I Don't Know What to Say...... Posted: 02-28-05 15:08pm
One of my friends told me she was pregnant
today...And the only thing she wanted to
know was about the abortion pill that I
almost went through with. I tried to
tell her to think really hard about what
she is doing, but she just changed the
subject. It makes me really sad b/c I
know I went through a lot trying to decide
and I know that i'm making the perfect
choice. She's already had one abortion so
she thinks it's not a big deal...Does
anybody have any suggestions on what I can
say to help her make the right choice?
Or should I just keep my mouth shut?

Well I think the right choice is whatever
she wants.. As I am 100% prochoice. I
do think she might want to look into birth
control if she isnt' on any. I think you
should just let her do what she wants to
do because this can be a very sensitive
subject and it can divide people so i'd
just keep quiet if I were you.

Be gentle with your words, and try to show
her some insight of why you didn't choose
abortion....It's her decision in the end,
but maybe that would help her...

No, it's the ru486 pill and misoprostol (
I think that's how you spell it) they are
taken a couple days apart, one of them
blocks progestrone from your body and then
the other one contracts the uterus to
release the fetus....It can only be used
up to nine weeks of pregnancy

Idk what to say. My friends know that I
am pro-life. One day my friend told me
she had something to tell me, but she was
really scared to. She told me she had an
abortion a few weeks back. It was kind
of sad b/c she felt like she had to
justify it to me and she was going on and
on about all the reasons. So, idk, just
be there for her whatever she decides.

My best friend had an abortion 3 years
ago. She knew I was pro-life, but still
came to me for advice.....I told her what
I felt. We're still really good friends,
we just never talk about it...

I think that you should let her talk to
you, but let her know where you stand.
She is not going to keep the baby just
because you said so and if she did she
might resent you for the rest of her life.
She is going to do what she wants to do
all you can help with is when she actually
goes through with it. But let her know
that you can only support her half
heartedly because you dont beleive that
she should kill the baby.

Jlee
here is a site I found with info about the
abortion pill (it has been out for quite
some time)
i am with everyone else here. Just be
her friend and be there for her.
Definately tell her where you stand, tell
her why you decided that abortion wasn't
the best choice for you, and then just be
there. She will need you no matter what
she decides.

The same kind of thing happned to me
recently. A girlfriend of mine keeps
saying she wants a baby since I got
preggers. Well she's with a new guy
(maybe 6 months now) she was with my bf's
brother for 3 yrs before and never even
had a preggers scare. Well she stopped
taking her pills recently and got pregnant
with the new guy. Now she wants to go
for an abortion. I'm like, why did you
stop taking your pills if you were just
gonna get an abortion??? I don't know
what to say to her. I told her i'd
support her but it really ticks me off
what she did.
