I know this is a extreme sensitive for some and I apologize for it.
But hypothetically say your in a relationship and it ends while you are newly pregnant. How did it all work out? I wouldn't want to raise w child in a single parent home. That's a lot for the kid and adult, especially if said adult is employed full time.
Why put that type of work on yourself?
Would it just be better to send the gift back to god?
But if you did not. How is the relationship between you and the child's father now?

I'm going to say that I am firmly against abortion in these types of circumstances. The only cases where I think abortion should be an option is in cases of rape, incest, or danger to the mother' life. I don't think this is an easy situation and all the more reason I think sex ed needs to be taught fully and Plan B should be readily available. I respect how difficult this decision would be for a woman.
No I damn sure don't think it would be better to "send the gift back to God." (that just sounds sick and conceited, this from a self-confessed selfish a-hole)

Hypothetically there is no reason to ask such a question just to cause a huge uproar/debate on the forum.
In real life there is NO blanket answer, whatever the individuals involved choose is what they choose and it is or should not be the concern of anyone else.
PS ~~ You cannot be "newly" pregnant, you are either pregnant and recently found out OR you are not pregnant.
It would really depend on the situation. I don't think I could give a blanket response to that.
This is basically how I feel. At this point in my life, having a child is not an option, so I simply don't have sex. Extreme? Maybe.
Regardless, if I had just gotten out of the relationship and was newly pregnant I would probably get an abortion and I have no 'moral' qualms about that. Ask me again in 10 years when my fertility will be nearly zilch and I might have a much different answer.
I am pro choice and have had terminated a pregnancy before but that was for medical reasons. Personally, I feel if you are going to have intercourse and you know that pregnancy is a direct result of having intercourse (even BC isnt 100%) you need to take responsibility for your choice. Meaning aborting a pregnancy because it will be an inconvenience to you is not really a good excuse or reason to do it.
And hearing that phrase "gift from god" coming from someone asking a question like this is in bad taste. There are many women who would do anything to get pregnant and have a baby. To throw that insensitive and ingnorant comment around is in poor taste.
