Re: Pregnant GF
[ QUOTE ]
How far do we take this? I've had conversations with friends about what we'd do if we won the lottery. One of my friends has said he'd buy me a sweet car. Has he wronged me somehow if after winning the lottery he doesn't buy me a car? I think I'd be a fool to assume that what we talked about constituted some sort of binding agreement, because there was little at stake during those conversations.

BC,
This is honestly a pretty ridiculous comparison. Joking with your friends about winning the lottery is much different than soberly making it clear to your partner that you will get an abortion if you become pregnant.
And in fact, if a friend told me, quite seriously, that he would buy me a car if he won the lottery, and then refused to pay up if he in fact did win the lottery, then yeah, I'd consider that breaking his word, and cut off the friendship.
