Abortion Good or Bad???

My friend just found out shes pregnant and wants to get an abortion, im trying to talk her out of it. Im looking for ladies who've had an abortion and regret it. Please Help Me!!!

Abortion is not birth control. If she's perfectly healthy, she wasn't raped, and it wasn't a case of incest, she would be both selfish and immature to abort the child rather than to give it up for adoption. Two million U.S. couples are waiting to adopt babies.

Abortions are physically and mentally draining on women. She will never forgive herself. It will haunt her and break her heart for the rest of her life.

well sometimes it the thing you gotta do maybe she cant handle a child right now you know?

i've never had one but i would if i had to. if she's not old enough or mature enough or financially stable then why put a child through all that? it wouldn't be fair to her or the child.

Basically it is based on a persons morals. Who is to say that your actions are wrong when you see them as a right and so you must ask yourself that question in order to find out the true answer.

If she really wants to make the right decision, then have the baby, face up to her responsibilities, and give it up to a loving family for adoption. That was easy.

well in my opinion it depends for the reasons why someone wants to abort, so if the were raped then that is a good reason but if they just want to abort because they think they made a mistake then they shouldnt unless they are putting themselves or the baby in any danger... if thats not the case then they shouldnt have open their legs in the first place!

I would try to understand her point and where she is coming from. Maybe there are unseen reasons as to why she is wanting the abortion. I can't say it is good or bad. I see it as both.
You can give her more options, like placing the baby up for adoption. There is a family that can't have children of their own but would really like a child. Alot of parents that want to adopt are willing to pay for all expenses.
I would really just try to support her on this.

Don't believe in abortion. She knew what she was doing when she did the act than she should have the baby and face up to consequences or give it up for adoption. UNLESS, of course, she was rape or her own life would be in danger but even then, you could always give it up and/or do as much as you can to protect what you created.

She wouldn't exist if her own mother would have had an abortion when she was pregnant with her...now think about it. (It's cruel, no matter how you see it...life begun no matter how small it is.)

When I was 19,I had an abortion,& really never got over the guilt...& that was almost 30 yrs ago.I have a 25 yr-old,& a 6 yr-old,and recently widowed.My youngest was totally against all odds[Iwas on the pill,advanced maternal age..etc]but my son has been my joy,strength,and all that has kept me faithful...since my husbands death.I forgive myself now,for being young,stupid&selfish...but,this child,could be your friends greatest gift

No one but God has the right to take a human life. Your friend lied down and made the baby, now either raise it or put it up for adoption to someone who can't have kids. don't just throw it away cause it's an inconveniece to you. Do you know how they do abortions? they reach in and piece by piece pull off arms and legs, then crush it's skull before taking it out so they can say it was dead. They can't let it come out then kill it. Think about that.

Bad its killing and after you have the child put him/her up 4 adoption

Tell her its bad tell her she got a baby tell her to open her eyes tell her that she got into trouble and made a human being tell her to go through have the baby love, take care of it, and make sure her kid doesn't make the same mistake she did. Tell her she cant make someone in 1 second alive and into the world and in another second make her mind to destroy it. Tell her to open ehr eyes i suggest she talks to someone about. Good Luck!

Whether you think it's good or bad is irrelevent and her decision on this matter is none of you business. I don't like abortion, but I'm not going to tell a woman how she should make life changing decisions either. If you talk her out of it and she regrets having the baby, she'll blame you and you'll have ruined the friendship. If she decides to go through with it, be supportive but dont tell her "I told you so" if she has regrets, it will make her feel worse and you won't be any better for it. Don't judge her. If you're a true friend you will listen, not judge and keep your opinions to yourself. And gently suggest afterwards that she instead get on birth control so she never has to go through that again. The pill is available for free at any clinic.

It is a personal decision. She will have to decide herself and live with that decision the rest of her life. All you can do is make sure she knows all of her options and if you are a true friend you will stand by her no matter what she decides to do. If rape or incest are not how she got pregnant, she could consider giving the baby up for adoption if she doesn't to raise it herself. How does the father feel about it? He does have a right to know about it and have an opinion in whether or not the child lives. You never know, maybe he will want to raise the baby.

good or bad?? horrible!

I have had an abortion and I do not regret it one bit.
Seriously, you are not a good friend if you are using emotional blackmail to get her to change her mind. Whether she aborts or not is HER decision, NOT yours. You WONT have to live with any of the consequences whatsoever.
Please, be a GOOD friend and SUPPORT her in whatever decision she makes. It is not a time to drag your morals into it. It is her call.
