New Study: Top Reason for Women's Abortions is No Supportive Partner, Father

This study supports the idea that abortion occurs in the context of a family. It requires both a committed mother and father to assure the choice to deliver and care for a child.

And the left totally opposed to this.

The left believes in self actualizatin. It’s a movement of narcissists.

In this sample, 76.9% of the women with a subsequent pregnancy reported that the same man fathered both the first and second pregnancy. This is a surprisingly high level of stability, given the fragility of the family unit.

***********************

I wouldn't define this as a high level of stability, given that the woman in question has aborted two of the father's children. If anything, it indicates to me that the relationship is extremely unstable.

I think it’s because women aren’t taught how to pick a good man. I have three sisters and each one recieved that instruction.
Quit hopping in the sack with any male that happens by.

The results of the study indicated that the most important factors in determining the women's choice to abort a second pregnancy were those associated with the father's inability or unwillingness to provide assistance in rearing the first child.

My son's birth-father was in prison serving a 3-4 year sentence by the time his birth-mother found out she was pregnant with him. She already had an infant at home, and another disabled daughter living with grandmother. Talk about a "crisis pregnancy!"

I thank God every day that she decided to spare his life in spite of her circumstances.

This is not news to me, as someone who worked at a CPC for years.

If they don’t know the dad. . .

if they don’t like the dad. . .

if the dad is a flake. . .

and most importantly, if the dad wants her to abort. . .

They abort, almost every time.

I don’t blame just the fathers. These women choose to have sex with men they don’t know, don’t like, or who are flaky.

Also, in defense of fathers, there have been a handful who have tried valiantly to get their girlfriends (it’s never their wives) to keep the baby.

But men, to keep abortion rates low, wait until you are married (most of the unmarried women who came to us HAD BEEN USING BIRTH CONTROL. It DOESN’T ALWAYS WORK) and be very, very suppportive should you impregnate somebody.

[wagglebee]

Wow, what a great story!

[fleagle]

Furthermore, marriage was a protective factor in determining the parents' decision to keep and raise their child.

I've seen this information before and am amazed, but not surprised, at how little attention it gets. The humanity-hating, anti-marriage, welfare-promoting left have pushed men and the importance of the family out of the picture and now they refuse to face the fact that these lefties (especially the women) are traitors to the very citizens they constantly tell us they are "empowering."

There's nothing empowering about a woman faced with aborting an unplanned pregnancy from a man she doesn't know, or trust. There's nothing empowering about a man who leaves a woman who becomes pregnant with his child because they're not married and he just doesn't care. It is not the natural order of things.

I don’t think the first child was aborted in all of these cases. In at least some of the cases, the father’s attitude towards the first child is the reason the woman is seeking the abortion of the second. I think they are loosely using stability to mean that the man and woman are involved in a long term relationship. Apparently, instability would be when the father of the first child is different from the father of the second. Interesting information, although I do not trust this website much.

I have mostly found that woman do not want to abort, that they do so out of fear. If that fear can be alleviated, they are much more likely to go ahead with the pregnancy.

How are men to be “supportive” when the law and the culture tell them that it’s none of their business whether the woman aborts?

The men throw up their hands and say “it’s your choice, that’s what we’ve been trained to think!” and the woman is left to make the decision over the life or death of her baby all on her own conscience.

[MrB]

Every policy of the left (doing Satan’s bidding) is anti-family.

The family is the primary target of evil, because it is the primary threat to his victory.

#6, further comment on that quote...just because it was the same father does not mean it is a “family unit”,either.

Absolutely correct!

[trisham]

Good point.

[ga medic]

I really don’t think the issue is marriage in and of itself.

Men who make good fathers are probably much more likely to get married. Men who continue a long term relationship with the mother of a child, that don’t want to get married are probably going to be lousy fathers.

There is kind of a catch-22 quality to this situation. Is it better to raise a child as a single mother or with a lousy dad?

[al_c]

But this can’t be true, can it? I thought that the top 3 reasons were rape, incest and endangerment to the mother. /s

At least that’s what the pro-aborts keep telling us.

Why are these stupid women then having sex and putting themselves in the position of getting pregnant by a man they believe is unwilling or unable to provide assistance in rearing children? I'm sorry, but the stupidity of this baffles me.
