What if she wants an abortion and I don't?

I am 24 and my girlfriend, who will be 20 in 2 months, is pregnant and wants an abortion. I am strongly against abortions if it's between two people that's been in love and lived with each other for two years. I respect the fact that she doesn't want the...

baby because she feels that she's not ready to have a child. I have asked her many times to go back on birth control before she got pregnant but she said that she didn't want to gain weight again. we've been using condoms but she still got pregnant and now I feel that we should both step up to the plate as adults. I know that she's only 19 and she feels that she don't want to stop partying with her friends but there are ways to work around this without ending a life. I would be more than happy to take care of the baby and let her go out and do her thing when ever she wants but she feels that if she has this child, her social life will go right out of the window. if you feel that you're responsible enough to have sex, shouldn't you be responsible to the consequences that may come of it? I really don't want any of us to regret killing a life and wonder, later on down the line, how old the child would have been, what he or she would have looked like, or what might they have grown up to become. I love my girlfriend with all my heart and I took her pregnancy as a blessing. I feel that people have many regrets in life but a life isn't something one should regret. can someone please help me. I don't know what to do. am I just being selfish?

Having sex is not a 'responsibility' ...but there ARE consequences. Just like there ARE consequences if she gets pregnant, or if you get an STD. There are also consequences if she decides to have the baby, or abort, or give it up for adoption. It is ultimately HER decision, and she needs to weigh the options carefully, and decide whats best for HER.

As far as 'abortion' goes. You're either pro-life or pro-choice. You said that you're "strongly against abortions IF--" ...the STRONGLY AGAINST would indicate that you're pro-life, but the IF indicates pro-choice. So... which one are you?

Regardless, you want to keep the child; but she wants to abort, so she can continue to PARTY. I guess you can see there are also 'consequences' with dating someone younger and less mature than yourself, right?

She is not ready to have a child, but she could carry this baby full term then give it up for adoption. There are many couples out there who can't have children and would certainly give this child a good home. I don't agree w/abortion either. To me that is murder.

Ultimatley it is the females choice. theres no way around it. you can try talking to her but then it will always be her choice.. sorry.

I've ad an ebortion if she is not reays 2 av a child theres nothing you can say 2 change her mind you just av 2 b there for her. becos you feel emotional after it an can even get depressed. I know you mght not agree wiv it but if thats wot she wants your going to av 2 b there for her.

well the condem didnt work so you can sue the company and get rich im sure she'll gladly have the baby then

^ idiot ^

I disagree with captainassassin (again), sex IS a responsibility. You have to make sure you use a condom and/or birth control . You both have to maek sure of those things. So it is a responsibility. Just a responsibility with conseqences if you don't live up to those reponsibilities.
But as for your actual problem, she should consider having the child. Just tell her, that you want the baby because it's something that you both made together. And that what you made, was a human life. I mean, it's a beautiful thing. You created a living thing and it's inside her. Just ask her to think this through a little more. And also tell her that it should be half your disicion. I mean, sure, it's her body, but it's also half your baby. And half hers. Just talk to her, and tell her exactly how you feel.

*sigh*

The ACT of having sex is NOT a responsibility, practicing SAFE SEX is. There's a difference...
