  • Yes. This happened to me once. I fell into heavy psychosis and became a threat to myself and others.

    Having an abortion was the hardest thing I ever had to do, but if I hadn’t done it I very well may have killed myself and/or others in that warped state of mind.

    Coming an inch away from death or dying during childbirth runs in my family. I can’t do it.

  • NO!!! If your birth control fails it was for a reason, the child growing inside you was meant to be. If you don't want the child there are millions of couples who can't have children of their own, who would give their right eyes to have the baby that you are so willing to abort. So ladies please, be a surrogate mother for those who can't have children.

  • Nope. I know someone who got infertile from an abortion, so no thanks, I pass. I’d rather give the baby up for adoption than abort it.

    • My mom did the opposite and had an abortion.

    • I have nothing against people who choose to get one. I’m pro choice. I personally will never have one though.

  • I always thought I would do it. But as I’m getting older I’ve come to the realisation that it’s not something I can do.

  • No, I'd keep it because I know I'm in a good place with my boyfriend and that we'd be fine. I'm not gonna say whether I'm for or against abortion because that's a super touchy subject. I don't really want a kid yet though, maybe in a couple years :)

  • If I had doubts I could raise (and I did with my first kid) and be a good parent to a child, then yes, its something to consider. Especially if I was using birth control and it fails.

  • No, I think I'd only do it if I were raped.

  • I’d be straight on it 😂

  • Yes if I know that the baby is going to suffer in childhood. If am not ready to support the baby financially, cannot give it all the time and care it needs, and do not have the knowledge to take care of it, then let it be an abortion.

  • I don't think about unexpected pregnancy ever. Hard to get pregnant doing what I do.

  • I will never have sex in the first place.
    But hypothetically the answer is YES.
    There is a reason girls take birth control because they don't want a F**KING unwanted child.
    Logical answer is to definitely go for abortion if the birth control failed. It's so ironical to keep a child when you intended to use birth control in the first place.

  • Heck no. The only reason a woman should get one in my book is if she was raped, or in an abusive relationship. Any other reason is unacceptable, if a child is not for you put him o her up for adoption there are plenty of loving couples out there that want a family but can't have one of their own. That being said I do have friends that have had one and I did not judge them for it.

  • No. I could never murder my child.

  • Unequivocally yes. That's why it should always be the law to have the choice.

  • @Samantha_17 My step-mom apologises she had to leave.

    It really depends on what caused her to get an abortian.

  • Depends on situation

  • No... I would just be like... oh well, you stuck bitch. You about to be a mom lol

  • No id never have an abortion. But when I was pregnant I understood why some people would it's definitely an emotional mind fuck.

  • Depends. If it was a result of consensual sex, I would just take responsibility and live with it. I want kids anyway. Also, I could never even talk to a woman who has no acceptable reason for getting an abortion, like she simply didn't want to bare the responsibility or she cheated and doesn't want her man to find out or she "wasn't ready for a child", which I hear sometimes. Rape, however, is a different matter.

    • Also, I don't get why this question is open for men... lol

    • They are the part of the process :)

  • Yes.
