what are peoples views on abortion? ?

I'm basically asking this because my boyfriend droped the bombshell on me 2 days ago, "I think we should have an abortion"!. I was so gobsmacked because he told me he was sooo excited to have a baby. I asked him why and he wants me to have one because he doesn't work and I'm still studying at College and he's scared he's not going to be able to provide. As much as I think he's right I refuse to go through an abortion, its against my religion and I don't believe in it at all. What do other people think, just need a chat about it really because I'm so scared.

Thanks for saying it right. I agree with you. I said it earlier but they deleted my post.

I don't understand why people keep getting pregnant over and over again when birth control is free or almost free in many states. A guy can promise you anything but in the end he can walk away any time he wants leaving you all alone to take care of the baby. I do understand things can happen even if you're on birth control. Personally I'm glad there are places a woman can go if she chooses. It's not like the old days where women got sick or even died from an abortion.

Abortion is wrong, it's the same as killing somebody. It's a living breathing baby that God created; Life isn't ours to give and take away. You can always put your baby up for adoption, and if you don't want to that, there's plenty of help you can get from different organizations. You don't wanna do something you'll end up regretting.

I just graduated high school and both me and my boyfriend are not working and on government assistance it does get hard at times but in way are we gonna abort our baby. Not because its a religion thing ( we both don't have religions) It is hard to find a job out there but its possible to provide for your baby. Do you have WIC where you live?

I had an abortion at 15. I was alone and still at school. no bf or money. i was still a child myself and my mum did what she thought the right thing was and booked me the abortion and i went along with it. i barely thought about it. i just wanted it to all go away. The day after was probably the worst id ever felt in my life. i felt so guilty and sad at what had happned. but at the end of the day i was not ready for motherhood and im glad i had that option. adoption is a great thing but you have to really be ready to hand your baby away to never see him again.. i could not do that. i would find that so much harder. i dont think lack of money is a good reason to have an abortion. if that was the case then i wouldnt have my daughter and i wouldnt be about to have my son. but it is your choice and noone should tell you what is right or rong only you can decide what is right for you now. Good luck with what you decide and i hope its the best decition for you. x :)
