If one person (female) wants an abortion and the man wants to keep the baby?

Realistically can it survive if the abortion goes ahead?

Added info - no reason not to keep the baby other than the woman is not ready / poor mental health

Tbh if one person wants something different then no.

It depends, I think, on exactly what his attitude is. If he's saying that were it up to him, he would love to have the baby, but he appreciates that it is NOT up to him, and he will respect and support the woman's choice, then it could work.

This actually happened to me a few years ago. Gotten pregnant literally the month after I'd stopped taking the pill and I only stopped because of a medical reason.we wanted kids but I really wasn't ready. I'd had a very tough year (job loss, health issues) and was depressed and we did c bicker a lot. I lost the plot when I found out I was pregnant, went to my parents and as I could still not cope a few weeks later I decided to have an abortion. My husband was devastated and angry but at the time I just couldn't go through with it and if that meant losing him then that I was ready to accept that (although very upset).,
We're still together because we'd got space from each other, both agreed to sit down a and talk a couple of months later and had a few sessions with a couple's counselor. It worked out because we both wanted it to and were prepared to take each other's feelings into account. We now have an amazing daughter. I'd say the reasons matter and the way the discussion is dealt with...
