A female reader, chigirl Norway +, writes (5 February 2013):

chigirl agony auntAre you religious? You could talk to a priest for guidance.

If abortion is an option for you, then there are contact centers around in most countries. I would suggest you contact your doctor first to have a talk, and your doctor will be able to tell you where you might go to ask questions about abortion (or maybe you will get the answers you seek from talking to your doctor).

For me it comes down to this: would I be able to live knowing that I had an abortion? Would I be able to go through life having done this? Or would it pain me too much? I know for me personally, it would be unbearable. I couldn't ever do it. But that's just me, and everyone are different. Perhaps abortion is the best thing for you. You need to listen to yourself and make the decision.

I also think you should talk to the man who impregnated you. This IS a matter for him too to think about, rather than just dump the responsibility and tell you "I'll support you". That's a cop out, a way of not taking responsibility. He needs to form an opinion and then tell you his opinion.
