What Would You Do? post #1  quote:



What would you do?

1) You have just been diagnosed with Cancer and you must undergo harsh Chemotherapy in an attempt to rid your body of this foul disease. The week before you’re due to start the Chemo, your doctor does a pregnancy test, just in case. You’re pregnant. Do you postpone your Chemo nine months or more in order to have the baby and therefore risk losing your life and your babies life, or abort the foetus and have the Chemo? You can have kids later.

2) You’ve been raped, you are given the morning after pill (emergency contraception) but weeks later you find out your pregnant. You already feel used, abused and dirty, you already face the prospect of potentially reliving the moment over and over again as the rapist faces trial. Can you handle carrying his child only to adopt it out when it’s born? Can you handle raising a child that is the result of this rape? Do you abort?

3) You’re 15. You feel bad about yourself until a boy comes along and starts to pay attention to you. You’ve never really had a boyfriend before and he makes you feel super special. One night a few weeks later, he pressures you to come to his house while his parents are away. He tells you he loves you, you love him too, he says you have prove it and asks you to have sex with him. You don’t really want to, but you say yes because you don’t want to lose him. The next day at school he acts like you don’t even exist, he’s dumped you. You later find out your pregnant. What do you do?

Call me callous, but I think in all three of those situations I would have a termination.

None of them would I. But, then, I can't get pregnant in the first place, can I?

For the guys then - what would you have your partner do? Or what would you do if you were a women?

Well, that's different. I feel different about risking my partner's life than I do risking my own....

1 - I would abort and have the chemo therapy. Because for one, the chemo would either automatically abort the fetus or it would severely handicap the unborn baby. For two, baby would grow up without a mother if the treatment were put off.

2 - I would probably abort here too. Alot of times personality defects such as those in serial killers and serial rapists are often the result of both environment and genetics. It would be too difficult to bring a spawn of a devil into the world. Besides to have the child and keep it might create a resentment frmo mother to child, which could have deep impacts on the psychological well being of any human being.

3 - I don't know about this one. I went to school with a few 15 year old pregnant girls. They carried to term and had the babies. Either they kept them, gave them up for adoption or their parents raised them as the surrogate parents. I don't know how I would've felt back then.

Hmmmmmmmmmm idunno

In this case I think it's sad to have an abortion but I couldn't ask somebody to carry the baby against their will.

And I may sound like a Nazi for saying this but who wants rapists propagating their genes anyway?


3) You’re 15. You feel bad about yourself until a boy comes along and starts to pay attention to you. You’ve never really had a boyfriend before and he makes you feel super special.

This may sound cold-hearted and pitiless, but in this situation I say "tough sh**." This is why teenagers should not be having sex right here. She is gonna have to suck it up and grow up real quick cuz she is about to become a mommy.

Oh yeah and the other thing I'd do is beat the living snot out of that guy. Maybe castrate him.



for some odd reason, while the word "Ganya" was still just a thought-dropping in my head, I thought it'd only be four letters. But apparently it's five. yep.

2. - I would definitly abort. I think it is absolutely evil to expect a rape victim to carry a piece of that monster inside of them for nine more months.

3. - This one is iffy. I would have never been in this situation so it's difficult for me to say. Waiting to have sex until I was at least out of high school, was important to me...AND, I never was the type of girl who need reassuarnce from a boy for my self-esteem.
