For the guys only: She Wants to Terminate Pregnancy

I'm pro choice, but there is no way in hell I would Let my unborn child be terminated without a fight! Even if that meant raising the child on my own. I don't think the father has any rights though, does he?

Yes I would feel that my rights were being violated I would never give up a child of mine. I would even offer to raise it on my own.

The tough one would be if it was my wife. That's potentially forcing a choice between my marriage and an unborn child. I don't know on that one.

If it was a girlfriend then I would be inclined to fight for the child. Abortion is wrong. I'm not for criminalizing the procedure, but neither can I find it possible to say that it's a good thing. I am more for looking the other way. I believe that some scenarios (health, rape, known disability) make it okay as I think quality of life is more important than life itself. But once my girlfriend and I hit the bed, this is a possibility. We know it is and I have to be responsible for my own decisions.

I am currently in a place in my life where if I were told that a girl was carrying my child, I would want to do everything in my power to help raise that child so it can have the best possible life. I would be more then willing to take full responsibility for that child. Even if it meant that I was the only parent figure in it's life.

On the other hand I would not Force the issue. I would make my position fully know the the mother of my child. If I trusted her enough to have sex with her then I would hopefully still have the trust in her to make the right decision. after all it is her body and she has finial say in what happens to it.

There are very few circumstances that I feel terminating a child's life is right, such as the mother was raped, the mother has some health issue where it would not be safe for her or the child for her to carry the child to full term or she is addicted to some drug and that addition would be passed on to the child. in those situations I feel it would be better to terminate. However assuming that none of the above listed reasons are present, I can't really think of a reason that It should not be carried out to full term.

Like someone else has said, it took two people to have sex to make that child and I hope that at least one of them is adult enough to at least try and give the child a chance at life.

There may be situations that I can't even start to think of that I may feel it is ok to terminate that I have not listed above. I guess what I am saying is that depending on the situation that I may be facing at the time I was told she is carrying my child, I my change my mind, but it would need to be an important reason for me to sway from what I stated above.

I hope this helped answer your question.

I'd be pissed, but It wouldn't be my choice to make. It's not my body. Personally, I would raise the kid no matter what. With her (which would be of course what I would want) or without. I don't judge others on stuff like this, everyone has different lives and situations. But this is what I would do personally.

It depends on where you are in your life. I have been through an abortion because a girlfriend forgot the pill....this is what I was told. And I never asked, I just assumed it was mine, we were no longer living together when this happened. The abortion was a very painful experience for both of us, but largely her.

That said, I believe it is the womans choice, she clearly takes the majority of the responsibility in having a child.

I would not choose to raise a child without being in a loving committed relationship, so I would not opt to keep the child.

That said, as I have gotten a little older, I am very much looking forward to having 2 children with my wife.

I would say, well, if that's what you think is best, then go ahead. Of course, I don't want any children at this point in my life, but I would never also would like to have a child that is not wanted by the mom...

I know plenty of men out there that have said that!! but everyone is different. and a baby changes everything its a very tough thing to deal with having a baby even if it is planned! maybe your not ready to have children yet but you have got to ask yourself can you really live with knowing what you have done to your unborn baby.. and what if in later life that's all you want is a baby and you can't have it you will hate yourself for terminating your pregnancy.your pregnant for a reason!!and a lot of guys do put there foot down and say no that's my child and not even bother with the child when its born!
