Pregnancy Info HOME

Must agree with Med Student.. isn't the "Best Age to get Pregnant" the BEST forum to have this kind of discussion in? I mean, isn't abortion all about not being ready for pregnancy? Isn't it about NOT being at the "best age" for you? Wether you are pro-life or pro-choice, this kind of discussion NEEDS to happen, and happen, and what better place then here?

I was reading these threads in order from newest to oldest, and I can think of a better place for the abortion tirade. It's own! I agree with me too. The abortion argument ruling this forum is obnoxious. I'm 10 weeks pregnant, and I don't want to see it for lots of reasons I won't go into here. I may just contact the people who run this page myself and ask that it gets its own Q&A position. It obviously garners enough attention to fill a book. I'm not telling it to go away. I'm asking for it to not be right here in my face when it's especially inconsiderate and a__suming. Sure I could just not click on it, but I'd rather just not see it here at all. It's a very touchy subject with a lot of pregnant women, and why can't that just be respected?

In order to corral the abortion issue to it's own Q&A section you will have to corral all the posters on other threads as well. Perhaps you should get started. All these other posters will, of course, appreciate being told that if they have a question or comment to any thread involving something other than just pregnancy they will have to go elsewhere. How about the girl who had a D&C because the fetus died and was afraid that she had an actual abortion? Should she only ask people who aren't pregnant and want to speak their minds? Or could she ask and actual pregnant person? What about the girl that is thinking of having an abortion and wants feedback from others who are experiencing pregnancy or who already have children? How do you plan to keep them out?

It seems you don't understand. There are many different forums for pregnant women on this website... one for new dads, one for each trimester, one for teen pregnancy, one for loss, etc. This would just be another subject that any person, pregnant or not, who's actually INTERESTED & NOT ANNOYED or who feels personally intruded upon in a forum where he/she was not expecting to run into this controversial topic that may be quite upsetting... a place where they could click on if they wanted to instead of being tricked or imposed upon in this fashion. It's almost comical how you're going on in opposition to a simple SUGGESTION that isn't trying to burn books at all... just defend & have respected personal space & sanity with a little bump. Sheesh.

Ok, here's my next question,since I don't understand. If being "tricked" by the heading is such a problem, why not just back out once you read the question? I still don't understand (guess you're right) why it is so imperative for the "sensitive people" to read things that bother them. I don't understand why it can't be avoided or skipped. Most of the thread t_tles are all of 5 words long. Is five words enough to get upset over?

This forum, "Best Age to get Pregnant" IS FOR DISCUSSION on when the best age to be pregnant is.. and abortion is a huge part of that! If you are already pregnant, why are you on here in the first place? You can't take it back, so unless you are considering abortion, there is no reason for you to be in this forum at all anyway.

What's so hard for you to understand? I, as well, am annoyed by the abortion posts. It looks like the only people in favor of them posting to this thread are the same ones who start the sh*t in the first place, so no problem for me to understand why there is an argument over a request that most here seem to favor.

Actually, I think most of the abortion threads have been started by anti-abortion people.

I agree.

There are a lot of women who find themselves pregnant and don't want to be and don't know what to do. These women deserve as much respect as women who are pregnant and fully intend to keep their babies. It should not bother other women if they are happy with their pregnancies. (After all, it is not about you). Personally, I am ttc, but it would be awfully SELFISH of me to disregard what another woman is going through. Due to the fact that ONLY pregnant women get abortions, I think it is a very important topic in a pregnancy forum. How some posters are choosing to handle it is another matter entirely.

to all who seem to be giving the poster a lashing , although I know the poster can't stand me and likes to make it clear everytime I come to this forum I really agree with her and she probably posted this because of a thread started by myself but nonetheless she's right about the appropriate place to speak your topic.

Hmmm, thanks for your understanding & respect. I didn't know it'd be so difficult with some, so I appreciate it.
