By all means, go for it.
I wonder how many men that coerce women into going through with pregnancy would then immediately change their minds if this was brought up.

It's easy for them to want the woman to stay pregnant when they don't have to deal with ANY of the negatives.

Orly? I thought it was upwards of 30k.

All told, I reckon the baby will cost him about $100,000 before it is born. Then there is the rearing of it, and the college education...

The law says she can do what she wants, so there's nothing you can do about that. However, I'd say goodbye to her. I wouldn't want to marry a woman or even have a close friend that would kill their own child and is OK with it.

More than likely, you do.

I believe statistically 1 in 4 women have an abortion at some point in their life.

I have 3 friends who have had abortions, I knew about 1 but the other 2? I NEVER in a million years would have guessed, especially considering one is a married conservative evangelical Christian.

Jet. That's sad, especially the "conservative Christian." That just goes to show how many hypocrites are in church on Sunday. I would have also suggested that if he didn't want her to have the abortion, he should have also offered to take full responsibility for the child, and even marry the woman, if they both want to.

Don't forget the club med vacation plus a new house for doing him the favor.

I'm against abortion for the record.

Marriage would be a REALLY bad idea considering they've known each other a month and what would it change? Having a piece of paper changes absolutely NOTHING.

Taking full responsibility for the potential kid would be a bit better, but that doesn't change the fact that the woman is going to have to live with the physical aftermath for the rest of her life. My friends Mom broke her pelvis during childbirth and has had to use a cane since she was in her early 20s. She very openly states she regrets having children.

You simply cannot force a woman to go through a pregnancy, nor can you force your morals on another person. Personally, if I were in this predicament I'd absolutely get an abortion no questions asked.

This is brilliant!

In fact, every woman dealing with a man who wants to coerce her into carrying an unwanted pregnancy to term should present him with this option. We'd see how fast a lot of those guys suddenly see abortion as a good idea.

If you two didn't want a baby, you should have kept your zipper up and she should have kept her legs closed. I don't understand what is so surprising about her pregnancy. If a man and woman are fertile and having unprotected sex, the woman WILL get pregnant. Women don't get pregnant out of thin air. It isn't rocket science.

Unfortunately, if she decides to go through with the abortion, an innocent child will be killed for their "mistake". Adoption would be the best option.
