Has a man ever told you to abort

Has a man ever told you to abort or keep a pregnancy?

I was speaking to my friend about this and her husband all but blackmailed her into having an abortion years ago, something my own mother went through. I can think of a handful of other women who were asked/pleaded to abort and did or didn't by the male who got them pregnant as though the decision was as easy as what to have for dinner.

Wtf is up with that?

No, but happened to my sister. She terminated.

I was told to at 16 by an abusive boy. He said he'd kick it out if I didn't. Kept because family don't permit abortions and I'd be on the street otherwise.

I think it's too common. Men afraid of child support that they'll never pay anyway.

Yes then he finished with me anyway
He really messed about with my mental health-turns out that not only would his ‘ex’ wife wouldn’t have been impressed but neither would his new girlfriend
I lost the baby a few weeks later and he came snivelling back-I promptly had a nervous breakdown and he fled
Not seen him since-and I don’t care enough to look him up on sm or anything

I was asked why I didn't abort after contraception failed. He then apologised then tried to convince me that it was a better idea and I only wanted a baby for the social life!
Told him "my body and baby is a part of me.. you can be involved if you wants to or you can back away" but my decision was made ..... he now tries to convince me he is the better parent- even though he sees our son 26 days a year.

Yes, my ex wanted me to get an abortion. Said he'd kill himself. Ds is 7 and the best thing that ever happened to me. His dad has nothing to do with him.
