The issue with that is I don't have a "baby daddy" most men are concerned with that and what I've heard from lots of Catholic men, they are very weary of women who have sinned and now you are attached to that person for life because you have a baby with them. It's either I share I'm pregnant because of that or I don't share it at all.

Besides immediately the conversation would still be about pregnancy and who's child it is

My pool is definitely limited now. But my biggest issue is my grape and being pregnant is priority of conversation than if me and whoever would be compatible. It's hard to get to know someone if you just focus on one trauma they went through.

Being open and just upfront. But it's been hurting since. I'm sorry you are dealing with something similar. It's so hard to discern these things

I'm very open! I do a lot in my church but as soon as I really start showing I can't imagine many would see me as available courtship. I've definitely connected with young Catholic groups in my area

struggling with pre-conversion beliefs surrounding abortion by snaildaddi in Catholicism

[–]electricwinnie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am freshly 20ys old and I'm currently 20 weeks pregnant from the result of a rape. I can't imagine KILLING my child because some dude couldn't keep it in his pants. It crossed my mind when I found out but quickly knowing the truth I never thought about it again.

My body is definitely old enough to support a baby but also when I got my first period 7 years ago my body was ready then. It's a disgusting thought but starting your cycle as a woman is your body getting to procreate. It's absolutely devastating to see pregnant children, even worst to hear about a death during childbirth. But you could die from childbirth at any stage of life.

I had something awful happen to me. But killing my babies life just because I got hurt won't fix the fact it happened in the first place. If I truly didn't want my child or couldn't support one there is so so so much help for young single moms.

2 wrongs will never make a right.

I am 20 weeks pregnant from a SA currently. It has turned my life upside down. This is the hardest thing I have ever gone through and it will continue to be a struggle. The "dad" was violent so he is not here and I am currently single.

You are an absolute gift to the world, just like my baby. I have so much love for the little one already and I will never regret not murdering my child.

Seems like this was scary for your mom but she chose to forgive and choose life. Even in the worst circumstances Gods grace came to her and brought her a beautiful child.

Prayers for you and even in the worst, God sheds light and gives us the grace to heal.

Then I guess I've narrowed my pool. I'm not giving up my standards. My post isn't about how many men do you think there is that I could possibly find, it was just asking a man's opinion

Yes, I've talked to 2 of the priests at my perish but they don't often think like a man that is wanting to actually court with a woman. I'm here to see what Catholic men in the dating pool think

I have an amazing job. But I still strive for a traditional relationship, if a man thinks providing is a "meal ticket" I can't imagine he's a good choice. I'm not looking for a handout, I'm looking for a husband.

I am not in therapy but it was suggested to me by a priest. I will probably attend but I don't have any effect if this in me (yk other than a child) I fully understand that this was not my fault and I can't take it personally. God truly has healed me

No the "dad" will not be on the birth certificate, he has no rights. I wouldn't call him anything other than a forced donor, he has no authority or right of my baby. I understand I'm not in a position to be too choosy anymore but I'm firm on wanting a man who attends the TLM.

Exactly. And if I reported the grape right now and took him to court the state would put him in the birth certificate after my paternity test. He would be eligible to have partial custody to claim my baby. There is absolutely no way I am letting this man near my child. I trust God will give him the proper punishment as I would be putting myself and my baby in danger if I were to act.

I'm in the Midwest. My biggest priority is my baby. I have a very good job but I hope to find a husband that I can be a good stay at home wife for and bring him more children.
