My Best Friend Wants Me To Go To An Abortion Clinic With Her, But I Don't Believe In Abortion.
|
My friend and I are college students. She had a fling with a guy and now she is pregnant. She hasn't told anyone including him, and she wants to get an abortion. She's been my best friend since junior high. She says that her mind is made up and she needs my support right now. I love her, but I believe that abortion is wrong. I just don't think that I can support her through this. I'm not the right person. Do I stand up for my beliefs or stand by my best friend's decision to have an abortion?

You can stand for both. I'm sure you're not the one who persuaded her to an abortion and that you've tried to argue her from that - then you stood for your beliefs. And if you'll be the one to take her home from a clinic and take care of her you'll stand for your friend.

"A brother is born for adversity and a friend loves at all times". These are the sayings that I have kept in my heart to always remind me of the true essence of friendship. Your friend is totally wrong about getting an abortion. And supporting her means you are not being a genuine friend to her. Instead bring her to an OB clinic, and make her see through the ultrasound the beautiful creation growing inside her. She is only a vessel of God's beautiful gift inside her womb. No matter what the consequences are let her face them, and she need not worry because you are there to support her.

hello there and sorry to hear about the though moment you are into too, is completly though when you have a friend that decided for an option that you don't approve, and we always feel like "do i SUPPORT MY FRIEND?", or "Do i go for what i THINK IS THE CORRECT THING?", i think you must follow your instinct coz really I don't agree about abortion as well, in my opinion I think no one have the right to decide for someone elses life, so that is how I believe and I drive my life following what I think is right, but as everyone has the free will to decide how to live we can not change people mind. I would say to you look by two perspectives to choose what is best to be done, and compare both, first you look and find a balance about how that friendship is important and what is the benefits of offer a support to your friend right now, the 2nd is look by the side of how you believe the abortion is wrong and how could be the effects of go together with your friend at the clinic. I hope you will find the right answer. Good Lucky.

your friend is under an emotional and psychological stress.. the decisions she make may be impulsive. as a friend you are in a great position to help her at this time, your support is essential.. abortion may be an option but it is not a solution .. in fact it may add up to the stress that she is in now... encourage her to communicate with her parents.. otherwise it would be very hard for her to carry on with the pregnancy..

Let her be guided about the good life of living. Be reminded about her life that was given by her mother. Likewise add up that abortion is a mortal sin that should never be practiced. Babies are blessings from God, and we should take care and be thankful to have them.
