My partner and I had a one night stand, but now he doesn't want to take any responsibility for the pregnancy. Is there an ethical way to end this unwanted pregnancy without his consent?

In most cases, ending a pregnancy without the father's consent would be considered unethical. However, in some situations, it may be necessary if the mother's health is at risk or if the fetus has serious health abnormalities. If a mother decides to take this route, it is important to ensure all legal and ethical guidelines are met and to understand any implications it might have on her own health.

Unfortunately, without his consent there is no ethical way to end the pregnancy. In this situation, your best option is to speak to a reputable abortion provider and discuss your options. A good starting point is Planned Parenthood Federation of America which provides safe, legal abortions in many locations across the US. As well as providing information on financial assistance and support options. You can also seek advice from an experienced family law attorney who can explain the legal process for obtaining an abortion and help with any related issues such as establishing parentage if necessary. Ultimately, the decision will be yours and you should only take action that feels comfortable and right for you.
