abort or not ?

Please help!
I just need outside oppions on my matter.
I have just found out i am pregnant (now
only 6 weeks,found out when i was just
3weeks!)
My boyfriend dosent want the baby,but i
do!
He says we arent ready as we dont have our
home etc... but we can afford to move out
and afford this baby! He feels very
strongly about this. I went to the bpas
clinic last week just to discuss my
options and if i decided to have an
abortion everything would be ready for me
and i would just need to make the
appointment! Part of me hoped that once he
had been there with me and seen what i
would have to go through he would not want
to put me throught this,but he still
thinks that we should abort!
Its extreamly hard for me as we have been
together for 4 years for one, but also i
dont want a child to be brought up without
its dad.i was brought up without a dad as
many people are,and i am fine, i have a
great secure job and many friends etc...
but its just a personal choice! and i want
him to be game and he isnt!
I really just want someones oppion on this
just to help me,and to see if there is
anyone else (which i am sure there is)
that has or is going through the same
thing and not having a supportive
partner,if i have the abortion i dont want
to regret doing it,as i am well aware that
i will be living with it and not him!
Please help!
many thanks
Cat

My sister was in a similar situation.
Everyone was pushing for her to abort, but
she never did. She gave her beautiful
daughter to a wonderful couple and is
happy she will be raised by a mom and dad.
If YOU don't want to abort, please don't.
If you THINK you'll regret it, you will.
Yes he helped make it, but you have to
grow it, so it's completely up to you.

IF you do not want to have an abortion,
then do not!
You also must realize that he may leave
you, and you may have to be a single
parent.
You must do what is right for YOU.

Like the others have mentioned, you have
to do what YOU want. Everyone wanted me to
have an abortion. I made the appt. and
everything but on the morning of the appt.
I couldn't do it. Now I'm 30 wks. and
definitely terrifed, but I feel I made the
right choice.
I've had an abortion before. I don't
regret it because that was the best option
at the time. This time things aren't ideal
and some people don't agree with what I'm
doing/done I know I made the best
choices.
You just have to do what you feel is
right.
Adoption is an option and it seems like
it might be a way for both and you and
your boyfriend to get what you want out of
the situation. But once again, do what you
need to do.
I wish you the best!

If you think you are going to regret it...
YOU WILL!!
i had an abortion about 3 and half weeks
ago and it is one of the hardest things i
have ever had to do...
of course im not setting here telling you
what you should do..thats not my place.
but if you want a baby...you will regret
this.
and even if you become a single parent it
wouldnt be horrible...you would still be
able to live a normal life, it would just
have to be modified. a child does not need
a dad...just a father figure...do you have
a dad?? that could be the guy in your
childs life.
anyways all im saying is that i really
regreted it and wish everyday i could go
back and change it...and you will never
realize how it feels until you do it
yourself.
i wish you the best and hope you make the
best choice!!!!!!

You have to live with your decision
FOREVER. Make sure you make the best
choice for YOU. Abortion is not the right
answer all the time.
He may never be game, but it isn't about
what he wants. It's about you; don't let
anyone push you into something you don't
want to do. That's when women regret
their abortions. I had an abortion at six
weeks several years ago, and do not regret
it, but it was my decision and no one
else's. I can understand that many women
wish they had chosen differently.
Best wishes, let us know how it goes!

well,i am booked in to see a consultant on
thursday comming just to talk more about
what i want to do etc... but she did say
that if i want to abort i can have the
pill on the same day!! it scared the hell
out of me to be honest! my boyfriend is
comming around to the idea and hopefully
when we see the consultant thursday he
will be more up for it!
I just dont think that i can put myself
through all that! it sounds like such a
big thing to go through and with me not
being 100% i just dont think that i can do
that to myself!

The abortion pill is more painful than
surgical abortion, I will tell you
that...
FIRST you take one pill, then 2 days later
you take more pills to induce LABOR and
contractions to expel the pregnancy...
It is not simply taking a pill...
The easiest way is Surgical abortion with
IV sedation/Twilight sedation. Planned
Parenthood usually does not offer painless
abortions, so I do not recommend them.

YES, The FIRST pill stops the
pregnancy...
BUT then you have to EXPEL the tissues,
and this is done by inducing labor type
contractions.
I work in abortion, and I am telling you
this because we have many MAD women who
THOUGHT that abortion by pill was
'easier'.
ABORTION by pill is NOT easier than
surgical, it is simply done at home.
I have had 3 abortions, TRUST me, surgical
is MUCH MUCH better.
Find a clinic that has IV SEDATION, it
only takes 3-5 minutes for the abortion,
and it would be painless during IV.

The clinic i am with is bpas! and they are
the uks leading abortion providers as it
were! i am terrified of going under,and
asked them if i could have a local just to
numb the area so i can still be awake,and
they said that if i wanted to do that i
would have to pay over £500 where as the
pill/s and the complete knock out are free
on the brittish NHS!!!
I am impossible stuck at the moment! i
dont want to loose my partner as i really
do love him obviously but i dont really
want to get rid of our baby either!

If you don't 'want to get rid of your
baby' then you must not have an abortion.
What if you have an abortion and then
split up with your partner anyway? He can
not be reason enough for you to have an
abortion.
It sounds to me like you're setting
yourself up for a fall and I would think
very carefully about what YOU want. This
is a decision that has no second chances.

If you have already taken the first pill
then you have to continue or you end up
with one hell of an infection.
Men dont stick around, kids do, I have my
two kids and it is a 18 year contract that
I wanted lol...
Now to the point, you should never do
anything against your will, there will
always be people who can help you,I
believe they would even provide you
housing furniture and clothing etc etc!!
Good luck!

PLEASE do not have an abortion JUST for a
man...
MEN leave, but YOU must live with YOU
forever..
YOU deserve be happy and 100% OKAY with
any abortion choice.
The ONLY reason to have an abortion is
because YOU really feel it is right for
you.
Going under is not a big deal, you just
fall asleep...

know,its just rarrr i dont know! i just
wish i would stand up fpr me for once,and
this is a good as time as any! i will be
talking to a counciller anyho on thrsday
before anything happens! what amazes me is
how easy it is to get an abortion here in
the uk! they just take it really lightly
in the clinics and i dont think women get
asked as much as they should! they/we
should be questioned a little more!

You can stand up, but he may leave...
Many women do stand up, but still decide
on abortion because they do not want to
lose the man.
Abortion is a tough choice for some women,
but it was not for me. I am glad that I
was not questioned constantly..

you know, sometimes when people are faced
with a situation like this they grow to
love the child. many men deny fathering
children or try and push for an abortion,
but then, after 9 months of their child
growing, watching it move and seeing it be
born, something magical happens... they
love thier child. i have known so many men
who swore up and down that they didnt want
kids and that these "crotch droppings" are
nothing more than baggage, suddenly turn
and say that their children are the best
things that ever happend to them. their
are no guarantees with this. if you abort
he still might leave, or you might resent
him enough to leave yourself. if you dont
abort, he might stay and you can have a
happy family, or you can give the child up
for adoption but still be a part of its
life. nothing you do will guarantee
anything, but if you do the best you can,
and make the best decision for you then at
least you will have that knowledge to
yourself. when i lost my first pregnancy
through surgical abortion, i cried for 2
years after and i still regret it. my bf
at the time pushed for abortion but then
would yell horrible things at me like "we
are going to hell" and "why are you
crying?! you deserve to cry!" etc. it was
some of the darkest times in my life and i
always wonder what will become of me in
the after life. will i be persecuted for
taking away its life, or will i be
reunited with my baby? it haunts me
always. i hope you do what is right for
you.
