First. This is not your decision. You can give your input and your thoughts on the matter. But it boils down to "her body, her choice".

I got my girlfriend preggers when I was very young... well not Jerry Springer young but when I was 20. I was a drunk, crazy, fuck anything that moves sort of guy. Got arrested on a semi regular basis and was generally a complete fuck up..... but thats besides the point.

The point is me and her had broken up and three days later I got the news... holy shit!!!! My first instinct was to run like hell. I was in no positon to be a father. But at the very same time I knew I now had a responsibilty like never before. We covered all the options, abortion, adoption and keeping the child. My thoughts were... girl you can't even change the damn cat litter much less raise a fuckin child. But she made the choice to keep it.

To say this event changed my life would be an understatement. I remained an ass of all trades for about the first 9 months of his life. The GF and I tried to reconcile our differences and do the right thing. Biggest mistake of my life right there. Talk about 2 people living together in misery. I moved out cause I didn't want the child raised around two people who just yelled at eachother.
I shortly "changed my ways" I quit drinking and made the child my focus. 11 years later I now have my son every weekend and all summer. I take him skiing in the mountains and camping in the great woods. While all my other friends are just learning how to change diapers I'm teaching my kid how to shoot a bow and arrow.

Oh yeah and I got two more of em too.
