That is such a moronic statement. Abortion is not simply a solution. It's a choice that can take a huge toll on a woman, physically, mentally, and emotionally. Don't push her to do something that she may regret the rest of her life. The baby can grow up in an adoptive home and have a perfectly happy, normal life. If she gets an abortion, it could mean serious problems for her down the road.

And yes, giving a child up for adoption doesn't affect the mother at all...

Abortion CAN be a solution. It's not everyone's solution, but it can be the best decision in many cases. Try not to charge this by spazzing out over a flippant comment.

One of my worst fears is getting a girl pregnant...mainly because I never liked any of my gf's enough to even want to spend the rest of my life tied to them.

Yes however all the advice given to him, that he should raise the subject of abortion first is quite stupid. If he does, and she doesnt want an abortion he is seriously screwed.

just to be clear what i ment to choose between was abortion and adoption (my preference) but do not think that you are in any place in your life to raise a child.

Actually, pulling out and blowing all over her face would probably gotten him out of the situation.

I understand that anal is pretty good in preventing pregnancy too. ;)

HotChic is right. Abortion is no panacea. Just think, you are a father now (if the baby is confirmed to be yours). Can you murder something that is half you? Can she? Believe me, it's not a done deal; it's something you will both take to the grave.

Save the child, give it up for adoption. I know several couples in the ATL area, great couples, who have been trying to have their own children and failed. Please consider it.

oh yeah, and giving birth at age 18 is not gonna be detrimental to the girl's mental and physical health.

The effects of aborting the baby are far worse than those dealing with having the baby. Trust me, my sister was in this exact predicament. Thankfully, she decided to have the baby.

Jesus, drop the rhetoric. "Murder?" If it was considered murder by a majority of the population it wouldn't be legal. I'm not encouraging abortion as birth control but there are a LOT of cases where it is the best decision, EVERYONE considered.

If it isn't murder, then why are people tried for double homicide when they kill a pregnant woman?

EDIT: Good luck MacGaven! Give it some time. She is probably late due to stress or something.
