Hw 35

1. How would your parents feel if you got pregnant?
Susan:My mother would say "What happened? I always told you to keep your legs closed and your eyes open, now your life will be much more difficult" So she would be really disappointed.

Samantha: OMG, they would be in total shock and disappointed.

Catherine: My mom would be upset, but would help me raise the baby, or babies if they were twins or triplets.

2. Does the way society act towards teenage pregnancy upset you?
Susan: No, because I believe young people should have a a social life for as long as possible.

Samantha: No, because we are too young to take care of kids 24/7.

Catherine: I guess it upsets me a little, but it is what it is and I can't really change it.

3. If you could change one thing about the birth process what would it be?
Susan: I would change the whole pain thing.

Samantha:Let the man go through the pregnancy!

Catherine: How long it takes for the process to happen because there are really good medicines that make the pain go away.

4. Would your opinion about birth change if you knew your child had a high risk of having a disability?
Susan: No, every life is worth something.

Samantha:Yes definitely, I would terminate the pregnancy. It would be double the work.

Catherine: Who ever says yes is shallow, I would take care of the baby

5. If your child was born with both organs how would you decide which organ to keep?
Susan: That's a tough one, I would wait until the babies older.

Samantha: OH JESUS, It would have to be which ever one the baby had more of. If it had ovaries then goodbye penis, if it had no ovaries then hello penis.

Catherine: I don't really know, I guess I would wait until the baby got older and see what the baby is more comfortable with.

After looking over my interviewers answers It was obvious that all 3 girls parents would be highly upset and disappointed if there daughter got pregnant. These answers seemed very common and just bubbles, each answer was a sentence or to long, but I'll take some of the blame because the structure of my questions could be at fault. I found it very interesting that when asked if there was a high risk of the baby coming out with a disability would that change your opinion about birth, Samantha said she would automatically have an abortion. I tried to dig deeper and ask her why she was so quick to say she would have an abortion. She just kept repeating it would be to much work and the child wouldn't have a good life. Sam didn't really take time to think about her answer and just regurgitate things to me, if she would have taken a minuet more to think I believe her answer would have had a better explanation to why she would want to abort a baby just because it would have a disability.

When asking about the baby and if it had both organs, I wasn't looking for serious answers but after hearing the answers given they made sense. I would wait till the baby grew older in order to make the decision on which sex the baby should be. I feel like that would be a very difficult decision, what if I picked the wrong sex? Would that make the child gay? Its amazing how a decision that won't affect the child until 7 to 8 years after could cause a life long issue. After surveying people it is easy to say that when having sex you must really make sure your ready for a child regardless of if you have safe sex. Yes this is something most of us are taught once we learn about the birds and the bees but as one gets older it becomes reality and birth is something that changes some one's life forever.
