Abortion
My boyfriend really wants an abortion he has his reasons but what do I do?

Sadly though, Stacey, if they made a child together and she decides to keep it, then they are forever tied to one another. Whether he waffled on the idea of being a dad or not--- if she has the baby, he is. And the child will want to know him.
luck to the poster.

The decision should be mainly yours since it is your body. Weigh your options well. You can keep the pregnancy and give the baby for adoption. But definitely ditch your boyfriend.

Hi there and welcome to the woman's choice forum. Well, how do you feel about being pregnant? I think your boyfriend s clearly indicating he does NOT want to be a father or raise a child. That means that while you may be able to get some child support (based on what kind of income he makes)--- he may choose to not be involved at all with the baby. That is most unfortunate and sad should you choose to keep the baby.
So, you need to really think about your choices. And gosh, are we lucky to have choices. The one he is wanting is abortion. This can be a good solution when a baby is not really wanted or if a couple is not ready to have a baby and the woman doesn't want to go through the pregnancy. Abortions are fairly easy, simple procedures and based on income can be very low cost or even free. You would need someone to drive you and bring you home and rest for about a day. Women go on to have healthy babies after abortions when the time is right while being able to continue their normal life until that time. Can be a great option for some.
then there is adoption to consider. This can be a beautiful choice for all involved. A couple who wants a baby and isn't able to have one gets that gift from you. They are usually couples that are in a position to be able to adequately care for all the baby's needs and it is such a blessing for them. And they have open adoptions now that would allow you to have contact with the adoptive parents and even the child. But, you'd have to carry the baby to term. Then when you are ready, you can start your own family.
And last, you can keep the baby on your own. This takes a good amount of dedication and planning and sacrifice, but it can be done and plenty do it. You just need to realistically plan things out like where you and the baby will live, how you will support the two of you, who will watch the baby while you work, if you are willing to give up your free time to be with baby, etc. It can work but it is important to be realistic and prepared.
Wishing you all the best in your decision and we are here any time you need us.

hi.. you might wanna consider other options hun.. like adoption or keeping the baby and taking care of it.. there has been alot that i heard that had an abortion and they regret it..your boyfriend cant decide for you because you are the mother and the person carrying the child.. a baby is a blessing.. you never even know if you'd still be given a chance to have that kind of blessing if you let that go.. think of it a million times.. theres other people wanting to have kids yet they cant.. try to pray about it..you might wanna look for friends or family whom you can talk to about it..
Do what you want. The real question Isn't if you want an abortion too. It's if you are willing to be the mom your baby needs and are you prepared to do it on your own if he is persistent on not being involved. Good luck Hun.
ADOPTION
Do what YOU feel is right. Don't just get an abortion because your boyfriend wants you to. This is your child. I'm not going to sit here and say its wrong because I've had two but you should really weigh your options. Can you afford this child? Do you have support? Do you have child care planned for when you return to work/school? Think about all the things before you go and do what your boyfriend wants you to.
Do YOU want an abortion?
Oh gawd too early.. do whatever is best for you and your baby. Have you considered adoption
