Abortion ??????

You definitely have the right to keep the baby. Under no circumstances a woman should abort. It's not the baby's fault whatever it's parents did. And it's as bad (if not worse) as murder. She has rights over her own body, yes. But she has NO rights over someone else's. And although the baby is IN her body, is NOT her place to claim it's life. Unfortunately the laws state otherwise. My advice? Do what you feel in your heart is the correct thing.

Oh boy, you have found yourself in a very sticky situation. Depending on the laws in your state, the final decision will more than likely be up to her. If she opened the discussion with you about options, she needed to be prepared for whatever you had to say, positive or negative. I do not think you were childish or disrespectful of her wishes because you stated that you would like to keep the baby. You have an emotional part in this, too. There is always the option of you raising the baby if she doesn't want constant care of another child. Unless it is too late, try again to talk to her; without badgering. Believe me, she feels bad enough about this to start with.

i think that it should be both parents decision when it comes to abortion.if she didnt want the baby and you did she should have just given it to you.its very selfish of someone to abort when they know full well that the baby is wanted.dont get me wrong however i do feel abortion is the right a women has but i dont understand how a women could do it when someone wants the baby.youre not a bad person for wanting her to keep it.it was your child too and you should have that right.

Sure, you have the right to voice your feelings, but unfortunately the final choice is hers. She may or may not let your emotions change her mind, but with 2 other children to care, she may feel you have lesser input, even though you are the father. Good luck, I'm sure you are feeling very stressed. But unplanned parent-hood at 31 and 32 shouldn't happen!

you could tell her that you would like to raise the baby ( would you be happy to do so alone?) try explaining to her that you want to be a dad and would take full responsibility for the bub - if that is what you want. I think you definitely have an input in the decision and I hope you can work something out but in the long run it is her body and she can do what she wants with it.. I wish you luck ..

As she is not a minor and you are not her guardian you can't make the choice for her, either way you choose. Whatever she decides is what you are stuck with. And if you want her to have the baby, why did you break up with her because she got pregnant??? Something is missing from your question. Either way, you are too late - its HER decision now, in part because you are not married, and even if you were you still can't force her to have an abortion, and I don't think anyone should be able to force anybody to have an abortion if they don't want to get one.

You need to do whatever you can to protect your son or daughter. Tell your girlfriend that you love her and love the baby and are going to be there to take care of them. If you are wavering on this, you need to take a look at:

you need two people to have a child and you need love from a mum and the dad i belive in if its ment to be it will be now she must not be the mother of you kids and that could be a good thing. Now you can go out and find the right one men dont have a time on having kids the women do find a yonger girl

I have two answers to that. First, I'll give you the libertarian answer that I used to believe. Next, I'll give you the nationalist answer that I believe now.

Libertarian says: Your girlfriend has the sole decision on whether to abort or to keep the baby. It's her body that will be stressed and used as a survival device by the unborn baby, not yours. Her right to abort or to keep derives from her right to the full enjoyment of her own property, namely, her body. However, should she decide to keep the baby, you should not have to pay child support.

Child support denies to men the right to the full enjoyment of their property because they are required to labor (with their bodies) while being denied the reward for that labor (it goes to someone else). This is very similar to the case in which a woman is required to labor (with her body) against her will (denied abortion) so that someone else (the unborn baby) can gain thereby.

In our morally flawed world, the woman has her just property rights in relation to her body. However, men are denied those same rights because feminists have gained influence over the legislative process, and to feminists the rights of men are not important.

In a better world, a woman would still have the right to choose whether to abort or to keep to baby; however, she would have to make her choice knowing that the man who made her pregnant also has his choice. She would know that any child support coming from him would be voluntary; it could only be requested, not demanded. She'd know that he would have to be met as an equal in the negotiations thereto, because she would have no recourse to coercive government action to compel him to give her anything.

That was my libertarian answer. Here's my nationalist answer.

Moral systems exist to help their practitioner's survive. And not only is their aim the survival of the individual, but also, and primarily, the purpose of a moral system is to secure the survival of the group (the religious community or the nation) that practices it. Moral systems that do not make the survival of their practitioners their Prime Objective tend to die out, sometimes carrying whole nations into the grave with them.

Quality in biological organisms is transmitted through time by the replication of genes that occurs during reproduction, and parents tend to have children much like themselves. Like comes from like. That's not just true for skin color, but also for strength, intelligence, dexterity, and other important attributes.

We live in a unique time when man has been busily pulling fossil fuels out of the ground and putting them to use. Among these uses have been chemical, surgical, and mechanical compensations for hereditary defects in humans. We've become accustomed to being "propped up" artificially, having our shortcomings made good through such things as backhoes, computers, eyeglasses, hearing aids, pharmaceuticals, and automated factories.

When this abundance of extrasomatic energy becomes depleted, the artificial props will suddenly be gone. We will then be thrown back into the unbuffered state of nature and will have to pay the price for the accumulation of biological defects that we allowed to gather in our genes. Natural selection will make our culling very severe as enemies take the deaf and the nearsighted by surprise, as diabetics are unable to get their insulin shots, and I'm sure you can think of many other examples.

Abortion should be used as a means of trimming the defects out of the population, so that when the crash comes it won't be nearly so bad. Abortion should always have been used as a eugenic tool, to eliminate the flaws in the race and leave the best with more room to grow. It should never have been made subject to a woman's whimsy.

Survival comes first, and freedom comes after, in the right moral scheme of things. Why? Because life is a precondition for freedom to have meaning. Freedom has no value to the dead.

You arent married and even if you were she still could do what she wants. I would have a long talk with her and tell her that you really want her to have your baby and you will do everything for her. Good luck
