Pro-life/Pro-choice

Recently, I met a guy (not in that way), and he had a bit of a reputation, if you know what I mean. We started talking about what he would do if he got a girl pregnant. Now he said that he wouldn't want this girl to have an abortion because he didn't believe in it.

It's quite funny, because up until that moment I was completely pro-life (which is not to have an abortion) but then when he was talking I started thinking to myself 'how many women is he potentially going to sleep with tonight, and not care if he gets them pregnant?' I mean it's one thing if your happy in a relationship but you are too young to have a baby and your family will frown upon it, but you still decide you want the baby. But this guy was blatantly very sexually promiscuous, and he was sitting there telling me that he would have a baby if it happened.

Now I don't know the odds or whatever, but just imagine he slept with three girls in one night and got each girl pregnant. He wouldn't let the girls have an abortion and he seems like a charming guy and could probably persuade them not to. Then he would just be an absent father for three children who would be the same age, and would grow up resenting there father.

Basically, I'm trying to say that while I am pro-life, I do think that there are some cases where you have to do what is best for the child and sometimes that is to let that child go before it gets born into a life where it will not be happy.

Peace out <3 x
