Have you ever been pregnant?

---

I am curious to know; of the people here who assert any particular position (and this obviously wouldn't include men!) on the issue of abortion, one way or the other, how many of you have actually been pregnant?

I've been pregnant and given birth to 3 kids.......tho i think everyone here knows that LOL i also because of being pregnant, cannot say that no one should have an abortion - even tho i don't agree with them.

Once...

Twice

nope. havent been. dont plan on it either. i wanna adopt the way i see it is, there are so many children that need homes already, so why bring more into the world, when there are so many existing that need love Edit: no offence to those who have children either, it's your choice, so do what makes you happy

No, I haven't.

Two times, and two kids for me.

I had a lot of problems which led to everyone thinking I was pregnant, still not sure what really happened, but I know damn sure I'd never have an abortion. I just couldn't!

3 pregnancies - 2 kids.

Yeppers! 2 and 4...lol, no twins, just got my stepgirls too Abortion is SUCH a touchy subject, but I TOTALLY don't think it should be used as a form of birth control. I mean, if your having willing sex, and you get pregnant, I don't agree with em.

I havn't but I always used to think if i got preggers I'd definatly get an abortion.Now, I don't see having a baby young as the end of the world.

once

Are you copying me?

why would i want to do that?

Cause I'm cool?

Yeah yeah, we all know you're cool Bob!

The reason I asked this was; I get a real pain with people who've never had the experience of a crisis pregnancy taking a hard-line stance, one way or the other, on the issue of abortion. Where I come from, a large group of people can be seen waving placards on the main street of our capital which show photos of mutilated foetuses, the result of abortions. Personally, I know that abortion is wrong, and I think I am entitled to say so having had a crisis pregnancy that resulted in one, but I really resent these people waving placards in my child's face when we pass by. I feel that if they were so concerned about the rights of the child they wouldn't do this to my sons innocence. My son is hitting the teenaged years now, but they've been waving these things in our faces since he was in his pram.

On the other hand, it bothers me that people who've never had the experience of shaking with fear as a young pregnant teen who has just been told to f*****f by the child's father feel themselves entitled to purport the route of abortion. What the f**k would they know about it??!

To my mind, if you haven't had a crisis pregnancy you don't have the right to take a hard-line stance, regardless which one you choose.

I'm sure some people will disagree with me on this, and they are entitled to their views, just not to shove them in my face. I really feel, if you haven't lived it, just shut up and leave it to the people (women!) who have.

I was 16 when I found out...scared yes, abortion prone. HELL NO!!

I was almost sixteen when I got pregnant. I had my abortion at 14 weeks, about two months past my 16th birthday. The abortion felt like no choice at the time, the father told me to "f*****f and cope" or words to that effect. I knew I had no support and was terrified. This is why it bothers me so much to hear people bang on about 'evil women, burn in hell, blah blah' or 'my body, my choice, blah blah'; when most members of either party hasn’t the personal experience to result in any sort of bloody clue.

Hmmm, a crisis pregnancy. My ex and I had a little bit a few months ago when her period was late, only by about a week or two, but since the girl is like fuckiing clockwork it freaked her out. I had absolutely no problems with it, the thought of being a parent or anything like that. I know all the stuff about changing your life (I won't say ruining) and all that but I didn't care, I just made jokes and laughed about it while my ex was shitting bricks. I have no problem with abortion, and altho I'm a guy and I'm not physically losing the baby, it is taking away the experience of being a father that I am looking forward to but I feel that when the situation calls for it, its needed. When we talked about the whole "what ifs" should she be pregnant, she said that she'd have an abortion and I completely agree with her choice.

To my mind, if you haven’t had a crisis pregnancy you don’t have the right to take a hard-line stance, regardless which one you chooseYou have your views on things in which you have no experience with (i.e., race/ethnicity issues), but I don't tlel you that you have no right to express those views. In my opinion, you don't have the right to tell anyone where they should stand on an issue.Are you meaning to say that if someone hasn't experienced being pregnant, that the should be more open to what women go through? Telling someone that they don't have a right to feel a certain way is not cool.
