if you found out that your girlfriend is pregnant and you believe that it is not from you, will you still love your girlfriend? will you accept her baby as your own? or if ever you impregnated your girlfriend and your not really expecting it, will you stay to your girlfriend or ask her to abort the baby?

a rape victim has herself gone through so much of mental and physical trauma bcoz of the rapist i see no reasons as to why she shud continue bearing the child and add to her agony...sorry if i hurt sentiments but i think she shud abort the child..

in the first place, i won't agree with the term unwanted pregnancy. how can the two of you, just for example, don't wanted a baby and you made it. maybe, i will agree if it would be untimely pregnancy. and that term goes to the teens. sorry for the negative comment there. and to answer your qquestion, i will just go to the second situation. we have done that and we should face the consequence of what we did. i am also against abortion. that is the worst level of murder...

sorry about the term, but it is the usual term used to unplanned pregnancy. and yes, most of the time this happens to the teens..

As far as my observation is concern, only few men will face that situation, the moment they will know that they are not the real father, they will give up and think that they can't trust anymore the girl.(base in my circle of friends)! about the second case, I have friends who got married at an early age because of unexpected pregnancy and good thing is that, they were brave enough to face their parents and save the baby!

Okay, I'm not a guy, so maybe I'm not the right one to reply, lol. Anyhow, the second scenario is more likely for the guy to stick around. There is some sense of responsibility, at least towards the baby. If the guy asks for an abortion, personally I would say bye-bye to him. But even if he would stick around and be all fine about it, it's no guarantee the relationship will survive this. It's not an automatic have to get married thing anymore anyway. Now the first scenario is less likely to happen. The guy would really have to love the girl to stick around. If he thinks in the back of his mind that she cheated and the baby is not his... That's just bound to be a major issue eventually. I believe it would be very very very rare for the guy to stick around and accept the baby as his own, especially, if the relationship has not been cemented yet by marriage. And even then the guy will more likely end up divorcing the woman.

If I were the man, then it would depend on how the pregnancy happens. If she gets pregnant by another man because she played around then bye-bye to her because I cannot stomach marrying an unfaithful girl. If she did it once, chances are she will do it once more. I am not about ready to suffer all my life. If the pregnancy happens because of rape or any means against her will, then I will still take her as my wife and will consider the baby as mine.

i won't advice her to abort the baby but i will not continue to be her boy friend. even i love her most but she made mistakes to our relations, what happen if we got marriage? people will laugh me because of my girlfriend act. final decision is break the relationship in earlier time.
