What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Massachusetts
On May 20th I received a message from my former Girlfriend stating that she was 6 months pregnant with my child. She had told me that her Doctor told her that she had conceived in December which is when we were still together. She told me she would bring me the paperwork and ultrasound pictures the next day. Having not heard from her I messaged her and was ignored. I sent multiple messages afterword in an attempt to get any information I could but all were ignored. My Fiancé and I had both told her that we would do whatever it would take to obtain custody of the child and raise it in a stable and loving environment should it prove to be mine.
I was able to get in touch with her ex-husband and asked him if he could please have her contact me as she lives with his mother and grandmother. On May 31st he sent me a message saying that she was in fact 6 months pregnant and had gone as far as Maryland and had the child aborted.
I know her well and know there is no medical reason (other than her mental health which under Maryland law is not covered for matters such as this) that put the child's life in danger so my question is if there is anything I can do legally in this matter? I am unable to get in touch with her as her ex-husband understandably does not want to involve himself in this matter further. I have saved every message that I had initially received from her as well as those that I had sent to her that were ignored.
I have always been a kind person and would never harm a soul and to have this thrust upon me has hurt in ways I could never have imagined.
I thank you very much for your time.
