Yes he should in certain circumstances. If the father is screaming "just get rid of it" from the get go, then ignore that crazy goon until you make up your own mind. If he is a complete dead beat of a boyfriend or husband, then the chances are high that he could be just another deadbeat father. Though you never know. For some men, having a child changes their lives for the better. When I first saw my daughter Ava on the ultrasound machine six years ago, a weird feeling came over me as if I was part of something awesome. Then after she was born, when I held her for the first time, my heart melted. Right then at that moment I knew that I was going to spend the rest of my life trying to give her a better one. Now, two daughters later, I still feel the same way. My girls mean everything to me. They huge me before I go to work, and they huge me as soon as I come in the door. That is an extraordinary feeling.
Now for the down side. Some men don't care to ever have those feelings. They would just rather be self gratifying themselves without the burden of children. It's funny that I came across the topic of abortion on here because I am presently writing my second book titled: CHRISTIAN CONTROVERSY BOOK TWO: ABORTION. It is a part of a series of books that I writing. But anyways, this title caught my eyes cause I'm currently interviewing women that have had abortions and late one night a man called me and asked if I would like to interview him. I told him that I was mostly just looking for women to interview and wasn't sure I was going to include men. He said, "well why not? Somebody's got to be paying for the damn things!" And I immediately saw the light there. I asked if he ever wanted to be a father and he went on to tell me "no way man, I'm still in college and I don't want no kids right now. I've paid for two abortions. The girls got pregnant and I gave them the money to go take care of it." This guy, who is in fact interviewed more in-depth in my book, showed the whole "I don't care attitude" that I needed to see for my research.
There are three types of fathers when it comes to the subject of abortion. There's is #1. - the father that doesn't know, and the woman gets an abortion all on her own without even letting him know. There is #2. - The "I don't care" father that just wants to throw money at the woman to hurry up and take care of it so he can have sex with her again. And then there's #3. - the father that really wants to be there for the child. Weather things work out between the mother and father or not, they should think rationally about the life that THEY did create. Give the father his chance to speak and voice his opinion. It could change the both of your lives. But when it comes down to the very last decision, which is always the one you have to live with for the rest of your life, it is ultimately always the woman's choice. So please make the right choice for Both of your sakes. Not trying to sell you, but you would also enjoy reading my next book. It has some very in-depth stories that covers abortion from every angle.
