What did you think about Oprah's comment about loosing her baby?

Well, I mean..she was 14. If I were pregnant and 14 and lost the baby, I have to admit I'd be relieved too. Now, at 21, I would be obviously upset. She didn't want to be a teen mom. Good for her. Sorry for the baby she lost, but I don't think it makes her a bad person.

Why should we be up in arms?

Are all women robots programed to react the same way to life experiences, and if some women feel differently or react differently about their experiences, something is wrong with her? Excuse me, but no. That is not reality.

Are you Oprah? No? Then you don't get to decide if she reacted appropriately to the loss of her baby and the circumstances under which that child conceived and died. If, years later, she can look back on her life and say, my life is better because I was not a teen mother - then that is her right.

If I had been her - I would have aborted it. And been glad.

i dont care for talk shows so i knew nothing about it...but i really dont see the big deal. she was a 14 year old child.she didnt need a baby and she realizes it. theres no set rule that says you have to be over joyed when you get pregnant. if i was 14 and pregnant i would be relieved if i didnt end up having it too. (of course i wasnt even thinking about sex at that age either, but still...) whats wrong with knowing she wouldnt be where she is today if she had ended up raising a baby at 14? so shes realistic.......

if its true that the baby was a product of rape, it makes even more sense

I don;t think she was harsh at all. The baby was a child of rape. If I got pregnant and my baby was a rapists child, I would be disgusted that a part of that man was growing inside me. I would have an abortion or place it up for adoption, because frankly I think it's the most selfless thing to do. Plus, she was only fourteen.

Wouldn't you be relieved? I know I would. As long as it's not a self induced abortion because that is just sick and twisted. But if it just happens then it's not meant to be and you shouldn't feel guilty about it since these things happen.

I guess its cos she said she 'lost' the baby rather then 'aborted' it, what she said is harsh though norammyl mothers would be devastated but obviously if she was 14 at the time then she would have been relieved, looking back now though why would she regret it cos shes so successful, if she had the baby maybe she wouldnt have this attitude. I dont know what shes was doin have sex at 14 though that is disgusting, who knows the circumstances though she may have been abused or raped who are we to judge really.

Why? I'm not an Oprah fan, but I think that was an incredibly intelligent thing to say. Do you really think she'd be where she is now if she had to do it as a single mom?

She didn't have an abortion, she lost the baby. And it probably was best.

She was 14 -- the pressure was lifted without her having to make a choice she wasn't prepared to make -- I'm sure it was still devastating (must of been, unless she is a sociopath), but she was 14 -- a relief indeed.

I'm not the religious type, but it was God's way of showing her she wasn't meant to be a mother and now, she has her own TV channel. Do you think she would have gotten so successful with a child at 14?

Sadly, she's actually being applauded for being such a tough woman for hiding the secret.

In reality, I'm so sorry she was sexually abused, but she admits the baby was a product of promiscuity, NOT RAPE. The baby was born prematurely and then died (likely because of utter lack of prenatal care!). So she didn't miscarry, she gave birth and then the baby died. I can't believe she found relief in that.

Well, at least we know that human life is not a price big enough to pay to be the richest woman in America!!
