My Girlfriend Wants An Abortion

If someone you care about is contemplating an abortion, you must not remain silent. You have a responsiblity to your child and yourself to dicuss the options with your girlfriend.

Abortion carries traumatic consequences, not only for the baby, but also for the mother and father. This may seem to be an option that hides the fact that your girlfriend is pregnant. You may think the problem is gone. However, evidence-based research has shown that many men and women suffer traumatic consequences called post abortion trauma. They are filled with guilt and shame, regretting the choice they made.

Society will tell you that this life is just a piece of tissue and this "simple" procedure" will eliminate all your problems. It is not quite that easy. Your child is a life. It is not an extension of your girlfriend's body. See the first 9 months of a baby.

Sometimes we make bad decisions. It is always wise to accept responsibility for our mistakes and make better decisions. The danger would be to make another unwise decision that would lead to more regret and heartache for you and your girlfriend. Don't stand by in silence while your girlfriend makes this decision alone.
