I am 21, have a full time job, and I am a full time student. My current BF, the father, says I either abort or he is out of my life. I love him so much, but I do not agree with abortions. My father insisted on an abortion to my mother and she refused, while she was pregnant with me. I don't know what to do, I am on the pill, i have been, but my period has been missed by 2 weeks and i took the test and im pregnant. I have quite a ways to go, but he refuses to be with someone with a child, even if it's his own....

No one can tell you what to do... But I'm pretty sure you know in your heart what to do. Good luck.

We are in the same shoes, you can read my question and the responses i have been getting from the good ladies here. They have encouraged me to keep my baby, i am not aborting because i realised even if i do it to please him i will be hurting myself in the end. If he's love for you is not strong enough to stand by you then to hell with him, afterall we will not be the first nor the last sigle mums. Keep your baby, its worth it as long as you can support yourself and the baby when it comes

If you don't agree with abortions, that may be your answer. However, if you don't agree with them because you never really thought about it or for the first time are thinking of it because you are confronted with the reality of being a single mom, that is another.
It all really depends upon your expectations in life. If finishing school is less of a priority for you than keeping your baby, then keep your baby. But if you think it is better to put off motherhood to bring your baby into a more stable situation, abortion is not a bad choice. Whatever you do, don't do it to keep your boyfriend. By giving you an ultimatum, he is not being your friend, and not being realistic, because he really can't hide if you are having his baby. Whatever you decide, do it for you. Doing it for the future of the couple is also an option, but it doesn't sound like that is what you would be doing in this situation. It sounds like you would be doing it to hold on to someone who will eventually leave you anyway.

Tara,I hope what your heart tells you to do is the right thing.I hope you decide not to abort.No man is worth the risk of your life or that babys. When you abort, you risk getting an infection,getting sick, or even dieing.Believe it or not if you search the web enough you will find that there are doctors out there who admitted theyve used a dirty tool to do an abortion atleast once or twice.Do you really think that guy is going to stand by your side when you are feeling lonely and ashamed once the abortion is over with?Do you know what the odds are of him going out and trying to find the next best thing?VERY LIKELY. Honey i cant force you to keep the baby or believe anything im saying but its true.Alot of these women getting abortions think they are making things better and theyll live happily ever after with their man if they just do what he says but then in the end they have no man and a conscience that refuses to let them live down what they've done.Just a word from experience.

Then let him leave. Why would you want to be with someone who would knowingly demand you take the life of his own flesh and blood? If he'd be willing to treat his own child that way, what does that tell you about how he would treat you?
Before considering abortion I suggest two things. One, watch an abortion. There are lots of sights you can go to that will show you recorded abortions. I watched one yesterday and it was the worst thing I'd ever seen. The doctor held the baby's face with his tweezers... the baby was shredded into pieces and the face was what was left. I couldn't help, but cry that someone would choose to do that to an unborn person.
The second thing, consider that you wouldn't be here if your mother had listened to your dad. It's not the baby's fault that it is here; it's yours and the father's. Don't punish it for your decision. Be responsible for your actions. There are always alternatives to abortion - adoption. Give your baby the chance of life that your mother gave you.
