Seriously disturbing ('homemade abortion??')
(Note: The 'methods' (if they can be called that) discussed in this thread are UNSAFE and in NO WAY CONDONED on this board.)
Hey guys,
I was talking to my sister (15, sophomore in high school) and we were talking about how some of her friends are sleeping around and she casually mentioned something that completely freaked me out. (And to everyone who's reading, parent or not, be warned that this did indeed freak me out and might be seen as slightly disturbing, so be cautious about continuing if you're easily upset.)
She mentioned that she couldn't believe that one of her friends slept with this guy bcause he slept around so much. She continued, so casually like she was discussing the weather, "yeah, he had to step on this girl's stomach because he got her pregnant a few months ago." I did a serious double take. My expression had to be completely horrified because she kind of looked at me funny. She was like, "what?"
I stared at her and was basically like "WTF? Step on her stomach?"
"Yeah, everyone does it," she replied. "It's better than, like, getting a $300 abortion."
Seriously. WTF? I couldn't believe what I was hearing. Apparantly this is commonplace (according to my sister) among high schoolers, at least in her school. "But you have to wait until you're like three months along," she helpfully continued, "because there actually has to be something formed there to squish. Otherwise it doesn't do anything."
I'm sorry, am I the only one who's seriously disturbed by this? what the HELL is wrong with this picture?? For me, this is unsettling on several levels. Firstly, that these kids are sleeping around so much that getting pregnant is something commonplace among 15 year olds. (No offence meant to anyone, this is just something I don't think should be treated so casually, like 15 year olds getting pregnant is a part of everyday life.) Secondly, that 'stepping on her stomach' (which is taken quite literally, he stomps on her abdomen or just walks repeatedly over her) is seen as an acceptable way of getting rid of a pregnancy. Thirdly, that "everyone does it." Again I say: What. The. HELL????
Anyways. that was just sort of a rant, because I'm still kind of (what am I saying? I'm SERIOUSLY) upset by all this. Thoughts? Opinions? Anyone else heard of this - am I just horribly sheltered?

OH HELL NO!!! Disturbed... Highly. Not normal. Retarded. THAT should be considered MURDER! The heart beat starts at 20-25 days. After that it's killing a LIVING THING(my opinion). Even before the heartbeat starts that's preventing life and is not safe for the IDIOTIC "MOTHER" either!
*pissed* Leaving...now.

Re: Seriously disturbing ('homemade abortion??')
That's terrible. I'm very disturbed. It's like squishing a baby to death, deliberately. I would never do that. I really hope this isn't true.
I don't understand why some decide to be so free with unprotected sex, when protected sex doesn't cost that much in the first place...And then NOT care that they are pregnant two months into it, as if it were a nuisance...a bug in their body. There's a reason people take pregancy seriously. It is a serious matter. Teens who think this casually about pregnancy shouldn't be doing the deed. They seem to have no understanding of consequences for their actions.

Re: Seriously disturbing ('homemade abortion??')
ok so you all know i have been and continue to be pro-choice but yeah this is quite disgusting...
if you want an abortion, that is why you go to the doctor...regardless of the amount of money it costs, it will be worth it for your body today and tomorrow. Stepping on ones stomach might do the job today to abort the child, but who knows what detrimental effects it will have on the womans body today as well as in the future [both near and far term]

Yes. It could well cause internal bleeding which (if left untreated) could kill. This 'abortion method' may also seriously affect a womans chances of having children in the future.
