RUDE! Take your hatred somewhere else will you?

Nikki (2/2/2012 8:34:00 PM)

Personally I think she made the most grown up decision for her. We all know people have their own personal opinions whether it's based on faith, background, and morals. I know how hard it is and it was a simple mistake that i ended up pregnant, like her newest one, but as a woman and as a human she does have the choice to make up her mind on having the baby or terminating the pregnancy. I dont think abortion is the right choice for me, but i feel women should have a choice.

Brittany (1/18/2012 9:36:06 AM)

MTV has really surprised me with this beautifully done documentary on such a sensitive and controversial topic! I think they did a great job showing the emotion involved when women are faced with an unplanned pregnancy and the reality that many people choose not to have the baby, and do it with great care, consideration, and heart.

Brittany (1/18/2012 9:21:26 AM)

walk over to the nearest bridge, tie a brick around your ankle, and jump off. no one should be this stupid.

Erin (1/12/2012 3:50:56 PM)

keep your damn legs closed or be responsible. no one should have an abortion

Deliah (1/8/2012 7:49:24 PM)

I think that you shouldn't be so quick to judge someone elses decision adoption is an option but not necessarily the best. No one thinks of how the adopted child will take it when he or she finds out that they were adopted so I will tell you how I felt. I HATED AND STILL HATE my biological mother I was tortured and mistreated as a child but the so called adopted parents. I don't see how anyone can carry a child and give it up so freely no one will ever treat your child as you would.

Amanda (11/12/2011 1:48:20 PM)

Exactly.

Hanna (11/11/2011 12:15:41 PM)

I'm just about to start this episode, but not entirely sure I want to. Abortion is never the answer. If you don't want children or any more, don't have sex. We all know that birth control is not 100% reliable. So instead of giving birth to a child and giving it up for adoption, you kill it? Not right at all.

arod323 (9/23/2011 4:26:42 PM)

I agree with Heather. I too have had an abortion recently, I am a mother of 3 and was pretty much forced into having this abortion because my husband did not want another child. He has never truly let me forget that he originally did not want our first born but because I wanted her he put up with it. He loves our kids to death now but when I found out I was pregnant made sure I knew there was no way he wanted to keep it. I did it out of guilt and the feeling as if I owed him. I have never in my life experienced the type of emotional pain I am going thru now. My relationship with him is not the same, I resent him almost to the point where I hate him. I feel like I failed my unborn baby and my other children as a mother. I prided myself of what a great mom I was to my other children and the love I have for them and that has been stripped away. So much gets discussed when it comes to abortion but the emotional effect some women have is not discussed enough. All I think about now is wishing I could go back and not do it. I cant see a baby without crying. My life has been turned upside down. I would strongly recommend women not to do this and really look at your options because this is one decision you can never take back or replace. I'll never get to hold my baby, kiss my baby, see how that baby would have changed my life like all my other kids did. I truly am a reck and would never wish this type of pain and hurt on anyone.

BeautifulBabyGirl_ (9/8/2011 12:18:25 PM)

I cant say I agree with her choice for abortion. She said she had no other choice but to be honest she did. She really did. Adoption is such a better alternative and at least the baby is alive!

Vanessa4life (8/11/2011 7:24:38 PM)

I know all to well the position this young women and man were in. I went ahead just like she did. And I feel and see that she still feels EXACTLY how I feel 4 yrs later. The only difference is, I REGRET my abortion. For all we know she does too but feels it needs to be justified to feel less burdened by the guilt. One day my children will learn that I aborted their sibling and they will realize that it could have been them. They might feel that it is their fault because all I was trying to do is protect them and it was at the expense of their sibling. A parenting choice is not a process of elimination of child in order to parent another child better. It is an excuse to justify the means to an end......the end of a life. But one will see that no matter how hard one tries, it will never ease the pain of abortion. It will follow you a lot longer and burden you more then any child ever would. I know the despair that one must feel to get to the point of deciding abortion but the despair of knowing you had a hand in killing your child will always eat at the part of your heart that loved that child. This couple has a harder road ahead of them then they realize. The other women who said she was "proud" of her decision and yet cries at the same time, tells me different;y. Not all women do regret abortion yes, but like Markai said, anyone with a heart will hurt from this decision. I am sure I can say with certainty that (most) women don't regret keeping their child while many will regret their abortion.

HI I HAVE A 11 WEEK OLD BABY I AM 23 YEARS OLD I HAVE TO SAY I DON'T BELIEVE IN ABORTION I BELIEVE ITS A SELFISH DECISION I MEAN IF YOU LIE DOWN N SPREAD YOUR LEGS THEN YOU NEED TO EITHER RAISE THE CHILD YOURSELF OR PUT IT UP FOR ADOPTION TO KILL THE BABY IS SELFISH AND HEARTLESS I UNDERSTAND THAT SHE FELT LIKE SHE COULDN'T SUPPORT ANOTHER CHILD BUT SHE SHOULD HAVE GIVEN THE CHILD A CHANCE AT LIFE WITH A FINACIALLY STABLE FAMILY

Rowan Hawk McDonald (6/30/2011 3:49:57 PM)

I'd like everyone to remember this, our planet is 2 billion over what it can sustain comfortably. So i dont think you should all be concerned with someone else's decision, and rather worry about our dying, overpopulated planet.

Rowan Hawk McDonald (6/30/2011 3:46:25 PM)

I think she;ll understand that to afford food for her, clothes, ect., that they had to sacrifice a little brother/sister for her. they'll tell her they weighed the options with mostly her in mind and thats what they came to. my mom had 4 abortions and i sometimes think about what if they were all born but we're poor as it is, i couldnt imagine my mother raising/supporting 7 kids. i'll never know when or why she had 4 but i know she probably thought about it really hard and made the best choice for everyone.

jhenel97 (6/24/2011 9:47:26 AM)

Until you have to make the decision about having an abortion you don't know and shouldn't talk. I had an abortion after I had my 2nd child, he was 2 years old my oldest daughter was 7 years old. I was on the pill and taking anitbiotics for a UTI and my BC failed, I had to make that decison to have an abortion because I did not plan, want, or could take care of 3 children at that time. It was the best decision I EVER made. When the procedure was over I was relieved, no depression, no sadness. I was "put under" during the procedure and felt nothing. So until it happens to you and you have to make that decision people should not talk.

Heather (6/24/2011 8:27:46 AM)

i relate to this personally i am one of those one in three women, and after reading some of the comments below, i think in response to the comment about it being a parenting decision...you cant say its not a baby but that you made a parenting decision..it just doesnt add up. And in my experience I dealt with severe grief and depression afterwards and i think that could of been discussed a bit more. Lastly Markai had said she was put under for the procedure which to my knowledge is very rare, i think she would of felt ALOT differently if she had to feel the intense pain of what she was doing to her body. Since then i've had a child and the pain of birth is in no comparison the wrenching pains of abortion

jerseyshorelover (6/23/2011 4:15:04 AM)

I personally do not support abortion but I do respect her decision and I respect her for making her decision based on her child more so then her personal feelings.

leilani (6/22/2011 1:47:40 AM)

Abortion aka Murder. That precious life had a heartbeat. You'll never be able to forgive yourselves. This makes me sick...it's just the easy way out. Get on birth control!! There are so many women out there that have a hard time getting pregnant, and here's these teenagers pooping babies out left and right or killing them. Makes me sick, I would never commend anyone for killing a human being a precious child!!!

Rebecca Juarez (6/20/2011 3:32:59 AM)

i really commend her for her decision. she didn't do it for any selfish reasons. she did it for the right reason. they knew they couldn't afford to have another child & didn't want their child(ren) to suffer or go through any unnecessary hardships. as a mother of 3 kids i know first hand how hard it is. i was a teen mom (17yr first child, married 2wk before 18bday & had second child @ 19yr) & had very little support. i think they are trying the best they can to give their daughter a happy life. it's not right for people to judge them for their decisions. you're not living their lives & haven't been through what they may have been through. we each walk our own path in life. what may be right for one person may not be right for another. she was very brave to not only go through with it but to allow it to be documented for all to see. keep your head up mama <3

Amanda (6/20/2011 12:01:20 AM)

"So many women can't have babies". I'm so sick of hearing this arguement. She (and every other woman) is not a breeder for other people.
