For
Guys...
You think she might
be pregnant.
You may wonder if she is carrying your baby?
Maybe friends and family are encouraging you
towards an abortion.
Whatever your situation, you are not alone.
Here’s some quick advice that may be of benefit to you right now:
The Do’s
- Listen. The situation involves more than just you. There are now
three lives to think about.
- Stay Calm. Freaking out will only magnify the negative. You
are not
the first couple ever to be in this spot.
- Talk about it. Hiding the news from people who can genuinely help
you only increases the stress.
The Don'ts
- Do not bail. The more you run from this, the harder it becomes to
think and act clearly.
- Do not pressure her. Applying pressure will only push her away,
possibly into a regretful situation. Both of you would do well to work
as a team.
- Do not forget. You have a very active role in this situation. Listen
to input as well as give your thoughts.
It is true, we are here to help. We talk to many
men about the choices they have when their facing an unplanned pregnancy.
Abortion seems like an easy and legal choice
but it does have significant risks that you may not understand. You may not
realize this but abortion has many risks for both of your futures.
Many
women who have had abortions report that they were waiting for their
boyfriend/husband to stop them. Some have said they sat on the table hoping
the father of their baby would "rush through the door to rescue me and take
me away somewhere safe." She needs your friendship now more than ever.
It is impossible to determine if you are the
father of the baby until after the birth of the baby. If you
have been with
her sexually, assume that you are probably the father of her baby.
The world says that abortion is "a woman's
choice" but the woman in an unplanned pregnancy rarely wants to make that
choice alone. She is looking to you for support because she can
not confide in
many people about this situation. When women hear men say, "Do
not look at me
to tell you what to do," they often believe the man wants the abortion. Be
careful you do not say something that you could regret. Assure her you will
stand beside her through this. Reassure her she does
not need to have an
abortion to please or keep you.
