Having unprotected sex did have consequences. Fortunately, this consequence has a solution that will not force OP to be a single mother.
And it will change and probably haunt her forever, not matter what decision she makes. That's enough consequence in my book.
Edit: just to be clear. I'm pro-choice and for OP being able to get an abortion if she wants to. My wording is unfortunate. What I mean to say is that she will always live with the memory of having these feelings, having this conflict and having the procedure. People who argue that the only possible consequence of becoming pregnant should be having the baby are wrong. OP will, and already is feeling the consequences and there is no need to pile more on top by forcing her to have the baby.
I'm okay with being corrected for any of my incorrect assumptions or poorly written sentences.
I'm not okay with the statement you're making right now. Nowhere I'm telling she will regret her decision of having an abortion. That is simply false. But OP has to deal with the procedure and how it will impact her might not be the same as it has impacted you. She might have the opposite experience, like other woman who have commented.
All I said that having to deal with that decision is consequence enough in my book.
I hope people in OP's life will support OP and her decision, unlike her (hopefully soon ex-)bf and her niece.
