I am personally pro life but...

I sound like a fucking hypocrite. I might have to make a choice here pretty soon. I feel like shit absolute trash. I had my son 7 weeks ago he is fine but his daddy and I were doing the deed and the condom popped. I took plan b but I dont think it worked because I threw up right after taking it. I dont want to have an abortion if I am pregnant but I have no other choice. We can hardly afford the baby we have. I am just laying here crying. I dont want to my husband said if I dont he will leave me and that it's all my fault if I am pregnant again because I wanted to have sex. Normally I am really good at problem solving but this is one of those things that I just cant but I have to

People are always "pro-life" until it becomes pro-forced birth for themselves. Do what is right for yourself and your family. If you can't afford another baby that is an absolutely valid reason to have an abortion and there's nothing shameful about it. When it comes down to it, and abortion is a valid medical procedure that is a a private decision between yourself and your doctor. I wish you the best of luck with whatever decision you decide to make.

You should do what YOU think is the right decision. If your husband doesn’t like that decision and he chooses to leave, then it’s a good riddance. It’s not his choice to make.

I see this time and time again. Most (not everyone) who has a pro life agenda have never had an abortion themselves or have ever been faced with the terror of being pregnant and not feeling secure about it. I would take this situation as a learning curve to hopefully change your way of thinking and be pro choice. You already sound pro choice even by considering abortion. You are feeling what thousands of women feel like daily, especially after being guilt tripped about even considering an abortion. They need empathy and support. To answer your question though, you should really do what you think is best. If you don't want to be pregnant, you're not wrong for having an abortion. If you really don't want to do terminate, you can go through with adoption. The wonderful thing about this group is we don't push one or another, if you don't want to have an abortion, we aren't going to guilt trip you into one. Sorry for using this opportunity as sort of a soapbox. I just felt like it needed to be said. All I am saying is you have this group's support with whatever you decide. Sounds like you are scared and really want to have an abortion but you have conflicting morals. If I were in your shoes, I would have the abortion but there really isn't a one size fits all answer

It’s ok to take Plan B again if its still within a week of sex - or even within 2 weeks it won’t hurt . But if you weren’t ovulating you can’t get prego anyway. Early abortions are no big deal. It might seem dreadful and scary but the procedure when done early literally takes 5 seconds. Literally. There’s not a lot of blood and if you take a painkiller you’ll barely feel it. The sooner the better if you’re going to end a pregnancy. It chances are you’re not even pregnant. Just make your plan just Incase. You can be pro- life without being against abortion ! You an be pro what’s best for your family and the very real baby you actually have and that really needs you right now. Good luck.

Well, lets start off with saying your husband sounds like complete trash. Okay, now thats over... The chances of you getting pregnant is slim, but likely. You have to decide what you want to do with your choices. Abortion is not wrong, but if your morally against it, it wilk haunt you. Please note, a true man is supportive. And in the end, yoy choose what is right for your existing family. I would go to a PP and tell them your situation. They can council you on which option you WANT. You are the only one with this choice. Much love, and I hope your husband grows a pair and realizes this us equally his responsibility (if not more so since he clearly doesnt know how to wewr a condom). Im 12 years with one man and no broken condoms, ever

There’s a difference between being pro life and just not wanting to have an abortion yourself if ur truly “ anti choice” then this is ironic

Everyone is pro-life until they are in the situation…then they become pro-choice because they understand.

After birth, usually you aren’t very fertile. The myth of this “you’re very fertile after birth” is pure garbage. Have you had a period yet? Even if you have, ovulation isn’t for sure. That being said, It’s totally okay to feel that way and I think you’re being mature and smart to realize what you can and can’t afford/ handle. I had an abortion 2 years ago when my son was young and I have zero regrets as I was not in a place to support a new baby

Head to abortion support, people there will give you advice on all your options.I’m sorry you’re going through this.There is nothing wrong with having an abortion because you’re worried about finances. You need to do what’s bets for you and yours. 💙💙
