Hi, Autumn,
Abortion is the WORST of the choices open to your best friend. It could kill her, cause her to become severely disabled (even a "vegetable"), cause her to be unable to have any children in the future, cause her to develop breast cancer (which kills 1/4 of the time) while she is still young. The list of possible medical consequences is a mile long! Nobody talks about it, but women are dying every day from supposedly safe abortions. Most of the abortionists shouldn't even be practicing medicine, and if the health department visited their facility, they'd shut it down! And if that weren't bad enough, a woman's risk of dying a violent death in the year following abortion is 3 1/2 times what it would be if she carried to term. Women are victims of suicide, homicide, being in a fatal traffic accident, dying from drug use, just all kinds of ways. Don't abandon her to abortion! She deserves better.
Find a local crisis pregnancy agency, and drag her to talk to them if you must! You can find one in the yellow pages under "Abortion alternatives" or by going here:
pregnancycenters.org
If you can get her to come "talk" to us, we'd love to talk to her! There are much better answers. She made one mistake; don't let her make two!
I had a friend who told me she was pregnant twice. Once she had an abortion, and once she placed her child for adoption. Of the two, as agonizing as adoption can be, she said it was infinitely better than abortion! I have talked to so many women who tell me, sometimes years later, not a day goes by that I don't think of my baby. Just a couple of weeks ago, and woman told me, "I want my baby back!" She had had an abortion. Obviously, that isn't going to happen, but she wouldn't be comforted. Some women come to me in the depths of despair, and I honestly think a couple of them actually committed suicide. One time I didn't check my email for about 6 hours. I think that woman did. I was her last resort!
DON'T LET HER DO IT! Please! BE a friend to her. You know they say friends don't let friends drive drunk. Well, friends don't let friends have an abortion.
Pray for your friend. Give her plenty of hugs. Be there for her.
Come and talk to us any time. We will be here.
Hugs,
Pat
