If both parents agree on it is it ok? And what if one parent will take sole custody of the baby should this be allowed against the others wishes, married or single!

People she didnt ask if its ok. She asked if only one of the parents of the unborn baby wanted an abortion would it be ok. I think it is up to the women. She should not be forced into any decision she doesnt want to. It is her body and hers alone. I am pro-choice for the reason that I DO NOT want the government telling me what to do with my own body. Do I think abortion is right? No I think it is cruel, but I could never be angry at someone to have one. It IS there choice after all.
Now with that being said...do whatever YOU want. If you feel the need to have an abortion, do it. If you are being forced, dont let them. Good luck in any decision that you make!

I would say give your partner the same consideration that you would want to be shown. Because after you become pregnant then its not about your body or his body, its about anothers body and what your choice is to do with it. And you may be suprised that your decision which was once thought to be soooo simple is not that easy after all. The outside world continues to move on even after you have had an abortion both partners need to be prepared for the emotional attachment that will be forever imbedded into the back of your minds. Five years from now when you are near a school playground and the kids are all playing at recess you will even if only for a second think about what your child would have looked like, and because the years don't stop your emotional maturity will have added a few tears to your memory, and if not then you know in your heart that you did the right thing.

Abortion is never OK...I don't care WHO agrees on it. If the man agreed to take sole custody, I think it's a very noble and wonderful idea, but he would still have to convince the woman to have a heart and a soul, and carry the baby to term. I've always wondered about women who have abortions. I believe, deep down, that if they thought about it and weighed the options, once they delivered the baby to term and were ready to put him/her up for adoption, they'd have a change of heart. I think abortion is the easy way out for some people, and it's those same people who have never delivered a baby, and had it's tiny body wriggling and crying, lying on their stomach immediately after birth. When a baby looks straight at you with those dark, dark blue eyes, there's no other feeling in the world that I can compare it to.

I am against abortion if there is no rape or illness or risk of death for the mother.
And in case you are thinking on aborting, first go to a counselor or ask a professional.
And yes, I think that if you believe there is no other choice than to abort, then try to make your mate a participant of the decision. It is recommendable that both agree.
All the guilt is carried by the woman, it may help if her mate agreed with the decision, if not, there may be a double burden.

Both parents should agree. It takes 2 to make it and should make 2 to end it. Because I don't believe in abortion for other reasons than death, rape and severe medical issues, if the man wants to take it and the woman doesn't want it, then let him take it and raise it with the stipulation that there will be no child support. If the woman wants to keep it and he doesn't then understand that no child support will be given. It is the womans body so she should be the one to say. Whatever decision you make, be sure you are ready for the consequences of that choice.

Abortion is not the answer if you really don't want this baby give him/her up for adoption, i have a baby girl and she is the best thing that has happened to me, give another person a chance to raise your beautiful child if you arn't ready to take the step.
We are such a selfish generation give the child the right to live

It boils down to what the mother wants. In an ideal situation, both parents should agree, but the woman is carrying the child and her word is final.

Both parents should agree. It is a women's body and she should have final say but I would hope she would take her partners opinion into account.

No. It's the female's choice because she is the one that has to go through the entire process of carrying and delivering the child. If she doesn't want to do it, then she shouldn't have to do it.
