Siren_Cytherea answered Friday June 30 2006, 12:52 pm: I think her body is her body. If she's not ready to have a baby, then she doesn't have to - or shouldn't have to. Also, three months is not that long a period of time. Are they seeing each other, or married?
Maybe I'm old fashioned, but it could be that she doesn't want to have a child out of wedlock.
There are a number of reasons that she might not want to keep this baby.
In my opinion, I do think she is right to want an abortion, based on my assumption that they are indeed not married, and have only been seeing each other for three months.
I admit, I'm also a little biased given the fact that I never want to have children and if I were to wind up pregnant, I would have an abortion.
However - you need to consider what could be going through her head. She's probably wondering how long he's going to stay with her and doesn't want to end up a single mother. That's not fun for anybody. Three months, again, is not that long.
So in response to your questions, I think the length of time of the relationship is a HUGE factor in her want to have an abortion, and yes, I do think she is right.
But remember, it's only my opinion. Hers is the one that really matters: It's her body and her baby. Your son needs to think this through more carefully if he doesn't agree with her, and he needs to respect her wishes in this.
Good luck
