She is 23, and she is now 6 weeks pregnant and her partner (and also the father) wants her to get an abortion. Her name is not relevant, but she is my friend. This very confused woman feels that she is really pressured to make a decision without thinkint it through. Somehow she would keep the baby, but on another hand she is scared that if she does that, she will loose her man. What is your oppinion on a situation like this one?

I saw that this post you did on My Lot two years ago. Therefore I wondered what happened. Did your 23 year old friend stay pregnant and then give birth to her baby? I hope that is what happened. If so I hope her boyfriend understood and became a loving father.
In a case when a lady gets pregnant and she wants her baby but her partner wants an abortion they lady should go ahead a let her baby be born. It wouldn't matter if she loses her partner because he is nasty asking for the innocent little baby to be aborted.

I think the choice is between the parents, but most especially the woman (since she's carrying the child)... If her man really loves her, then he will accept her decision, a baby is a gift from god and no one has the right to take/kill it.. (it's been 2 years..) So, did she keep the baby??

yah! she should keep the baby, if the man really loves her, he will not leave her and will be happy to know that they will have a baby. and also it is not the fault of the baby, so there is no reason to abort it. plus abortion is a sin, a mistake will not be corrected with another mistake. And having a baby is the great experience for a mother. Baby is a blessing from God, so take good care of it.

Well this is really a messed up part as man want to abort baby after 6 weeks if man don't want the baby he must have give her pills to avoid pregnancy but now after 6 weeks he is asking her to abort and he know her very well as all woman are sensitive its easy for man to say abort i am not ready still but what about woman feelings I can say without knowing her that she must be crying like anything. Well all i can say is that she has married a wrong man who definitely never understood her wife or he is having affair outside and he is just putting her wife in jeopardy so that he could leave her by blaming her as he knows it is a very hard decision for a woman to take. Well all i can say that i think that man is thinking to cheat her that's it he has got some one else in his life and he wants to get rid of her.

I think she should keep the baby. If she looses the guy then he wasn't meant for her anyways. I think the choice is 90% the woman's. It's her body. People can always find a way to make it through. I'm personally against abortion. Their views are their own, but if she wants to keep it and he doesn't, they need to sit down and have a very long talk about their future. She has time to make a decision. I think she has until 9 weeks?? i'm not sure about that though. This is a HUGE life changing decision and she should not be pressure into doing anything! If her partner is doing that then she can do much better than him anyways.
