[quote=Anonymous]OP I was just in this position a few mos. back and it was a very grueling experience for me. Having just been in your shoes, I [i]totally[/i] can relate to that gut-wrenching feeling of your life being a living hell and not knowing what to do, etc.

I actually conceived at 44 and was not on birth control because I figured at such an advanced age, it was next to impossible, but it happened a few mos. into a bad relationship. I was going to terminate the pregnancy, but thank goodness I actually miscarried on my own.

I know that [b]abortion[/b] is a very hotly debated topic. People are very passionate about it and are usually on one side of the fence or the other. To be "on the fence" about it is quite rare and it is even more rare for someone to be open-minded about their views on this subject.

I want to say that I am glad that in our country, the United States of America, us women have the right to choose a legal AND safe abortion. We are not bound to an unjust [u]nine months of pregnancy[/u] just for one unplanned mistake. It seems cruel to put a woman through this and not allow her any other option.

Since financially you do not think you can care for a child plus it doesn't sound like emotionally you are ready to be a parent, then I would say exercise your constitutional right to choose. Abortion can be done safely and confidentially and there is little to no recovery time.

When the time is right, you will know it, but right now, you are not fit to be a parent.

I wouldn't consider adoption considering your job could be at stake regarding your health issues and you missing so much work.

Best of luck to you.
