His Life or Your Life?

If only it were as simple a decision as you make it sound. If she really wants to go abroad, that is her decision and better that she does what she truly desires rather than spend the rest of her life looking at her child and being uphappy because the child "ruined" her plans. Ok, before everyone gets upset, let me say this...I know that there is every precaution in the world to keep you from getting pregnant and that she maybe could have been responsible, but what's done is done. Now she really needs to look deep inside and think about how she really feels about everything. I wanted a child for so long that I could never dream of having an abortion or even giving my child up for adoption. And my mother, God rest her soul, was taken to a pro-abortion clinic when she found she was pregnant with me at the age of 16. Obviously she kept the baby or I wouldn't be here!!! LOL But, I had a dear friend who had to make the choice and I stood by her side although I would find it very difficult to have an abortion myself. Your friend's girlfriend needs a lot of support and understanding right now so that she can make the best decision for everyone involved.

Being unmarried she should have got abortion. economic independence is more important for girls. For career development she should not have any hindrances. Having a baby is a hindrance.

It's a tough decision to make since based on your story the baby was really not at all in her plans. But because the baby is already there I think there will be no debating here that she should choose her baby because this is a life we're talking about here. This child deserves to be born whether he's planned or not.

If I were in her place, I will do this. Since I decided to have the baby, I will see to it that the baby is welcome. Career can be pursued later also.
