Should my friend get an abortion?

:toetap: My friend is 17 and her and her boyfriend just broke up..She just found out that she is pregnant and she keeps on throwing up in school..She doesn't want her Dad to know about her being pregnant and her boyfriend is going out with the girl he cheated on her for.. He has blocked her phone number and he won't talk to her..

What should she do, Should she get an abortion..??

I don't believe in killing babies..but if I was her, I would probably get an abortion, then ask God to forgive me because that has to be scarey as hell for someone my age..We are both seniors..

 

This is up to her, it's her body and she has the right to do whatever she wants. An abortion wiuld make life easier, but she'd have to deal with the grief of killing a baby, whereas as she had the baby she would have to devote her life to it. It's wings and roundabouts.

 

this is not for you or anyone else to decide lovelorned... as the above poster said this is your friend's decision.

 

Yes, I know, I'm just trying to give her advice..because she's coming to me for it..She's lost..she keeps saying how scared she is and she doesn't know what she is going to do..

 

Well if she's not ready maybe she should consider it but its really up to her. What she really should do is kick that guys fucking ass!!

 

I think referring to an abortion as "killing a baby" is passing judgement in a non-direct way. What if you were in her shoes, would you want someone telling her to "kill her baby and ask forgiveness". Just call it an abortion.

 

Planned parenthood has people that she can talk to about what her options are.

 

My birthmother gave me up for adoption...great idea in our case, but in some cases abortion is the best option for the women.
But she needs to talk to someone who is trained to give advice, she needs to go to Planned Parenthood, or a womens clinic.
Its her choice, and she really needs to talk to someone who can give her all the answers.

 

its up to her... when she comes to you and says she doesnt know what to do, you should discuss the options with her, but not tell her what to do. be a boucning board, a source of information, but not a final decision maker

 

It is up to her, and she should get answers from both sides of the abortion stand.
She needs to get as much informations as she can.
Some women can handle the guilt that goes along with having an abortion, and some can't.
Does she want to devote the next 20 years of her life to raising someone else?
What has her boyfriend said to her, when she told him she was pregnant?
The more info she gets, the better prepared she will be to make her decision.

 

She told me today she made an appointment to a clinic..

 

best thing you can do now is volunteer to go to the clinic with her for support

 

be there for her and support her as much as you can cause it gonna be rough on her after she has it done.....o the guy that did it and has done what he did needs a big time ass kicking he is a real fucking loser

 

Yes, be there for her during the process. Oh and tell her to give the bill to the asshole that left her!

 

Have her talk with her parents, they will be more supportive than she thinks.
