Well this thread is kind of like a train wreck. One cannot help but watch.
Firstly let me start by saying a few things without singling specific men out:
To those who have said they would take part of the responsibility. My hat is off to you. You are better men then many.
For those who would drive her to a clinic or pay for a procedure... Do you intend to cover her down time?
To those who think there is no choice and the decision should be automatically decided in favour of aborting the fetus... How absolutely profound that you would feel you have the ability to make a decision for another, or the right to insist it be carried through.
Let me put this in perspective and really discuss the actual abortion:
Abortion means a minimum number of weeks with no intercourse (2 week checkups are important to ensure the cervix has properly closed after certain procedures). The range varies based on the information given by a clinic from 1 - 3 weeks usually but some are told up to 6 weeks.
Abortion can also cause many emotional and mental health issues for a woman, even if she enters into it with a clear mind, and it is not something she considers wrong in any way. Most places require her to undergo pre-abortion consultation, and to be honest if they feel it would harm her mentally and emotionally they can and will prevent the abortion from happening though this is rare.
Failure to comply with proper after care can lead to a serious infection.
In approximately 2 out of every 100 procedures they miss some "materials" during the procedure, and they will need to do another to remove those materials.
Hemorrhaging is a risk for this procedure. It happens for about 1 in every 1000 or so, and tends to happen during the procedure or right after which is why a woman cannot go for the procedure "alone" or she will not be allowed to leave.
We can't forget the 1 in 1000 who have a failed abortion which requires a second procedure. Usually in women who have a retroverted or tipped uterus.
And lastly let's not forget there is risk of puncture to the uterus (though most are minor and require no repair... not all are).
But hey... HER BODY HER CHOICE RIGHT?
Now on to someone specific:
themexi... I understand that you feel strongly. I wish you could take a step back, and not be so vehement in your posts on this matter as I feel you are now responding without hesitation, and purely out of being caught in 2 threads that makes you want to rant, rave, and post like a mad man.
While I understand your want and need to avoid being tangled up in a situation you feel is not of your own making... I am going to say the risk of it happening to you is extremely low. I would also like to put something in perspective for you:
The fake number, with a fake name is a grand thought. Anonymity is a wonderful thing, yet at the same time the adamant stance that she know nothing about you makes me have two thoughts:
Firstly I have always said if you worry about her having your number/name what are you doing putting your most prized body part near her? This is a prime reason why men are robbed, or run into complicated situations in this hobby. Try staying with reputable women for a change. It may make you feel better.
Secondly I would like to politely remind you that there have been a number of women who have been seriously injured by men they have seen professionally. If someone is requesting your information it is for her safety... Not blackmail, or paternity.
On my final note I would like to say that no matter the circumstances of conception... Not all single mothers go on the system, and not all single mothers want financial support from the paternal DNA donor. It is her choice. Reality is many women do feel it is "the right thing" to inform the biological father, but not all of them want anything to do with your finances. Taking a penny of your money would potentially enable you to petition for parental rights and access which in turn may be one of the most abhorrent things she can come up with! Oh how I love the other perspective at times.
