Another "What if" scenario game!

Ok, lets say you and your girlfriend/boyfriend were getting it on, and y'all were using protection but the protection failed and two weeks later one of y'all is pregnant. Now the person who is pregnant is not going to have an abortion so that person will carry the child to term. What will you do?

Personally I would buy an apartment, have the woman come live with me. I would then get a part time job while going to grad school, and I would try to be there for her, and for my child, and I would take an active role in the child's life as the father, and as the woman's husband, boyfriend, whatever she wants me to be.

What about you guys?

I suppose pushing the pregnant chick down the stairs at the beginning of the third trimester is out of the question, right? In that case, probably get married, try to raise a family, then divorce withing five years or so and go broke paying alimony and child support.

Nice question, Wilgrove, thanks for playing. Next!

I personally would NOT want a guy to start off a conversation with "will you marry me?" after telling him I was pregnant. (I'd probably start laughing..followed by a "no")This isn't the olden days where it was socially unacceptable to be an unwed mother. I'm not saying marriage wouldn't come into play later on but getting married to someone just because you are having a child is just stupid. I will marry for love..not because of a child. If I don't love the person I'm married to and if he doesn't love me..I'd be in my own personal hell. I do not believe in divorce.

Men can't get preggars. Assuming a woman got preggars, I'd charge her with rape, and would therefore be legally exempt from having to contribute to the child. I hate kids. They're shits.

Umm k, you do realize that you voluntarily had sex with this woman right? So I doubt the "rape" charge would hold up in ANY court, except in Bizzaro world.

I won't assume that because the great boon of gay sex is no unwanted pregnancy.

Ok for gays or lesbian, lets say your partner adopted a child, then what would you do?

Well, first off, I'd be a little annoyed because I'd have been trying to put off having children until I could fully support the child, but after I got over that, I'd stick with her. No way in hell would I ever abandon my kid, no matter whom I had s/he with.

I'd marry her and probably become abusive after the first year. Or maybe I'd be able to hold out 'til the second kid. It's hard to say...

I am under no obligation to co-adopt, but since I've always wanted a kid and if it were a stable relationship, I probably would.

I'm afraid I don't have nearly enough information to answer that. I don't know my hypothetical partner's financial situation or how committed our hypothetical relationship is. I also don't understand why abortion is automatically off the table. Depending on circumstances, it might be absolutely irresponsible not to consider that as an option.

I would not voluntarily have sex with a woman. Ergo, it'd be rape.

Lucky bugger.

Anyway, I've actually thought about this one. Few of the options are good.
I hadn't thought of The Mindset's suggestion ("Cry Rape! And let slip the dogs of law."), but it's a good one. Unfortunately, in a long-term relationship, unlikely to work.
The other not-bad one... Did you know that large doses of vitamin C can be used to cause an abortion? If I were doing the cookery it'd probably be well worth a try. I'm sure I could think of some other things to help it on its way (parsley helps, apparently).
The other options range between murder and suicide, so it's probably best not to discuss them.

QFT. Better to raise the kid on one's own, give it up for adoption, or even abort than "trap" someone into a relationship they may not be ready for (after all, if they'd wanted to marry you, wouldn't they have proposed already?)

Hm. What sort of protection is it? With some kinds (condom ripping or slipping, diaphragm slipping etc.) you can tell immediately and a trip to the emergency room for Plan B is all that's necessary to greatly reduce the chance of impregnation.

If my boyfriend and I were to have sex that resulted in pregnancy, and the person who was pregnant was not going to have an abortion, then I would pretty much be busy trying to figure out how the hell my boyfriend got knocked up.

Okay, so for the sake of this convo we assume that a man can get knocked up. Fair enough.

My partner knows that I don't want to have children. I mean, he knows I REALLY REALLY do not want to have children. If he were to become pregnant via sex with me, and if he were to choose to keep the child, I would expect him to understand that our relationship with each other would be over, permanently. Far from proposing marriage, I would break up with him on the spot. I would be more than willing to do my part as parent to the child, since it's not the poor kid's fault, of course, and I would support my (ex)boyfriend as a friend throughout his pregnancy, but that's where it would end.

Well, and I'd also do my best to exploit his amazing man-pregnancy for financial gain. But that should go without saying. :D
