QUESTION
What are the best options to prevent my girlfriend from abortion?
Asked on Sep 18th, 2013 on Child Custody - Oklahoma
More details to this question:
My girlfriend of 3 years and I have found out that she is pregnant. She'll be going on 5 weeks and I'm very excited. She, on the other hand is not. She says that she doesn't want to keep it and she doesn't like adoption. I'm not crazy about adoption either. We both know it's mine. I don't want her to get an abortion but I don't want her to do something out of guilt or obligation.

There is nothing you can do to prevent a woman from getting an abortion if she desires to have one. I am sorry.

Sorry, you can do nothing until the baby is born. She has the right to decide whether to carry the child or not. If she will, then you can take custody if she wants or work out a family adoption. But until, you have no say.

You cannot stop her from getting an abortion.

You can attempt to persuade, but you can not prevent her making that decision. You do not indicate your age or hers, so it's not possible to know if you face any legal ramifications in addition to emotional ones.
