[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wish someone would have shown me the other alternatives.   Told me I didn't have to do this and helped me find resources.   I was 18, my parents were not supportive.  My boyfriend (at the time) was not supportive.  I had $75 to my name (boyfriend paid for the abortion) and had just started a new job at a grocery store bagging groceries.  I happened to have a Saturday off (pretty rare in the grocery business for a new hire) and worked just a few hours Friday morning, so I was able to schedule the procedure for Friday afternoon...then it was back to work on Sunday.[/quote]

You knew there were alternatives.  What you wanted someone to tell you was it was ok to be a parent with no financial, emotional, or parenting resources and to raise your child in poverty.  It's tough to find an adult who will tell you that. [/quote]

Adoption is ALWAYS an option.[/quote]

What if you are worried that your child could be born with some moderate to severe problems?  Maybe you've been drinking, smoking, not eating, even doing drugs during the pregnancy? What if you are worried that you can't take care of your pregnant body the way it should be taken care of (lack of money, addiction problems, eating disorder, etc)?  What if you simply aren't ready to put your body through a birth? Maybe you have health issues that could impact the baby (HIV, hepatitis).

It's not black and white.
