abortion? it depends….

I dont agree with Inday’s option of aborting the baby. I know its easy for me to say this because I am not in her shoes, but killing an unborn child because it will make life more difficult for her is simply wrong for me. Adoption is always an option. That’s the best advice I can give her. If she’s not willing to raise the child then give it to someone else who would be willing to raise it like their own. Perhaps, giving that child the best chance of having a normal healthy life. & next time, please, if she can’t say no to her husband, or if they both cannot control their sexual urges, then go to the nearest barangay health center & ask for a suitable contraceptive (be it condoms, ligation, vasectomy, pills, etc). I’d rather have her use a contraceptive than go to an abortionist.

In Beverly’s case, I wouldn’t know what advice to give her. If I am the mother, I would of course choose the life of the baby. But its not my sole decision to make. I have to consider my husband as well. Would he rather have a family without a mother or a family without a child? Knowing my husband, he’d probably (hopefully – hahahaha) choose me. In this case, then abortion would be the best way to go. & no, I don’t think its wrong in this case. Another thing, we could always adopt.

If I were in Mylene’s case, I wouldn’t know what to do. This would entail endless soul searching. I’ll think about it more… along with a serious discussion with the hubby.

For Kimberly’s case, I would also suggest that she opt for adoption. But, I wouldn’t blame her if she chooses to abort the baby. She is so young. & something this tragic (rape) would probably scar her for the rest of her life. Taking care of a baby will definitely not help. Unless she’s mature enough to accept the responsibilities… Oh by the way, I would definitely go to one of those vigilante group & have Tomas killed…
