Your wife is several months pregnant but there is a problem. If she has the baby, it could ultimately kill her. But she could survive, but it's not guaranteed. So you are left with the decision to abort the pregnancy or to risk it. What do you choose?
another scenario that is a bit dramatic, but your wife is pregnant and you've got 5 kids already. She just cannot have another baby. She tells you that she's getting an abortion and that if she goes through with the pregnancy, she might ultimately kill herself. What do you do? You love your wife and know that having 5 kids already is tough and you admit that another mouth to feed will make your situation at home pretty tough, and you can't consider adoption cause you could never give your child away. Do you choose to be selfish and make your wife go through with something she doesn't want, or do you allow her to choose because you love her so much and want her happiness?

First one, been there done that, the doctor told me I would die if I gave birth. I had her anyway, It was difficult, but as you can see I am alive and so is she.
Second, I would tighten by belt and keep this child no matter what.
It doesn't make sense to me that you would rather just kill the baby then give her up for adoption.
I'll take the kid and so would many others, my sister chooses to only have adopted children, she'd take the kid too.

Sounds like you have too many kids and want an abortion, I'm seeing another bathtub party with a Bible Thuper husband not helping, and here's my opinion and I'm talking in the theoretical.
If this girl has an abotion, she'll feel bad for a while but she'' get over it, she should probably get her tubes tied, since she has 5 kids and wants to make sure they get her attention and education etc. If her husband doesn't support her, he doesn't love her. Counseling will be recomended after ther abortion and tubal ligation.
When her kids are older she should work ad go to school since she is young enough.

I want six kids!
Our five kids miss their brother!
If this did happen, my wife and I would of course consider the un-born babe.
Being kind of slow, what problem at seven months would force a choice between an abortion or the life of my wife?

In this country the women has the right to her body. I don't think another mouth to feed is a reason at all. Were talking about a life. This isn't your pet dog or cat that is a mouth to feed. I would get the doctors chances of her dying. If she is going to die then I would leave up to her to decide. That can't be my decision to make.

To the top question. If that was ME, I would take death over the abortion of my baby. But that's just me. I actually made my husband swear on everything that was dear and holy that if it came down to me or the baby at ANY point and I couldn't make the choice for him to choose the baby.
To the second...get fixed geez. Preventative is worth much more. I got cut fried and tied after the twins. I knew I didn't want more. Why would I make myself even have to worry about it??

Been in the first situation, except it was my sister. My choice would be the same today as it was then - I've still got my sister, and she's looking to adopt because she cannot, safely, carry a child of her own.
For the second - it's her body, and I'm going to protect the familiy-I've-got over the family-I-might-have.

I would want my husabnd to choose the baby. There is still a chance i could make it, but if not then i know he won't be alone. He would have a small part of me and though it would be tough, it would eventually be a wonderful thing. Not to mention that if we did choose me, something could happen the next day and there wouldn't be a chance for anything.

Your question said "What Would You Choose?" I would have the baby, no matter what. Once you are pregnant, the baby's life and your wife's life are in God's hands. If a person gets pregnant after having 5 children, obviously, she knows what is causing it, and if she doesn't want to get pregnant, there are many, many ways to prevent it.

in this day and age there is absolutly no reason for a woman to get pregnant if she dose not want to.... but once the conception has taken place that is it... it is a humanbeing... to kill it is murder.
Any man who would impregnate his wife when he already has 5 is not a man, he is an overiflated ego that should compleatly lose the means to procreate and be made to sing the high notes.
The child must be the first priority.... period

No doubt about it, my wife comes first. I don't agree with abortion but I wouldn't want my wife to die either.
The second question is the same question is the same answer. I don't care if I had no kids...my wifes health would come first.
