I'm going to give some sound advice, help her to create a plan and then I'm going to step to the left, because if you play grown, then you're gonna act grown.

but it aint my body/life. I would support her with whichever option.

for good while though. I got 2 cousins that this happened to and both, of course, don't have their own places, can't afford daycare, and one isn't even working.

I'm tryna be better off, not better than...

I'm pro-choice but abortion is sad. Having a baby at 18 is just too difficult. I had my twins at 25, and I wasn't ready. I'd hope she'd have the baby and we'd help her.

everyone else is wasting their time.

pregnancy.

I voted red because I'd like to think that any child of mine would be in a position to have a great life such that having a child at 18 would be a tremendous burden that wouldn't be worth it.

In my grandmother's case, she wasn't going to go to college anyway, so she really wasn't forgoing that much to have my father.

but whatever she did, i'd be supportive.

someone asked my mom this question when i was a teenager and she said she'd support me whatever i decided. (meanwhile i wasn't letting NO DICKS get near me, lol)

like how did we slip up on this, first and foremost
(i.e in my mind this would be an impossibility, given how pro contraception i am)

second- we'd be making an appointment

I think most people would support the daughter's choice. This is a question of preference.

There's pluses and minuses to both options. My job isn't really to have an opinion. Plus, there's so many variables. Given the info at hand I can't call.

Is dude in the picture? Is there a chance he could be a stand up guy?
Is my daughter relatively smart otherwise and made a bad decision or was this a result of reckless living and partying? It's not like my preferences would be the same in every situation.

would all sit down and have a discussion to see where everyones at.....ultimately though it's her decision.

and i'd support her either way

if I have a son to become the family doctor / lawyer, I can stand to have my daughter be a teen Mom (lol)

my preference is obviously for her to abort and continue her education, find her career path or passion, but some young people just don't have that drive and are meant for much simpler things

It's not the end of the world for her to have the baby, and as long as the financial and emotional burden doesn't fall SQUARELY on myself or my wife (fully knowing much of it will), I could support her having the baby happily, too

I'm admittedly kind of torn having had my ex have an abortion at around 22 y.o.

because some 18 year old women could handle it, some couldn't. depends on which kind of kid i had.

ultimately, i'd want them to do whatever is best for their physical and mental health.

Her choice though. We'd discuss all the options and consequences thoroughly.

but I would support whatever decision she wanted to make.

and hope that she does get the abortion. I doubt it would be a good look for her.

Christ. That is NOT what this is. Not even close.

What does that mean? You're not the first or only person to use the phrase.

pregnant over and over and aborting each one instead of using pill or condoms. that doesn't fit the OP question tho.

since that doesn't really apply here.

There is usually a tinge of disappointment or disgust that women are 'getting away' with having sex without consequence. Him going there in response to the hypo in the OP gave me that feeling.

Y'all be on that Pure Uncut OKP

No you don't bc no one here with any sense looks up to you or has much respect for your ministry anyway. So you might as well fire away. Which you already did in your passive aggressive stone-throwing/hand-hiding manner. At least have the courage of your conviction. Sheesh.

all the time. So, I really wish you would stop with the antics every day. It's rather unbecoming and unprofitable.

Sure, guy. Sure.

>antics every day. It's rather unbecoming and unprofitable.

stop telling on yourself. we know the money all you really care about

I admire your unflinching nihilism

Good for me that she made her choice but I wouldnt have.

Even though I'v only ever been nice and cordial to you. OK. You have drank the Kool-Aid of my haters for no reason. But that's cool. Thanks for showing me your true colors.

Have a good day.

Your approach is heavy handed and youre very judgemental, these are things that I've observed on my own not from the "okay koolaid pitcher". Actually majority of the time I don't take any of the things that you say seriously and our interactions are mostly jokey. And the "not today, Satan " comment was a jokey joke like the majority of our interactions have been. Not even sure why you're getting all extra sensitive about it now.

Like I said, I've never said anything negative to you or about you. Have a good day yo.

Any other time you'd say something like " you're just mad " now you're being sensitive today.

By conversation I mean a conversation without cameras in which I express disdain for his actions.........

Yeah, she's aborting the kid no question. Hate to press the reset button and I don't condone abortions (not it's my place to okay or deny a woman's decision anyway) but that's my child and her life will forever be negatively affected by raising a child at a young age.

we gon ride out her wishes
she's an adult.
i'm an adult.
we got it whatever.

Your unspoken wish. In your heart of hearts.

of course it would be HER choice

my wife was 18 when she got knocked up the first time & i couldn't imagine existence without that boy

ultimately the choice is hers...i'd help either way but i'm not letting her off the hook

life is a blessing

A lot of us are here because some one kept their unwanted pregnancy.
