Related: About this forumI only support abortion when it's absolutely necessary.
Like when someone is pregnant and they don't want to be.

Women decide. End of story.

(115,103 posts)Others don't. That decision is also solely up to the woman who is pregnant.

Anyway, for a number of reasons, her partner strongly encouraged abortion, I told her it was her choice and there was no shame. She choose to abort and is doing very well at this time. She's a complex woman, and understands she made the best decision for herself at the time.
In the end, her choice, her decision, her body. We were there to support that choice.

(2,560 posts)It was her decision (neither of us were even sure if I was the father - ain't life complicated).
But it was her decision.
That's my position as well.
