I had abortions with my boyfriend and my health got worse because of it. Him and I signed a paper that states that he will be responsible of taking care of me and if he fails, there will be a penalty of a certain amount of money. This was just to ensure me to get an abortion but now he's completely mia. Is there a way I can use this against him?

Thank you for your question today. I appreciate your patience while I responded to you.
Unfortunately, that's not a legally binding agreement. Your boyfriend has no duty to support you financially or otherwise, just as you have no duty to support him. There is no violation of your rights in this instance, and nothing that would form the basis of a lawsuit.

He has forced me to get abortions and now he is not being responsible of anything. Is there anything I can do about this? Its just unfair.
Unfortunately, there's not. While you say he forced you, presumably you are an adult capable of giving your own consent. At any time you could have said no, told the doctor you've changed your mind, refused to have the procedure done, etc. If he had held you down and forced you to undergo the procedure, that would be different, but from a legal standpoint, there's no cause of action because you agreed to have abortions and now regret that decision.
