Abortion declined

So since my boyfriend found out I was pregnant he was screaming he wasn't ready and wants me to get an abortion. After arguing for weeks about getting an abortion I had heart-to-heart with him and told him this is my body and not doing that, so if he didn't want to be in his child's life this is chance to get out with a free card and I wouldn't hold it against him. Since that talk he said he wants to keep his baby and has been discussing names and has been planning. So I just wanted to let you ladies know if there's anyone that has been in my shoes and your boyfriend keeps mentioning abortion you're the one that's in control your body and you can say no. If they don't grow  up and want to be a father you deserve better and you'll make it on your own own!

Hi there.  Well, abortion IS a good option for some women and they don't regret it one bit.  However, it has to be a woman's decision done for her own needs or reasons to be a good option.  and you don't want one.  

I do think you must consider that your boyfriend does NOT want to be a father.  It is very difficult for couples to maneuver through this and the trend is typically that they break up.  I don't know if this will happen but it is his right to not act in a father role to a baby. It sure does stink though when that happens.  And regardless of his actual physical involvement, I would seek child support from him as that is his duty.

But if you think you are ready for the responsibility of parenthood and are happy to undertake that job, more power to you.  good luck hon
