I Need Advice

My Brother

By: Aminik
Written on January 9th, 2008
It turns out my brothers ex is pregnant. He is only 19 and she wants an abortion! He has no capabilty of taking care of a child anyway. But shouldn't he have a say? And should he have to help pay for an abortion if he doesn't want it? I'm not sure how he feels. It all happened last night. Any adivce. I am very distraught about this. It hurts me immensely!

    This choice isn't up to you or you brother. It is up to your brother's ex to decide what to do with her baby. An abortion isn't nessacarily the best idea , have you ever suggested to your brother, adoption? It's another way to get rid of a child with a good cause knowing it'll have more opportunities in his/her life. I hope you and your brother the best (:

    Of course I think he should voice his opinion but it is her decision in the long run. Do I think that he should help pay for the abortion?....First response, NO.....but i also know that though it doesn't seem fair, they both got each other into that situation and for her to ask him to help pay for the abortion is not that far fetched....So sad, I hope things get worked out.

    An abortion is free in England that's why so many girls get pregnant here :(

    Morally, he should have a say, but technically, it is her body, not his, and they aren't married. I'm not sure what he could do. But if she does decide to abort the child, it would only be fair of him to help pay for it IF he also agrees. Sad situation.
