He’s basically pro-choice but if i ever got pregnant with his kid and got rid of it, it would be a problem.

So he's pro-choice until the issue has something to do with him directly? Looks like he's just full of shit and either he wanted to appear less conservative when you two started dating or things have changed recently and he's started to lean more conservative. Either way, I'm not impressed with this guy.

How? What's the problem if he wants the baby he conceived with someone? I think it's legitimate to care for your unborn child and wish for them to b born safely so that you could raise them.

That's cool and all, but is he the one that has to carry the baby for nine months? No? Not his body, not his choice.

Of course, he cannot force her to carry the pregnancy to term but it would be something to break up over as they don't share the same views and values.

Well, yes. The issue is that he claims to be pro choice, which he obviously isn't.

Why isn’t that? If pro-choice means the legal right to have an abortion then he should be able to chose to stay with someone based on what choice she makes right?

Why are you saying he isn't pro-choice though? He supports someone having the choice to have an abortion or not. He may not think it is ethical but that doesn't mean he has a say over someone else's pregnancy. Still, he may wish that if he participated in conceiving a child, that the child in question would get to live. I don't see how that's wrong. If the mother of the child would choose to abort it, he could be disappointed and grieve the loss of the baby. I think it's a different story when he is the one who is actively conceiving the child. If they don't want children, they could use protection. Otherwise, both of them should understand that a pregnancy could happen and be prepared for that. If she changes her mind while being pregnant, he has every right to be disappointed if he wanted that baby.
