Abortion.

I'm 21 weeks along and I love my little girl so much. My boyfriend and I are fighting tooth and nail to give this baby a good future. My best friend just found out she's pregnant. Her boyfriend is a scum bag. He wants her to get an abortion. He talked her into getting one if she can. He doesn't want to step up to be a parent. It hurts me really bad because I'm doing everything I can for my baby, but she won't even try for hers. I want to support her, but if she really goes through with getting one, I don't know if I want to be apart of her life. I don't know if I could be. So I'm stuck...

I agree dont abandon her. I had one at 18 and without my friends I dont think I would have made it thru the way I did. I swore I would never do it again because it made me feel so horrible but I know I wasnt ready for a baby but I still regret it. Sit down with her and have a talk about how you feel and that her man should not be the one to make this decision. But if she still wants to shes going to need you

I am completely against abortion. I hate it. I wish it didn't exist. With that said, I don't think you should abandon your friend if she choses to have an abortion. Tell her how you feel about it. Encourage her to have this baby but in the end she will make up her own mind. Either choice she makes will be hard and she will need someone to talk to and to love her. You can see from eknh3's story how much of a load your friend will deal with if she makes that decision, she won't need friends turning their backs on her too. It'll be hard but love her through her faults. :)
I hope and pray for the best!

To eknh3- I'm sorry for your lost. I pray that God will give you peace and you'look know that your little baby is safe and home in Heaven. :)

I had an abortion when I was 20..it was the worst thing I ever did. The baby daddy also convinced me to have it. I went through years of hating myself depression and anger. I got lost in a world of drugs. Then by the grace of God when I was 28 God blessed me with another chance to be a mother and I had my little girl.the following year I had my son and now I am currently pregnant with baby number 3 another boy..but the sadness and hurt still follows me for the horrible decision I made 12 years ago. I urge you to share my story with your friend. Most likely her choice to terminate will haunt her for years to come

Talk to her about adoption, otherwise I would do the same thing you are. I wouldn't be able to talk to her, I wish people didn't look at abortion as a quick, easy out. If she is unable to properly care for the baby, there are a lot of people who can't have kids and would love nothing more than to take hers as their own.

I told her that when she came to visit me (I moved five hours away, and she thought she might be pregnant because she didn't get her period for two months) and I had her on board with at least adoption. Then she went home and got the confirmation that she is indeed pregnant, and her boyfriend convinced her otherwise. I'm secretly hoping that she's too far along to get one.

I can see where your coming from, your little girl is your life now, you are over the moon ready to hold her and love her more than anything else in the world. Though, your friend, it's not really hit her that she's really having a baby and her bf is not helping. Maybe if you explain to her that your help her, that abortion is not her only opposition. She might not be ready to be a mom yet, though a lot of lady's are. She could give up for adoption. Just talk to her and tell her there's better oppositions than killing a little person hasn't had a chance to live yet.
