abortion ? when is it okay.

Question

I recently found out I was pregnant. I am a strong believer that abortion is not the way to go. But my boyfriend doesn't want the baby. He says he'll support me in anything I decide but it's clear he doesn't want it. Also he told me. I want the baby. I am only 20 and living at home but I never thought that at only 5 weeks I'd want something so much I didn't wanna let go. Is it okay to have an abortion for someone else and because of the fear of life getting rough or what..?

What are your thoughts on abortion .. and what should I do. I need advice.

Also I haven't told my mom or anyone so I'm like freaking out idk what to do

Answer

Individually I'm pro-life. As a nurse I'm a patient advocate so it's your choice. Very gray area. That being said, since you asked: no. That is not a good reason to have an abortion. Just because life might get ore difficult and it's an inconvenience? Then I'm sorry, you both should have been more careful about contraception. You both made your choices. Here is the consequence. Not fair to the baby to just get rid of it because one of you doesn't want to deal with it and the other doesn't want to make someone mad. Not a good enough reason.

Answer

I think u answered your own question.  Have your baby. Think about it. You're already a mom. You know what to do.

Answer

It's okay when you are comfortable with the decision as your best option given all the circumstances that only YOU fully know. You know how much support you have or don't have. You know best how you might feel if you decide to carry the baby, give birth to it, and then adopt it out to someone else. You know best how it might feel if you terminate it so you can continue with whatever plans you had for your life.

It's your choice, whatever everyone else here says. They've responded to a post and will probably forget in a few days, but what you decide is having a huge impact on how you live the rest of your life, and only YOU can make that decision.

I honestly don't know what I would do in your position, but I fully support whatever choice you make. That's why I'm pro CHOICE. Your life matters more than the bunch of cells growing inside you.

Answer

You want to keep baby and that's good. I'm pro life so my advice is don't have an abortion because your boyfriend wants you to have it. I think you should keep the baby. You're 20, so not a teenager, even though you're still at home you can make it work if you really want to.

Answer

Abortion is okay whenever a woman feels like having one. It's what the option is there for.

Answer

Don't have an abortion for anyone but yourself. I'm very pro choice but if you're not comfortable with it then do not get an abortion.

Answer

I am pro-life but because it is something you have to face because your circumstance, I would say don't do it for him. You will probably resent him as well as yourself. If your going to do it, do it because it's YOUR CHOICE not influenced by anything or anyone. Praying for your strength in whatever decision you choose 🙏🏽

Answer

If you do this for someone else you may regret it.  You already said you want this baby. There is a chance you will come to resent your boyfriend in the future for making you feel like you had to abort the baby. Good luck deciding what is best for you.

Answer

I wouldn't personally ever have one unless I was in danger, baby was in danger, etc. but I think you need to decide what to do, don't get an abortion just because he doesn't want the baby. If you want it I'm sure you'll be able to get through it without him. Good luck!

Answer

This is such a personal decision. I had an abortion with the support of my husband a couple of years ago. I know someone who had one because the person they were dating/hooking up with was a POS. While she was able to bring the child into the world, knowing that the guy was abusive and a jerk it was a no-brainer for HER. You have to think of the consequences of having a child from someone who isn't wanting the child and could leave you eventually. Also, are you financially ready to make that commitment? Can you take care of yourself and this child? Depending on how far along you are it should be a consideration. PM if you'd like to chat. Hugs.
