Love'em OR Leave'em:

Lisa is upset because her husband Donovan wants her to have an abortion. Donovan is concerned because they already have 2 kids and financially they're already stretched to their max because he's been laid off before. Lisa found out a month ago that she was pregnant, but she JUST told Donovan....and now if she was to go thru with the abortion, she's running out of time. She doesn't want to have the abortion but she's feeling the pressure!
Should she LOVE or LEAVE the baby???

 

Situations like this can destroy a marriage because she's torn between honoring her husband's wishes to abort the baby and keeping the child. This is why a couple should be financially stable before they bring children into the world. Children cost money from birth to 18, and if a couple isn't up to that responsibility, then maybe they should hold off on kids for now. My thought is: Why would they move forward with the decision to have children and they were stretched financially? That makes 0 sense. Maybe they went ahead with having children assuming the husband would be back to his previous financial status, I don't know. All I know is that the possibility of abortion is rough on a woman, let alone a man (provided he wants to keep the baby). Any woman who's had an abortion knows how haunting it is physically and mentally. Some women never get over having had an abortion, so for him to ask his wife to undergo a potentially devastating maneuver is crazy.

They should have taken precautions to prevent her pregnancy. He should've gotten a vasectomy and she should've gotten her tubes tied. Otherwise, pregnancy is always a possibility during sexual activity. If a couple doesn't want a baby, they shouldn't lay down with each other, period. I'm in a Facebook group and some people are putting it all on the man, which is insane to me because it takes two to make a baby. It's not the man or woman's fault, it's BOTH couple's fault for not taking the necessary precautions to prevent this from happening. It's funny how some people are ready to put it on the man, but some people forget that once a man ejaculates inside of a woman, that sperm travels through a woman's body, therefore starting the creation of a baby. To me, this is a lose-lose situation because if she keeps the baby, they'll struggle financially to raise that child (assuming they're still stretched financially) and the husband may resent his wife. If she aborts, she'll end up hating her husband for forcing her to go through with an abortion.
