What would you do? - Pregnant woman

[articx]

What would you do? You're at a restaurant and overhear the conversation of a couple. The girlfriend reveals to her boyfriend she is pregnant and intends to get an abortion. The boyfriend begs her not to do it, and says he will raise the child as a single father. The conversation continues until the girlfriend becomes angry and walks away.

The girlfriend reveals to her boyfriend that she is pregnant, and decided to keep the baby but the boyfriend disagrees. He thinks she should get an abortion, and after failing to change her mind, becomes angry and abandons her at the restaurant.

What am I supposed to do?  Ain't my business.  I certainly wouldn't get involved in a private conversation like that.  It's up to them to work it out.  The woman is the one who will carry it and deal with the consequences either way.  How is it mine or anyone else's place to get involved with something like that?

There's nothing, personally, I could do for this girl.  However, I can get up and congratulate her on choosing life, instead of taking the "easy" way out, which is what too many young people do these days.

The only thing I could  do in either case is offer advice, and point them in the direction of others that could help them.

I would look at both of them and say "See what happens when you don't use protection!!? Now man up and be the best parents you could be! I am living proof that this can work out in your best interest!! I was a single mother at 17 and survived and I don't regret a thing! Now my boy is finishing college and will become a law enforcement officer and I am the proudest mother alive! OR you could take the easy way out and end up with NO baby, no future with your unborn child and always wonder "WHAT IF"!"

Makes ya think....huh!?

Kimber,thats a nice story about LIFE!!!

You get my vote for being a GREAT MOM!!!

I would pretend that I wasn't "eaves dropping" on the conversation and I would stay out of it.  If either of them wants to discuss this issue with someone they probably wouldn't be willing to discuss it with a stranger in a restaurant.  We need to wait until someone come's to us to ask for suggestions or advice in a situation like this.

Seeing as how it would be none of my business I would mind my own business.  Getting involved in disputes between other couples will only lead to trouble for yourself.

I would do nothing.  I don't know these people and it is none of my business.  I don't think either one of them would appreciate any advice from a total stranger.

If I'm the one over heard that conversation I will turn to them right away and congratulate them if I'm fast enough while that guy stilled there because sometimes hear congratulation from other stranger can flip inside of un-decided person and made them feel proud so they can take full responsibility..

Honestly, the decision is between the two. It's they're business.

[mardukblood2009]

This is another reason why I eat at home so I don't have to listen to nonsense like this.

[texasmom32]

I would continue eating.  It's between the two of them.  It's not even like either of them sounded unsure about their decision or as if they needed advice.  They both had their minds made up.  They get to choose how to live their lives.

[countrygirl12]

texasmom, while that is true the choices they make effect others and will from now on.

While personally it is none of my business, I would congratulate the mother to be on choosing to give that baby life.  If she wants the baby but he doesn't, she can choose to give the baby the best life she can on her own.
