Pregnancy at the age of 46 is considered a more at risk or higher risk pregnancy. There is more chance of complications at that age. Also there is a greater chance of menopause kicking in after baby born. Whatev I or any other person personally feels about abortion, it is the person's individual choice. Without knowing the full reasons someone came to that decision, it is noone else's place to judge.

I can't free my mind of the fact that she got fucked so soon after her divorce from my dad. Her hormones were peaking at the time I guess :)

Yes they probably were. People are sometimes misinformed. Think the older women get, the less sex drive they have or once they hit menopause their sex drive goes away. And that isn't always the case. It's usually the opposite. Your sex driver goes into overdrive. Well, mine did. Your mom's probably did too

No. The way people view dating and relationships. The casual attitude about casual sex and cheating. And the way social media is interfering, ruining relationships, no thanks

Ironically the first thing I did was the math and thinking how young was your mother when she had you? 16ish... lol.
Anyways got invited to answer this old question, so I will.
No I would not have one, even when I was pregnant from my rapist, I didn't consider it. I was instead looking through hundreds of profiles of potential adoptive parents who wanted a newborn, to try and find the right match. It never got that far, as I miscarried a few months in.
I will say, my former best friend from college, cheated on her husband all the time, got pregnant a lot and kept getting abortions, she had 4 that I knew of, while secretly hiding it from her husband and her flings. I was disgusted by how she would refuse to make men use condoms and would pretend to want a child with her husband and viewed abortion as a type of birth control.
It was once she wanted me to lie to cover for her, I said I'm not going to cover for you. If your husband comes and asks if you were with me or not, I'm going to be honest. That is when we stopped being friends.

I just wanted to say, it’s easier to not feel bad about an abortion when you can’t see the growing life inside you. Think about it. If you saw a baby at your doorstep, would you want to leave him/her to let her die? In reality, abortion involves the limb by limb removal of a baby from a woman’s uterus. So I’d say it’s equivalent to murder. A life, whether unborn or developing is still a life. All of us started as a zygote. Can we say that because we’re already born, that our lives matter more than someone who is still a zygote? That wouldn’t be fair would it? We all started as zygotes. We know that that a zygote contains the ingredients that we do that make us people, but they are not fully grown. That is the only thing that distinguishes is born people from them. So I believe, personal convenience is not a good reason to stop a life from being born.

Killing a baby is not a good answer to a "problem," be it a real problem that you didn't create (e. g., rape) or an imagined problem (e, g., thinking you can't afford the cost) or you just think a baby will be an inconvenience to your narcissist existence.

@samantha_17 I was invited to share my opinion so ill be honest. I'm 100% pro choice. Nobody has the right to judge anyone if they choose to have an abortion because the circumstances involved for a start, also its HER body... I can't stress that enough. A woman is allowed to choose not to continue a pregnancy without ridicule. Contraception isn't always effective. And even so there are other factors into why she might have an abortion. I think people being so harsh about this have never been put in that position and its horrible to judge another woman over something when you have no idea what its like to be her or in her situation where maybe she has no capable means of taking care of a baby or adding to the children she already has. I know girls who have had abortions and I don't judge them by any means because they did what was right for them and made logical choices. I don't agree that its a form of birth control and it shouldn't be used in that way but I don't think women should be ridiculed and put down as selfish heartless people over it. Your mother was 46 when she had hers as you said. Well technically she would have a geriatric pregnancy which has its own complications and issues so I don't really get why you're judging your mother on that. My mother had an abortion after having 3 children when I was little but I would never judge her as we saw how hard it was for her as it was and how she worked full time to pay private rent and to give me and my brothers everything she could when she didn't get much, with little to no help from my dad. Don't judge when you have no idea.

I don't agree with it, but everyone is entitled to do what it's best for them.
I personally think, if you can open yourself to do it then you are to think of questions like what if? And accept your consequences and have the baby, health or not. If it was done from a rape or someone forced themselves on to you and concieve a child, then its very understandable!! to terminate the pregnancy... no judgment there at all its a personal choice.

What if it's the result of birth control failure (e. g. broken condom) or not using BC at all?

Better not be a mother than a bad mother, and if the kid is gonna life in bad conditions without basic things or love (whether it's with a family or an orphanage) it's cruel to keep the pregnancy.
