hi, I met a woman recently. she is a single mother of 6 yrs old. We straight away went onto unprotected sex on the first meeting, and then second one after 2 weeks, last night. I started sensing she wants to get pregnant and is not willing to take a contraceptive pill. What are my options if she get pregnant? Thank you.

Marry her and/or pay child support for 18 years, or go overseas.

Not many good options 2 weeks into a relationship.

Exactly what @Rod said.
Going by what you have said here, there are no circumstances where you would not be liable to pay Child Support.
And no, there are no circumstances where you could compel her to discontinue a pregnancy.
--> Whatever happens next is all, and only, on you.
