I believe there should be the freedom to do so, as long as it’s early enough. There may be many circumstances where the couple have decided it’s ultimately not best for them—what if drug or alcohol abuse was involved, and baby’s life was affected forever (disability or health problems stemming from it, or even find that there are chromosomal abnormalities from testing, etc.) what about wanting a pregnancy and then something happens to the parents financially (I.e. job loss) and unable to find a job in their field of study, then find out they’re pregnant? I have always believed that abortion is a very very difficult decision and most don’t take the decision to do so lightly. It’s honestly up to the couple involved and nobody else’s decision nor opinion. I hate the idea of abortion (who does?) but think that parents, esp. the mother, should be allowed the choice to do so regardless of others’ judgements, religious beliefs or opinions. Period.

@pamelawife134 In that case, suck it up buttercup. I don't know how you suddenly do a 180 on your idea of emotional stability.

There's always putting kiddo up for adoption if you realize you can't care for him/her emotionally - no shame there. But that's too casual of a reason to abort when there are alternatives.

Unless the value of babies life wasn’t worth it because of some disease and baby would suffer or mom could die , no

Did something happen to make them suddenly become financially unstable? I don’t understand how from conception to, at the very most 20 something weeks, circumstances could change so drastically that aborting a planned pregnancy would be up for consideration. Not to mention many moms are far from financially stable and still go through with completely unplanned pregnancies and make it work. It just seems extremely irresponsible and this is coming from someone very pro-choice.

@pamelawife134, that is not a valid reason at all to abort a baby that didn’t ask to be conceived, they as adults agreed to conceive that beautiful blessing so they need to put their adult pants on and take care of that baby.

Of course this is their decision, but I’d hate to see a child suffer because of a parents inability, taking care of kids is hard, but I also feel sad for the baby to not have a chance at life, Imo adoption is the best option based on what you said.

@pamelawife134, if they feel like they are suddenly not emotionally stable enough, I’d tell them they need to buck up buttercup. They made that baby on purpose. Time to adult and take care of it.

@akieshawife, @leowifey, what if when they decided to get pregnant they thought they were ready and in a good place but then once they got pregnant they realized that they weren't as emotionally stable?

Well in my opinion yes if there was A medical reason that was life or death for mom and a baby or maybe they wasn’t mentally stable to take care of a child or maybe they’re not financially stable but whatever the reason is I think it will have to be a damn good reason for them to decide that they don’t want to keep the baby they plan from the start

If the child was planned then they need to follow through with it.

It hugely depends on the reasoning. Why did they renege on their decision?

Im going to have the unpopular opinion.

Before the internet, no one would have known. No one would pass such harsh judgement.

No if it was planned i mean why do that? But if its as simple as the child might have a disability blah blah blah, its 100% up to them and honestly no one else opinion matters.

If they planned on a baby, I would only see if it was medically necessary as the only reason to abort the baby.

No. If they decide they’re not ready for a baby they should consider adoption

Absolutely not!!!!

Unless medically necessary, no.

Whoa. I’d hope not 😳 unless it was a serious medical thing.

Unless it was absolutely medically necessary I’d say no.
