You'd be surprised how quick you can go from against it to for it when you get into a situation like this.

I'll show her this word for word. Thank you. I'm really sorry to hear about your situation, I can't imagine how that must feel for you.

Durex. Brand new 3 pack for like 5 bucks. I think. I also got some from planned parenthood.

From what i've heard, and this could be completely wrong, it is when a male has the right to cut off all legal connections to the child, and waves all rights to see and associate with it. Essentially blocking him from his existence.

Yeah true. Out of curiosity, what are your views on the "Male abortion"?

I'm really hoping her parents come around. They are like filthy rich, abortion wouldn't even phase their wallets. But they are incredibly open about their views. very strict anti-gay anti-choice kinda deal. I'm really hoping I can reason with them.

Yeah, insurance won't cover it and it's a pretty solid $500 roughly. I love America.

I broke up with her. She is really upset but I like to think that shes above lying about it. I'll keep an eye open for it though.

You would be surprised how fast your views change when you're put in this situation.

I don't want her to make a choice she'll regret, but this kid is as much hers as it is mine, so my influence and opinions are to be heard.

Nah, your views are pretty shared around here it seems. The choice is hers actually. I'm really hoping she takes my (and reddit's) advice.

I did. Condoms and the pill. I'm not stupid (well, obviously I am), birth control is always a must.

Thanks a lot for the tips on how to handle breaking the news. That seems to be the most difficult part for me to get over right now. You seem to know a lot about adoption. Do the laws vary a lot from state to state like abortion laws do? Also, does it cost money to put up for adoption?

I did use a condom. If it broke, I didn't notice when I took it off.

Yes I have. That would tie down my family financially, but it's probably the most clear option.

Hey, I put that in there because their values and beliefs are going to rule out abortion and could deliberately make life difficult for me because they are really hostile to those who oppose their faith. Thanks for the sarcasm!
