What if she wants an abortion and I don't?

Unfortunately, there is little a man can do legally if his partner has decided to have an abortion. However, you can have a strong influence on her decision. Most men say, "I will support her no matter what she decides." Although this may sound supportive it leaves the burden of the whole decision on the woman. She needs a strong partner in helping her think through this life-changing decision.

If you openly tell her you want to keep the baby and will help her, she will consider keeping the baby. It can make a difference! But if you stay "neutral", she might think you're really saying "I don't want this baby."
