Kourtney Kardashian is expecting her first child with on-again, off-again boyfriend Scott Disick, and tells PEOPLE how she made the decision to keep the baby.
"I definitely thought about it long and hard, about if I wanted to keep the baby or not, and I wasn't thinking about adoption," she said.
"I do think every woman should have the right to do what they want, but I don't think it's talked through enough. I can't even tell you how many people just say, 'Oh, get an abortion.' Like it's not a big deal," she added.
Disick, for his part, has been supportive. The couple split after two years of dating last November, but got back together shortly after Kourtney found out she was pregnant.
"He wanted me to talk about it more, but I just kept to myself. He said, 'I really want you to keep it, but I will support you whatever you decide to do,'" she described of Scott's input.
Then the reality star turned to her friends for advice.
"I called my best friend crying, and I was like, 'I don't know what to do.' She said, 'Call your doctor, and at least find out the risks and stuff.'"

Then she took her search for answers to the Internet. "I looked online, and I was sitting on the bed hysterically crying, reading these stories of people who felt so guilty from having an abortion. I was reading these things of how many people are traumatized by it afterwards."
By then, her decision was made. "I was just sitting there crying, thinking, 'I can't do that.' And I felt in my body, this is meant to be. God does things for a reason, and I just felt like it was the right thing that was happening in my life."
"For me, all the reasons why I wouldn't keep the baby were so selfish: It wasn't like I was raped, it's not like I'm 16. I'm 30 years old, I make my own money, I support myself, I can afford to have a baby. And I am with someone who I love, and have been with for a long time."
No it's kill a baby....they are little human beings. People forget that we were all once that size. Life begins at conception, if you don't believe me....do the research!!!!!
KOURT, YOU DO WHAT'S GOOD FOR YOU. THE HELL WHAT EVERYONE ELSE THINKS. SLEEPLESS NIGHTS, DIAPERS, BOTTLES, ETC. IT IS A 18+ YEAR COMMITMENT ONLY YOU CAN MAKE. ARE YOU READY?
Wow, you guys are some horrible people. Such critics! Who cares, its not your life, if it boters you so much dont pay attention to her or her lifestyle, shes a celebrity, not a friend!
I can't stand all these holier then thou people judging this girl..i applaud hr for making a good decision..we are all not saints and listening to her reasoning made me feel so much better..she thought it through..she could've felt like oh abortion is not a big deal but she does'nt and i respect that tremendously..I applaud you God bless you and your baby..sounds like you have a good head on your shoulders..and her celebrity or how she is a celebrity has no bearing on this topic..she is human and so is her baby..God bless!!
I am so glad she thought threw it and looked at the effects of everything. I wish her the best, a safe pregnancy, a great stable relationship, and much love as she takes this adventure into Mother Hood. God Bless.
First of all I think Kourney did the right thing, everything happens for a reason. Second that person that called you a troll needs to grow up and watch what they say about someone they dont even know. What comes around goes around and you just might be in kourtney's shoes one day. So Congradulations to you Kourtney and Scott you will see your baby for the first time and know you made the right decision. :)
You pro-life idiots... what business of it is yours if someone else decides to terminate their pregnancy? If there is a god who actually cares, it will judge them in the end. Mind your own business. Is abortion a pleasant thing? No, it's not, but life doesn't stop after birth. If you want abortion outlawed, then be prepared to adopt all of the unwanted children that will be born into this world as a result.
She made the decision that seems to be best for her. Only time will tell. With that being said, some of you are the same people who criticize people on welfare who get pregnant and DO NOT choose abortion. Are you saying money is what motivates you? So it is okay to get pregnant by ?accident as long as you got money to hire a nanny? Finally, I am pro-choice. That does NOT mean I support abortion. It means I respect the right of any woman to have a choice as to what is best for them.
SHE PLANNED A BABY BECAUSE BIRTH CONTROL IS SO AVAILABLE SO SHE PLANNED AN ABORTION OR A RELATIONSHIP SHE USED IT TO GET THE MAN THESE ARE THE KIND OF FOLKS WHHO SHOULD NEVER HAVE CHILDREN THEY GROW UP TO BE JIUST LIKE THE PARENTS THAT WHOLE FAMILY IS A ZERO
Keeping the baby (person) is absolutely the right thing to do! They are truely a blessing, and from strictly a science standpoint, that is a real a person in the womb. I am all for womans rights in every aspect, but I'm also for the rights of the unborn. We all started our lives from the point of conception, and when we talk about the unborn, the only difference is age and location. Finally, I've talked to a number of woman who've had an abortion, and it's very rare to find any who don't deeply regret their decision. (This also holds true for many men who have participated or encouraged a woman to terminate her pregnancy.)
She's another Hollyweird Ho. If you don't want the baby, give it up for adoption...there are plenty of people out there that would love to raise your child & give it lots of love. You can say abortion, but it's killing!! If I go out today and stab someone to death, I get thrown in jail....I killed someone, it's a crime. Oh but it's ok, if you don't want to be pregnant, to kill your baby?? I don't think so!! It's the same thing! If you don't want a pregnancy to occur, keep your clothes on & zipped, and ladies keep your legs closed! And anyway, damn these "celebrities" are fertile, it appears they get knocked up with barely any effort at all! My husband & I have been trying to conceive since February, it's not THAT easy! Why are these un-wed people just poppin' them out left and right??!!!
It has been proven that a fetus is a developing life starting with fertilization. Also Known As conception Should not that life prevail AKA be in existence. One which would be espoused in preference to alternatives by all rational people. Comfort is not a good reason to abort. Life is a condition that distinguishes organisms from inorganic objects,

If ur not ready to deal with the consequences of having sex then u shldnt b having sex!!!! If u get pregnant then u did it to urself because we all know what could happen when u have sex so its ur own fault not the unborn babies abortion shouldnt b allowed to women who just didnt care enough or werent careful enough during sex to have an abortion and not only that even if u were careful we all know what could happen so unless u were raped or something like that abortion should b outlawed

I am too. She would regret that decision if she did kill her baby. I'm glad she saw the situation for what it was. :)

God bless you.
