What Can I Do if My Partner Wants an Abortion, but I Want To Keep the Baby?
An unintended pregnancy can mean two different things to two different people. To some, it is a happy and welcome surprise. To others, being unexpectedly pregnant can be frightening.
No matter what, suddenly discovering you are pregnant is a shock to everyone involved. You now have a crucial choice to make. Do you continue with your pregnancy or end it? What should you do if you and your partner don’t agree?
It’s Ultimately Up to You
If you are the mother in this situation, the decision is legally up to you. If your partner wants an abortion, but you want to parent, you can decide to parent alone.
A man could be fearful of financial responsibility, but no matter the reason for wanting you to abort, you have to do what is right for you. Ultimately, only you can decide what is best for you and your future. Support is available to you at our center!
If you ever feel threatened or unsafe along your pregnancy journey or beyond, contact the National Domestic Violence Hotline by calling 800-799-SAFE. The advocate you speak with will help you determine the best plan to proceed safely.
If You’re the Father
Did you find out your partner is pregnant, and you want to keep the baby, but your partner, as the mother, doesn’t? This can be a tough situation as the mother ultimately has the final say.
Though you may consider the financial struggles and unexpected responsibility, you still desire to parent. Explain your heart and situation to your partner.
Your partner may just need to know what support is available. Adoption is a free alternative to abortion and parenting if your partner is open to considering it. Though your partner has the final say on the outcome, it’s still worth expressing your feelings or opinions as it will affect your future, too.
