Q: Pregnant But...
asked by: greeneyes33 on June 22nd, 2006

The father wants me to get an abortion.

I am completely against abortions and I would like to have this child.

What should I do to convince him? He won't listen to me when I tell him I will not change my mind about having an abortion.

you need to dump his a$$!!!!! Any man who asks you to get an abortion does not in no way love you and he never will! I suggest you keep the child and move on...Its not easy but its worth it! Dump his sorry a$$!

honestly,there is nothing you can say to him.Some people are ready,some aren't.Obviously you have already made your decision(good for you not letting him tell you what to do!!!) and he will just have to get over it.He participated in the making of the baby so he can either be with you and the child or not be with you and ay child support.Some guys want an abortion but when the baby is born and they see what they helped make,that all goes away!Either way,good luck with everything.How far along are you?

All I can say is .N.E.V.E.R get an abortion for someone else. You will regret it.

If you really want this baby and he doesn;t then it is really your body-your decision. He may come around after.

If he wasn't prepared to be a father, he shouldn't have helped to create a baby. He should have thought about that before. If you want this baby, that's all that matters. He has two choices: either get over the fact that he got you pregnant and step up to the plate, or resign himself to the reality of paying child support when the little one is born.

The funny thing about some people (men and women both)... They don't consider the consequences of their actions until the consequences happen... And then they want an easy way out of it because they "weren't ready". It's a hard lesson to learn for some people, but that's life for you. Congratulations on your pregnancy, sweetie, and don't stress about convincing your man. He'll either come around on his own, or he won't. Either way, he has a responsibility to you and your unborn child.

I'd have to tell you to tell him that your having this baby because of your beliefs and that you want to keep the baby. There is nothing he can do to convince you otherwise. Also tell him that once the baby is born he can choose to be a part of it's life or you are going to go after him for .C.S. And that's the end of the duscussion.

yah sorry ..Very elementary! This is real life not teenage puppy love...See if he can live without you doesnt get revealed in a feww days!!! The real way is to speak to him face to face and say "you in or you out?" "if youre in good everyone wins and pay up and if youre out, pay up buddy and stay out!!!!!" this girl doesnt have time to be chasing around a man who asks to kill his own child...Be real , be mature and do whats best for you...Not him!!!!!!

you're totally wrong about that. My husband told me to get an abortion or he'd leave me. He was only my boyfriend at the time, but I told him I wasn't going to and obviously he didn't leave me. And he does love me very much. He regrets every telling to that.
