if you or your partner got pregnant, could you ever see yourself having an abortion?

If we didn't both want a child then yes - absolutely, emphatically, without a doubt. The world has enough unwanted kids causing problems.

I would encourage my partner to have an abortion, if she was comfortable with doing that. Otherwise I would look into adoption.

i would probably just Man-up and take care of my kid and be as good a father as i could. I couldn't do the abortion thing. I'd feel guilty.

Great on paper, bad in practice - and a mess for society. Why the guilt over making a smart choice?

And it's better to man up, or actually smarten up, beforehand and not get the girl pregnant. It's actually pretty easy to avoid accidental pregnancy with a little effort and planning.

I'm never going to have a kid. I couldn't even raise a batch of sea monkeys in the bathtub, much less a little human being. Plus I have a lot of work to do on myself anyway.

that's a good argument. I prefer to look at the position and the amount choices women in our society have gained since they gained control of their fertility.

go on and on about how cost effective abortion is over the long run: $400 now vs how much is it to bring a child from pregnancy to college? i don't even want to think about that figure. just tell her she'll be much poorer.
say that eventually she'll need a sitter, and that they're expensive and often molest, abuse or neglect the child they're in care of.

then tell her that her social life will be over, and that pregnancy doesn't necessarily mean her guy will stick around.. given he *is* still around.
plus, if they break up, she'll have to choose from the pool of single guys who'll be willing to help raise someone else's kid. that pool can be a polluted one as they often have baggage of their own.

bring up the health risks of pregnancy, and how she'll be in so much discomfort. also, how she'll be out of shape, and how she'll have to work to get back in shape. tell her about the dangers of stretch marks, and how they never go away.

mention that sleeping normally will not be an option for quite awhile, and post pardom depression is a risk. she may kill or even devour her own child if that happens!

finally, tell her the world doesn't need anymore kids, and she's doing the right thing by nixing that little bud.

TELL HER THIS ONE (ABORTION) IS FOR THE GIPPER!!!

or, tell her to call adam's show in the morning, and have him talk her into it.

—adams_babymomma

Would she have some kind of moral objection to it, or is it just something she'd be reluctant to pursue because of how controversial it is? If its the latter then do what plurry said, if its the former then skip the convincing and just go straight for the Falcon Punch.

I'm pretty sure babies have fingernails WAY before 6 months.

Why is everyone so gung-ho against this woman having a baby? She's in her 20s, she's not 15. Is there something about her that I missed that makes her an unfit mother?
