[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My addict teenage goddaughter is pregnant and says she plans on keeping the baby.

The “plan” is so ludicrous I can’t even begin to outline it bc it sounds almost like it’s made up. But she plans on moving in with the fathers family in their housing project apartment even though the father isn’t in the picture.

With everything else going on that’s like one of the more thought out aspects of this. It’s so so bad.

I talked to her for an hour tonight trying to show her why she needs to get an abortion. I told her about how expensive it all is, how insane being a parent is, I told her that the sadness of an abortion is peanuts compared to the sadness of looking at your child and knowing your faults are affecting them irreversibly.

I am also paralyzed bc although I could avoid it, I see a very clear path ahead where this baby ends up with me. Maybe not forever but this could impact my family considerably.

I’m just freaking out and I need some perspective. Please be kind. Is there any angle of this I could/should take with her to ensure I’ve done everything I can to salvage this situation. She has got to get an abortion. I need to tread so carefully. [/quote]

“Please be kind.” Says the person encouraging someone to kill their unborn child. [/quote]

[b]Thank god we still have the freedom in this country for safe and legal abortions.[/b] I just donated to Planned Parenthood today. Now you run along. [/quote]

For those that CHOOSE them.   This woman is CHOOSING not to have one.  Shouldn't that CHOICE be honored and respected?   Or is it only worthy when someone is choosing YOUR way?[/quote]

Welcome to DCUM, home of the most self centered a-holes this side of the Mississippi. [/quote]

Not knowing the nature of this woman's addiction, if its opiods and I had the choice between being her child or never being born, I'd honestly pick never being born. The level of neglect those children go through is horrific, its not like an emotionally volatile alcoholic (which is awful in its own right) - its a full inability to care about or meet the child's basic needs for clean diapers, food, and a safe environment - much less a loving and nurturing one.  Have you all not heard the 1000s of stories of the baby that died due to maggot infestations after being left in a dirty diaper in a swing for 7 days, the malnourished kids who have picked through neighbors trashcans b/c no one is feeding them, the sobbing children trapped in a car seat with the parents passed out in the drivers seat?  If its this type of addiction, I too would be pushing for an abortion in the best interest of the potential child.[/quote]

PP here, and I’m a prosecutor, and believe me there are plenty of children born into “normal” households who are neglected and abused. Frankly, I see more incest and sexual abuse of children by non-drug-addicted parents. For every case you reference, I’ve seen success stories too. It’s not so black and white as you would like it to be from your ivory tower. [/quote]
