CAN you do it ALL ALONE?
Obviously he has no problem leaving past g/f's, do you feel like you can raise a baby by yourself if he leaves you.
Your mother obviously knows that SHE would be the one you go to for help, but perhaps she 'chooses' to not want to help you .. |
I have already had an abortion. My boyfriend was with the mother of his children for eight years. We met and things went from there. He was actually married and took him a long time to leave so he didn't just walk out on a girlfriend. He also has custody of his kids allowing their mother to see them every other weekend. I am in college and have been in college since I graduated highschool. It's not going to be easy and my mom just doesn't like my boyfriend because I'm 20 and he has been married before with kids. I feel as though I knew what I was doing when I had sex.. I don't believe in using birth control as a contraceptive and having 3 of them just because I'm not ready to have a child. I have a friend who had a child and had to drop out of high school, but she went back to school and then got a degree and literally did it by herself. I am not worried about being alone I am worried about having my first kid and my boyfriend showing all three attention and dealing with his kids jealousy now once a baby comes and I want my families support. I don't see why she would want me to abort a child that I am having with someone I love. |

I am happily married, and I have had 3 abortions due to birth control failure.
BEING in love is just one step of the equation, and only YOU know if you are ready to have a baby.
If you are ready, then you should not let anyone pressure you into an abortion. |

| Be prepared to raise the child on your own and as a former single parent (and one at 17 at that) I will be the first to tell you that it is hard work. However it is possible, and the lasting effects can be extremely rewarding. I have a wonderful 14 year old now and no matter what the hard times have brought, its all been worthwhile. |

| I suppose at the end of the day the easiest thing to look at is this. While yes abortion is a choice that is hard it is infinatly cheaper than having to raise a child and far less stressfull on a person mentally than giving birth to an unwanted baby. |
