Re: Not true

I realize this post is a month or more after the fact but I felt compelled to respond to Gilda's negative responds.

First off, she would have to prove it was his baby before she could even consider suing him for half the cost. For a women that won't pay for it herself...I doubt she's willing to pay for a paternity test. Not to mention his objection to the whole procedure, I doubt she'd get very far in court at all.

Your comments about controlling her with money are so far off. Do you ever reread the original post before spouting off about what you think? The guy objects to paying for an abortion which is a moral issue for him. However, if you read his original post he says he's financial and emotional supported her. He's even offered to pay for other ways in which the baby can have a good life without aborting.

You aren't trying to insult him? Who are you to tell him that his baby would not have a good life? Furthermore, you told him he'd ruin a young life with lousy parents! You clearly haven't read the original post or you wouldn't have a blind insistence to tell him he should keep it in his pants. He states in the original post that they'd both discuss having children, marriage, etc and have been to the doctor etc.

It's more likely that his girlfriend is dealing with imbalances in hormones/depression/etc and is being a bit irrational. However, it is her choice to abort and he really has no say. Should he pay? Depending on how strong his moral convictions are...I'd pay half. It takes two to tango and if she's unwilling to hear his side of the arguments than she better be willing to pay for half of it. I'm not defending or condoning either side, there are always two sides to a story and yes we don't know both. However, to completely disregard the original post when spouting off your opinion shows a complete lack of knowledge and unbias attitudes! Furthermore, if were him I would disregard your responses as unhelpful to the overall situation.
