I was married and got pregnant. Our youngest then was 11 years old, and this would have made 4 children living at home at the time. I didn't tell my husband I was pregnant because I was waiting for the 20 week mark so I could get an abortion. My husband was sick and getting worse, so I thought we didn't need this in our lives at the time. The morning I was supposed to go to the clinic, I told him where I was going. He talked me out of it, and I'm glad he did. He died six months after she was born. She gives me a smile, laughter, and joy every day. No, I didn't need his permission, and knowing how sick he was, it was tempting. But I know I would be sorry every day of my life if I would have done it. Besides, how would you feel if you were pregnant and your husband decided he didn't want a baby. You would have to stand by helpless while he killed it. Sounds horrible doesn't it. That is what you are doing to him and the baby. It seems like the easy way out, but it isn't.

If you are in one of this countries:
Egypt, Guinea-Bissau, Iran, Iraq, Japan, Republic of Korea, Kuwait, Malawi, Morocco, Nicaragua, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Turkey, and the United Arab Emirates
Yes.
If you are in the US, probably not. Some states do require spousal consent, but Pennsylvania's law was overturned by a Supreme Court Decision Planned ParentHood vs Casey.
10 States still have them on the books:
CO, FL, IL, KY, LA, ND, PA, RI, SC, UT but they're no longer enforcable.

Well hun, a family member of our's put her child up for adoption when she was "Seperated" from her husband, because it was antoher man's baby, but the father had to sign the adoption papers. And that was in the '60s', too. So, I would think, that you would have to have his permission. But, wouldn't you like to think twice, about it all together period? I mean, its only a matter of months away, and there's always 'Adoption'. You know. Rather than, having the 'guilt' of this human being's life on your consciense the rest of your life, you know. Also, my sister-in-law, went and got an abortion, when she first started to dating my brother, (before they ever got married), and later they did get married, and wanted children at that point, and because of the abortion, she couldn't have children at all !!! And now she has so many 'regrets' about it !!! The sad part about this all, is we dont have anyone in our imediate family, to carry on the family name. Because my brother is the only boy, of us six kids.... So , now we have no boys, or children at all from him to carrry on our name... And so they both take & treat their dogs as if their, their children, because they long for children so bad. They actually almost adopted children some years back, but something went wrong with that, so. They remain without children, and have so many regrets for that abortion now. So, hun, I just wish you could find a way to love this child growing inside of you, enough to know that choosing "Life" would be a life-changing" experience! And this baby will bring you & your husband so much "JOY!!" Please dont get an abortion. There so sad, and you feel so empty afterwards... Its not a good experience at all to go through I've heard......And as soon as its done, you will leave there feeling like you wish you hadn't done it at all. Trust me on this one.....choose "Life" not "Death".... Your baby will show you, your decision was not for nothing by choosing life... I'll say a prayer for you.. take care now. Smile!!!

no, but he should know. Especially if it is his baby.
Did you know that a large percentage of couples that abort their babies eventually divorce? Just think about that and the fact that if you do this, you will kill a child and you run the risk of complications that could keep you from ever having another baby. I think that you need to think about the consequences for all of you. It's not just about you, there is a baby and your husband involved.

I guess not.. Wouldnt you feel like you were keeping something HUGE from him for the rest of your life? Why wouldnt you want to tell him? I think he deserves to know...

No you dont need his signiture....He has no say what you do with your body...Do you need his signiture if you wanted to go sky diving(no)...So there you go you dont need his signature...My older sister thought the same thing...When she went there with her spouse they said he didnt have a say in it...He didnt want her to do it...

No and when you do get an abortion. You will ever so regret it and feel guilty at all times, so you might want to think bout it okay?

Don't know for certain, but if not, there is something terribly wrong with the laws in this country.
