Dear Pastor,
I have read so many of your columns and you always give good advice. I hope you will be able to help me. I am pregnant for a married man whom I've been with for 3 years. I will be 18 this month, but I've already had an abortion when I was 15 years old.
My first option was to have another abortion, but considering that I've done it before, I don't know if it would be safe. If my boyfriend was willing to support the child, I would have the child, but he's not willing and is now blaming everything on me.
Can you please give me your fatherly advice? Thank you so much.

Dear K. A.,
Please do not have another abortion. Carry the pregnancy. Although he is blaming you, it is both of you who are responsible for this pregnancy. Let him know that you are not going to have another abortion. This guy probably doesn't want his wife to know that he has fathered another child; therefore, he is begging you to terminate the pregnancy. Don't do it.
Inform your parents of the situation and ask them for help.
Pastor
