For the girls only: Terminating Pregnancy

This is an intriguing question and I see that you noted that it's not your scenario.

Keep in mind that "Roe v. Wade" does not establish a right to have an abortion. What it establishes is an umbrella of privacy, under which acts can be performed that are purely "personal." If the boyfriend or husband requests an injunction barring the pregnancy being terminated, it is very likely that will be issued. If one were to then terminate the pregnancy, criminal charges would follow and jail time would be next.

Personally I would have a hard time with this, since you can't argue that the child wouldn't be cared for or is unwanted if someone wants him/her. That leaves just me and my choice, one of which got me in this scenario to begin with. I'd have to accept responsibility for my own decisions and carry the child.

As I've stated somewhere else, it takes 2 to tango. But it's still my body and my decisions... And even though the father might say he wants it, and will raise, the child will be missing a mother-figure - and that will haunt me, because I will not at this point be ready for that responsibility... Sad, but true. Which is why "Always remember protection!!"

Considering terminating your pregnancy should be the last thing on your mind. If you were in your teens or were raped or lived off the streets then maybe you can take it into consideration. Your significant other does have a right in this. I know its your body and you have the right to make the decision.If you are not ready to be a mother consider adoption. Or have the father raise the child. Once you decide to terminate a pregnancy you can not go back. I have two children and we are about the same age and yes I am raising them on my own but it is worth it. Think about it. Good Luck

For me, personally I would never ever get an abortion.

BUT, in this case if I was I would definitely take in to consideration what the man thinks about the idea of the child.

Yes, its my body, but I'm not the only one the participated into making the baby.
it takes two to tango.

To be honest I would take the guy into account but I wouldn't have the baby just because of him it would have to be a decision I wanted to put myself in and if I'm not ready for kids I'm not ready the father aint goin to change my mind! Because at the end of the day I'm the one carrying it for 9 months, giving birth and looking after it most of the time!!
