How many of you are truly pro-choice?

Given who actually has abortions, the more abortions, the better.

Generally speaking this is true. Most women facing an unplanned pregnancy do not have rich loving parents offering them full financial and emotional support. Some do, but not many.

Yes, the people who have abortions don’t want to continue being pregnant and giving birth, so it is better that they can have abortions. No matter who they are.

I'd be hard pressed to support her keeping it and I'd tell her that.

You’re not pro-choice.

I think people can choose what they want as long as I don't have to pay for it.

I guess in that scenario I wouldn't be very pro choice as I would be guiding teen daughter to the abortion clinic. I don't just sit back when a teen is making a life destroying decision.

I think this is the point OP was trying to make. That by prochoice some (many? Most? Half?) people mean they are pro abortion and antichoice about letting a teenager have and raise a baby. If your 14yo wanted to keep her baby (versus abort or put for adoption), are supportive of her choice or would cut her off for not aborting? Something along those lines.

Really now?

I'm pro-choice, but I first felt my baby kicking and moving at 20-wks. There is no way I would have aborted at that point, barring serious physical issues.

The answer to your question is yes, I would support my daughter, or my son's girlfriend.

I don't see what's so hard to believe about that. Seems like a no-brainer.

I would hope she would not have an abortion. However, we have the physical and financial resources to support her and a child, and would do so. I'm not religious at all, and always vote pro-choice, but I can't stand the thought of my grandchild being aborted, especially since I really really want grandchildren. But I wouldn't push and would be supportive whatever she chose, and definitely wouldn't try to make her feel bad about it. I'd keep it to myself.

Yeah me too, and being pro- choice means other women may feel differently, and I respect that.

You want to reduce the proportion of blacks in the population?

Oh bs. Most posters on this thread say they would support their daughter in her choice.

Also OP said 17 or 23 year old. Those are far different from a 14 year old whose own body is still closer to a child’s than a woman’s and therefore would be at greater danger in carrying a pregnancy to term and giving birth. A parent would want to take her own child’s health into consideration in such a case. And any pregnant 14 year old is a rape victim, full stop. 14 year olds cannot give consent.

I’m in the “babies are expensive” camp

I’m not raising my grandchildren unless absolutely necessary.

I’ve watched my husband’s family deal with the consequences of these decisions and I am NOT going to have my grown children bringing kids into my home to live pet a do until they are 18. No way.

I will encourage abortion and make clear to my children that are still not financially independent that we cannot care for or pay for babies they bring into this world. It is their responsibility to do so.

Live permanently, not pet a do - wtf, autocorrect?

Of course i would. I'd hope she'd have an abortion but it would be up to her, ultimately.

And you would give her the necessary financial help?

Yes. Without hesitation. And that goes either way, I might add, whatever her choice I would help her.

you must be quite rich then. children are expensive.

Yes they are. And my finances are none of your business.
