actually raise the child, would they have actually taken care of the baby with proper care? would the child be contented with what he/she has? and most importantly, will the child not be abandoned and left forgotten alone by herself/himself? These questions are are what supports the choice of abortion. Henceforth, by banning abortion, it would lead to these unwanted and tragic outcomes where it could be prevented in the first place by making abortion as a choice. Having to end the life of a young one rather than making them suffer throughout their entire birth is what i think will be the best choice made.
