Unsure Mom to be with Dad that wants to abort

Hi There, Just recently found out I am 6 weeks pregnant with my boyfriend of 5 months. I have wanted a baby for quite a while now and was both excited and terrified when I found out I was expecting. My boyfriend has been well aware since day one that I was not on any birth control and we both made the decision to not use protection. Now that I am pregnant he tells me he does not want me to have this child as we are "not ready" being that we both have a bit of debt. His $25000 mine $15000. We both have steady jobs, both live on our own (not together at this point in time) and both have good reliable vehicles. He is really pushing me towards having an abortion (which I have done before and it was very hard on me emotionally). I am just wondering what others opinions are of my situation? I want to keep the baby but he does not.

Thank you everyone, I talked with him last night and told him I am keeping it and he needs to make a decision on what he wants to do next.

I was in the same situation where the father didn't want me to keep our baby. I too had an abortion before it was very emotional and I didn't wanna go thru that again. I made the decision to keep my baby and the father told me he wanted nothing to do with it. I am now 24 Weeks and I am very excited that I made the decision to keep my baby girl. It's his lost that he doesn't wanna be a part of her life but I have a huge support system. I say keep ur baby... It may hurt if he says he doesn't wanna be there but ur baby deserves a chance a life... U will quickly make a bond with ur baby and be so happy abt it! Good luck
