Yeah, I´m catholic. Anyway, we are not talking about my religion here.
It is easy to say a lot of things when we are not in the situation this girl is. Murder is sometimes ethical, abortion can be understood when the mother´s life is at stake... blah blah blah... When we are in the situation, things change a lot.
I recommend this girl not to abort because I feel, from the original poster´s words, that she loves the baby. It is the other as***le who doesn´t want to assume his responsibility because he´s shaking like a leaf thinking that if he is a father he will ruin his life.
To fu*k he was man enough... to be a father he´s not? That´s BS. Life ain´t that easy.
Abortion is not a solution here. She has to have him understand he has to be a full man and assume what is his responsibility. If they decide to give it in adoption, fine.
