Default I need advice i have a friend that wants an abortion she 18 weeks?

I need advice i have a friend that wants an abortion and she need me to let her borrow the money for it but i had already let her borrow 1000.00 but for school. I am very against abortions unless it was a rape which it wasnt so i dont know what to do. I want to really help her but i cant because i know whats she's using it for and i will have it in my mind that i helped her kill the baby since its now considered a baby at 18 weeks. What should i do?Unfortunatly in texas you can get an abortin at 18 weeks i told her that i'm am very sorry but i cannot help her but i am still there for her on whatever she decides and that i would rather her give the baby for adoption since its not a fetus. I will even go to the extreme of adopting the baby because i would love to be able to have children. But to please really think about it because it's going to be something she will never forget.

That is very awesome of you. 18 weeks is WAY to late to abort in my opinion (had no idea Texas was different)I hope your friend is ok. She can get into adoption programs where she choses the parents. Even programs that help with with the finances of having a baby (she seems to have money problems, don't we all)At least she has the support of a friend in whatever she decides to do. Good luck!

Good luck even finding a legitimate doctor who would do a C&D that far along.

You don't have to loan her the money, but don't judge. It's not your body and it's not your baby. Just tell her she should be very, very sure about her decision.

You shouldn't do anything that compromises your own morality. Be a shoulder for her to cry on (if needed) before and after. Do not support it monetarily. You will not forgive yourself if you go against what you believe in, especially since she's having the abortion so late (have you seen pictures of 18 week fetuses?!).p.s., It's unfortunately NOT true that in the US you can only have abortions up to 17 weeks. It varies by state. Some states allow abortions up until the very end, if there is a"medical reason."And I know that in my local phonebook, there are abortion providers that advertise doing abortions up to 24 weeks. I wish it were true that your friend is too late, but it's not true- so your dilemma still stands.

Don't let her have money!! I am a single mom with two kids and i had an abortion when i got pregnant for the third time. I have told no one about it and live with the guilt every single day of my life. To me, it is not worth feeling guilty to help out a friend. I came up with the money on my own, and the experience was not worth the 300 dollars. Let her know that from someone that has had one, it is easier to take care of an unplanned child than to live with guilt for the rest of your life!! I am all about making choices, but i also have been there and done that and if i can help someone else by letting them know how emotionally painful it is, i will. Please let me know if she needs someone to talk to!Stacielb06@yahoo.com

I wouldn't loan her any money. That would make you an accomplice to murder. Talk to her about adoption. There is a family out there who would give anything to raise her baby.

Nothing. Because if it is found you helped that slu t, YOU will get in trouble, LEGALLY-is that what you want?..Your name plastered all over the media and people insulting you because you helped kill someone?..Don't help her out cash wise, but be there for her emotionally-she doesn't deserve anything but disgust for being a low life!

Tell her too bad! Tell her you won't support something you don't agree with and that next time she should keep her legs closed if she doesn't want a baby!

Don’t loan her the money and express your feelings on this matter to her. Assure her that you love and care for her dearly but you will not support her in this decision. She’s 18 weeks… it’s a baby not a fetus and in any case (or at least in my opinion) abortion is wrong! She needs to deal with her consequences, it will be on her conscious for the rest of her life and if she decides to do it anyway at least you wont have it on your conscious that you helped her kill a innocent baby. Good Luck and I hope she listens to you!!

Please don't do it, you have the right heart for feeling the way you do and God bless you, you just might be the person to save that babies life. How would that make you feel to look into his or her eyes and KNOW you made their life possible?

i don't think they do them after 16 weeks do they?? ugh that sucks, tell her to just have the baby and let someone adopt the little angel.... they will pay her, and they will pay for the dr. visits, and for a house to live in while she's pregnant, maybe even after, get this months issue of COSMOPOLITAN magazine, in the very back, the classifieds, they have adoption services with lots of people who, cannot have babies, and want one... so just try to talk her into it... i think having an abortion would be something she's regret in the long run......

I wouldn't loan her the money. Mainly because you don't agree with it, but it seems as though you also feel as though you will not have this returned to you anymore then what is already owed. I was in the same situation except all I had to do was drive her there..and I did, i still think about it to this day and know that I was a part of that- I regret and feel ashamed of myself- she may not have done it had I not helped her. If I feel this way and still remember (10+ years) you know you will. Lie if you have too, but best is to tell the truth- maybe she doesn't knwo what to do other then this and feels this is her option. Instead you could help her by going with her to clinics or adoption agencies.

That is insane its almost viable! there is a baby that had even survived at 20 wks (viability is 24 wks) and even with killing a life is the guilt and shame that comes after I have a friend who had a abortion. It tore her up so badly inside that she turned to a life of drugs and it really screwed up her life. You should encourage her to put it up for adoption That way she can finish her school and get on with her life and the baby will go to a deserving family that would really appreciate that little baby. I pray you both make the right decision.

Somewhere at some timeThey committed themselves to meAnd so, I was!Small, but I WAS!Tiny, in shapeLusting to liveI hung in my pulsing cave.Soon they knew of meMy mother —my father.I had no say in my beingI lived on trustAnd loveTho'I couldn't thinkEach part of me was sayingA silent'Wait for meI will bring you love!'I was takenBlind, naked, defenselessBy the hand of oneWhose good nameWas graven on a brass platein Wimpole Street,and dropped on the sterile floorof a foot operated plastic wastebucket.There was no Queens CounselTo take my brief.The cot I might have warmedStood in Harrod's shop window.When my passing was toldMy father smiled.No grief filled my empty space.My death was celebratedWith tickets to see Danny la RueWho was pretending to be a womanLike my mother was.
