Don't give up brother! I'm sympathetic to you. Abortion is not the very solution to your wife's genuine need. Why does she want to do abortion? What's wrong with carrying and giving birth to your new child? The answer will give you indicator to the right solution. I will pray for you. I believe, in her inner-heart as a mother your wife still want a baby. Keep your positive thinking about her, that will be your unuttered praying for her. I think, it's time to prove your faith, and God is listening to you.

Dear Friend, Your words give me power.It gives me strength to keep my positive thinking. just a second ago,my wife called me and said she would got to a doctor to abort,even without my permission. I think,this is the time to show my faith in God. Yes,HE is listening me. Thank you for your great support.

I am not a doctor so I don't know if it is still safe to abort at that stage. But, my opinion is if your wife doesn't want a child and she want to abort it . It's her choice. Let she do it. Do you want to have a child and she because of your decision not letting her to will cause her to hate you and hate all of the children. Besides, it's a matter between her and her doctor. If her doctor say yes, than go ahead. I know you have your religious values but she has her reasons too. You can't impose your belief on others.

thank you, I value you suggestions. she has her reasons such as finance,long leave from her job etc. Are they real reasons? I never try to impose my believes on others.I admit her rights and believes. How can a doctor who has profesional ethics support an abortion on such reasons? We discussed the matter with a lady doctor.The doctor is not ready to abort.The doctor tried at her best to convince my wife.But,the doctor became fail.

This is so sad. I don't know how you can convince her it is wrong. Maybe you could show her some pictures of babies that have been aborted, maybe she does not realize that abortion is really murder. There are people who seem to think that a baby is not really human until born or something based on what I have heard them say. I have lost several babies due to miscarriages and that has hurt me very deeply. I would love to have another baby, but after the last miscarriage I don't know if I can or not. I don't think I could live with myself if I purposely had an abortion. I guess just ask everyone to pray that your wife changes her mind, and maybe she will.

thank you, Abortion is really a murder. but, many people are not ready to admit it.it so sad. many people pray for a baby.many people are hurt by miscarriages. Here,one mother wants to reject her own baby. she has her own reasons such as finance,long leave from job etc. Are they real reasons?

That is a very difficult situation for you. When it comes to matters of abortion, I have always believed that the woman has the right to make the decision to not have the child. I say that, because it is her body and she is the one that must give birth to the child. I don't believe that any woman would refuse to give birth to a child she is carrying without a very good reason. You do not really mention the reason here. Maybe you do not know for sure what the reason is.. That would be the first thing I would try to find out...

Thank you, She has her own reasons such as finance,long leave from her job etc. Are they real reasons? We consult the matter with a lady doctor.The doctor sorted out both our minds.The doctor could not find valued reason for abortion.the doctor tried at her best to convince my wife.The doctor became fail and sad. Now my wife is trying to see another doctor.

Pregnancy causes many emotional problems! Abortion will not solve emotional problems, it only makes things worse. Thank goodness that your wife will not have an abortion without your permission. Hopefully, she will change her mind about this baby and see it as a blessing. We will keep you and your family in our prayers. The power of prayer is amazing and yes God does listen. Have FAITH :)

That is a difficult problem. You need to find out what is going on with her emotionally. There is surely something else bothering her.

don't let your emotions overcome your desire to help your unborn child. i admire you for being brave in facing this kind of situation and for having fear on God. i know you are having a difficult time but try to be strong. if you are not able to convince your wife, maybe a little help from her family and relatives will do. i am sure, she would listen to her own family. if not, try reaching out to your closest friends, maybe they can help you. i hope that you would be able to encourage your wife to stop thinking about taking abortion because that is a mortal sin. good luck and always pray.

You must feel very helpless at this sad time. I will be keeping you in prayer about this matter. I wonder why your wife feels so strongly about this second child. Does she enjoy being a mother to your daughter? Would she be willing to have the new baby and let a friend or family member adopt? At least that way you would be able to interact with your child. My heart goes out to you. Please keep us updated in this situation.

Hey listen I feel first talk to her that why is she wanting to abort the child..She may have her own valid reasons..Apart from that if you force her to still go ahead with her second baby..then the child is the one who ultimately suffers..I am Clinical hypnotherapist and I know when mother feels rejection towards the baby or baby is unwanted then baby when grows, actually keeps feeling rejection...I would suggest please let this be a mutual decision...Communication is the best way to sort out the issue...Have faith in God and try to comfort her by letting her know that you are with her...she is not alone fighting the situation...

thank you, she has her own reasons such as finance,problems related to looking after a child and long leave from her job. Are they real reasons for abortion. she sees problems.I admit. how can we reject a child on the basis of the problems? I value your suggestion. Communication is the best way to sort out the issue.

I'm so sad to hear that your wife doesn't want your baby. She didn't realize how lucky both of you are because there are lots of people in this world who couldn't have a child and want it so much. I'm sorry that I couldn't help you because it is her body and it is very much up to her if your child will live. Let us leave everything to the Divine Intervention of God and pray that she'll change her mind and nothing bad will happen to your baby.

I am sorry to hear your wife is not willing to carry a 2nd child, i am not sure what can be done about this. I believe it is her body however i don't believe she has the right to abort a pregnancy without at least having a discussion with you. I am a semi-religious person but i don't think prayer will work, i am not saying anything bad against religion but to pray for your wife to change her mind isn't the way to go about it. Write her a letter & tell her what you're thinking & feeling. Ask her why she isn't happy to have a 2nd child, maybe she struggled to cope with the 1st & didn't tell you about it, which is why she doesn't want to go have a 2nd child. I know children are a blessing - i have a young daughter myself but things really are different for a Mother than they are for the father. I wish you well with sorting out your problems & hope you can come to a decision that will leave both you & your wife happy. I'm sorry i cant be of more help.

does she have mail id, if so i will send you a power point presentation, show her that, i am sure you can convince her. ask her does she want to kill your first child. if she can then she can kill the second child.tell that the child in her is another person, it just lives in her for a while . and the child will become a great personality one day who knows the future, if possible plz contact me. i will tell you the way to convince her

i pray for you and that your wife will change her mind. i do not agree with her aborting the baby since the fact is really there that you two are together and that you are ready to support her and your family all the way. she might have her own reasons in aborting the baby but still, it is wrong and she will be killing her own baby. she should have taken pills or other kind of methods of contraception if she does not want to get pregnant. my advice, talk to her and convince her. use contraceptions then if ever. i will really pray for your situation.

Tell your wife that abortion is a mortal sin. The same time, ask her whats the reason why she dont want to have that baby? Listen to her fears and try to comfort her. Yeah, prayer is powerful. And keep communicating and let her feel your love and care for your wife and the baby which in her womb now!

Faith in God is your last resort. Ask for God guidance, that your wife may be open her mind. Talk to your wife ask her what seems to be the problem and always be humble, always give way for her. Tell her that you love her and the child in her womb. That you will be a good partner to her and a good father to your children. Talk to her...

someone responded that you first find out what her reason is for not wanting the child. i agree. if you know what's bothering her you could talk to her and you can both work out a solution to the problem. it may seem easier said than done but you really have to be by your wife's side at all times in moments like this..she must have a deeper reason..let her talk and you both pray together.. just hang on & keep your faith globur.

I'll pray for you because I think what your wife is doing is selfish and cruel. If she didn't want another child, she could have used birth control but to kill the child simply because it's inconvenient is selfish. Turning to God is the best solution. He can do miracles so trust Him.
