Abortion

I am 10 weeks pregnant and am considering a vacuum aspiration abortion.  Although my boyfriend feels he is ready for kids, he can be emotionally abusive at times.  I am in a new place where I have no family/friends which makes it especially hard.  Has anyone ever had this procedure and if so, any advice??

Everyone has their opnions because of moral reason, just like chooseing what religion, abortion is up to each individual, and they shouldn't feel ashamed for thinking about it or doing it. Just think long and hard because it does have a huge emotional impact on u for the rest of your life, same with adoption and keeping the fetus, your a strong woman and sounds like you just need time to think things through, talk to your boyfriend about his emotional abuse, and so forth tell him your scared, at everything its your choice that u have the right to do, just remember u can never take it back, I am personally pro choice, as long as its not used as a form of birth control, I know someone who has had 8 because she dosent like the feeling of north contol or whatever, that's when I have a problem with it, but hon its up to you and only you

The original poster is going through enough right now without some of you telling her she will be murdering her baby and betraying God.  Yes, I believe babies are a blessing but we can't decide this for her.  She simply asked about the procedures not if you thought she should have an abortion.

I'm going to pray you don't get an abortion. God doesn't bless people with children for no reason. He blessed you knowing you could do it. Even if you choose adoption, dont betray God. Please sweetie rethink your decision. God have you this baby, and he will by all means support that baby. Also if you say your boyfriend is verbally abusive, you should rethink being in a relationship with him. You'll be in my prayers, and I send u many blessings.:)

Something I see, hear, and read a lot of is embarrassment when you have problems. I agree that you do need some sort of counseling/someone to talk to. BUT what I mean by embarrassment is that I see a lot of people NOT ask for help because of it. Don't be. You're have a lot on your plate, let someone help you work through it.

I would suggest counseling, period, to help you cope with your relationship and adjust to your new place. You're under a lot of stress right now, and this is a big decision. Doesn't matter whether you choose to keep the baby, terminate or give it up, it's always a big responsibility and you will live with your decision for the rest of your life. Deal with the stress, fear, and relationship issues, and making the choice that's right for you will be easier.

If you don't know anybody where you are, call a trusted friend or check your phone listings for mental health or counseling services. Good luck!
