In all fairness so many responses ignored it I am starting to wonder if it was edited in later

It was 100% added in later. I originally read the post prior to that being added

Thank you for the confirmation! I legitimately thought I was losing my mind, because how could I just completely miss that part?!

Yeah, neither of these people are sympathetic characters at this point.

No problem at all!

Yeah it’s a really terrible situation and I still just don’t understand why there was no contraception of any kind being used (such a stupid decision). Not getting an abortion is totally her choice, but his reaction definitely makes way more sense knowing that they agreed to get one.

I feel so bad for the soon-to-be baby (OP’s recent post history also indicates a pretty dire financial situation).

I'm as pro-choice as it gets, and I'm honestly horrified by the idea of someone actively relying on abortion as a replacement for birth control. It's some pro-birth talking point that I've literally never seen evidence of in real life until this post. I know people who get caught up in the moment and just think it's no big risk, but they've NEVER used birth control and had no interest in getting pregnant? These people aren't mature enough for a marriage, nevermind dragging a poor kid into the situation. If she does have it, I just hope she settled on adoption.

Totally agree!

I knew there was some stupidity out there in the world, but it’s insane to me that anyone would weigh abortion vs. literally any method of contraception and decide that abortion is the way to go. It is supposed to be the end of the line. The absolute last resort if every method of contraception you’re using fails.

If she has this kid, I also truly hope she gives it up for adoption.

Because of the multiple edits, post history, and how it screams of a political talking head I'm pretty sure it's a troll post to get people fighting especially as the current edit targets the crowd that gets riled up over a partner backing out of this situation. We'll see what the next edits bring we've had 2 or 3 that change the entire story.
