Katie and Natalia, two women who have made the tough decision to terminate a pregnancy, join Markai to speak with Dr. Drew about their experiences.
It's never an easy decision so don't write an essay about your pro-life views. Don't take a crap on our decision just because you don't like it. Do you think they enjoyed doing it? Just TRY to take a step in their shoes. I can't believe the site allowed you to write this.
Oh, shut up.
I was raised Pro-Life and still stand by it 100%. My only factors is that if your raped by a family member or raped in general then its ur decision. I hate how people say "gave up their baby for adoption" you aren't giving up that baby your giving the child a better life, a better home, and a better chance. They are a gift, not some goal that you gave up or failed at. If your that strong to do so then your doing a good job. Everyone can be a parent, if they try. Saying "I'm not ready cause i wanna finish school" is bull my mom was an ICU nurse when she was pregnant with me. she was 35 and walking around ALL day and night carrying a 9lb baby in her tummy she worked till the day she went into lahbor. AND my father was in college and taking care of me while my mom worked. so you can do it age is not a big factor. My best friend is 19 with two kids and is grad and in college. Giving up a life and yes KILLING someone isn't worth an education. I believe once you take that pregnancy test and it comes out positive that baby is a living breathing thing. you'r feeding it every time you eat, hydrating it every time you have a glass of water. your giving himorher shelter for 9 months in your womb. You created it grow up and be responsible. your right its hard to do it Dr Drew because you know in the back of your mind its wrong to do it. "OH i was all by myself" you chose to be by urself. i understand if you parents aren't okay with it no parents okay with their baby having a baby. but be an adult about it if your having unprotected sex taking your BC wrong, using bad condoms by not checking the expiration date or making sure they stay in a drawer somewhere where they cant rip. people who drop out cause of unplaned pregnancy do it because they dont want to try. we learned from brook in 16 and pregnant season3 that you CAN work and you CAN go to school take care of your kids and be a good wife gf or whatever. you just have to put 100% into it. society is so messed up right now to think other wise. oh its the babies fault, no its your fault what if your parents aborted you? what if tim tebows mom aborted him after they said he wasnt going to live, or he would have mental problems. now hes one of the best QBs in the nation. imagine if any of the heroes we know today were aborted or killed off before they were born.. this world would be a messed up place. think about that
XoXAshes i have two little children under age 2 too i am 24 and i have nobody only my husbands support , we don't have any degree only high school and i cant imagine how painful have to be to go thru abortion , well i think if you are mature to have sex at that age you should be mature to have children! That is why i don't get how Markai could do that , she has such a beautiful baby girl already , every time she looks at her she;ll be thinking of unborn... seriously those kids don't think of consequences at all , i am not judging just saying, I'll pray for those little angels
Wow! How shallow are you? Just because YOU do not agree with someones views does not mean you can condemn them for their actions.
Im Not judging. Just observing
XoXAshes, I truly hope you and your husband and kids live happily ever after, but what would you do if your husband didn't want to marry you and deserted you and your kids? Who would take care of them while you worked a minimum wage job? If you were one of an overwhelming number of girls who have no support system and no degree, you'd end up on welfare just like them. Please do not judge girls who are not as fortunate as you to have a loving supportive husband who makes it possible for you to be a stay-at-home mom.
Reggan, I am not judging you. I think you are wonderful to help your sisters and others support their kids. I just wish you would not judge others who are not as fortunate to have such good support systems. If they did, they might have made different choices. Maybe the world needs more social workers.
I'm not saying you need a college degree to be a good parent, but as the overwhelming number of welfare recipients show, it's tough to finance the basic necessities of life for your kids if you drop out of school. Girls can't always count on the father sticking around to help. Financial stress is the #1 reason for divorce, and it's so tough to be a single parent that I can respect why some girls might want to choose an abortion rather than risk continuing the cycle of poverty.
so why do you think people need a college degree to be good parents?
Her daughter was 4 mo old when she got prego w #2. Her kids are now in high school. Yes my sis got a college degree and worked her butt of for it. She didnt go for her masters like my other sis but thats ok she has her college degree and that is huge. She did get a lot of support from me and my other siblings (since as u can guess the dad was and still is a deadbeat) my parents werent too happy but they came around after a short 'bout' of feeling angry, scared, disapointed etc. like any parent would. I know that we are very lucky to have eachother and not everyone has that. But u shouldnt judge me and assume I am not out there helping other families and children in need b/c I do. Outside of my 'real job' that is actually my passion and where my heart is. So I am happy to help.
if they didnt want to deal with the pain and scrutiny they shouldnt have done it, they shoulda went to some back alley and had it done maybe then it would have fcked them up and made them sterile these people dont deserve to have the gift of a child
how can you applaud their courage to go through with killing an innocent child? so let me get this right its ok to kill a baby for completely selfish reasons such as college? and you hav to go to college to be a good parent too right? just because the pregnancy wasnt planned doesnt mean the child deserves to die. everyone deserves a chance at life. i did not go to college i chose to be a stay at home mom to them. just because im young, 21, and have two kids under age 2 let me guess im a horrible parent and setting them up for failure because my husband and i kept them and not had them murdered
You have some excellent points with which I agree, I just wish you would focus your passion to intervene on behalf of the kids that are suffering outside the womb before you judge those that have chosen to end that cycle of suffering. By the way, I read another unrelated post of yours saying you had a 17-year-old sister who was "freaking out" because she found out she was pregnant 14 months after her first unplanned baby was born? Is she planning on continuing her education like your other sister who got her Masters after her unplanned pregnancy? I hope so, but again she'll need a lot of outside support from you. Your sisters are very lucky.
Its interesting to see your compassion for those on Death Row who have gone thru the system and have been found guilty of murder, ****, treason, etc. But u r wlling to take the life of the innocent to further personal education goals or abort them just in case they were to ever grow up and do something that would put them on death row to be killed by the government anyway. Im not for the death penalty btw. On the contrary pro-life people believe all life is precious from the womb to the tomb. Not everyone is born with a silver spoon in their mouth. Just because u are poor or have a wacked out family doesnt mean u r better off dead.
I have enormous respect for your sister and everyone else who is able to overcome the huge hurdles of completing their educational goals after having a baby. And bless your heart for what I'm sure was a ton of babysitting on your part to help your sister achieve her dreams. However, those girls that are not lucky enough to have the support network to care for a baby and continue their education deserve the same respect if they choose NOT to chance raising their kids in poverty and adding to the overloaded welfare system or prisons. Death row is not exactly teeming with people who grew up in loving families who wanted and nurtured them. Yet, ironically, many people who call themselves "pro-life" are pro-death penalty. My guess is many people who are on death row had mothers who were talked out of an abortion, and if someone had just taken the time to intervene on their behalf and show them what love is they wouldn't be on death row today. It seems so cruel to me to force a life iinto a loveless world that lives with nothing but cruelty and ends up committing a cruelty that gets them on death row only to be aborted from society anyway. These are the lives that are screaming for intervention. I just wish the anti-choice crowd would care as much about the life outside the womb as inside it.
My sister is one of them. So I guess that makes us one for one. Only my nephew is still alive.
Lots?Really? Then why do social workers have such HUGE caseloads? Please compare the percentage of women who get their Masters in anything after having an unplanned baby compared to the percentage of wormen who drop out of high school or college after an unplanned baby. I believe you will then get my point, Reggan.
Lots of people get their masters with out aborting their children.
