What do you do if you know someone pregnant?

Question

What do you do if you know someone that is pregnant and they don't want the baby? But you don't believe in abortions? How do you give them advice if you are onesided?

Answer 1

Give them the best advice that you can give! Why don't you take the baby then the child will still be able to see it's parents! Or there is always adoption if you don't want it either!

Answer 2

I am 100% against abortions myself, but unfortunately you can't make that decision for her.

I would talk to her about adoption, and maybe discuss that option.

If she talks about abortion, maybe you could explain to her what is involved in an abortion. Procedures, emotional well being afterwards? Maybe you could point her in the direction of women who have who have had abortions on line?

Then let her decide, and be there for her.

Answer 3

Just tell her your feelings and hope it will be perceived as heartfelt concern for her well-being. Don't be too agressive with it or she'll resent it. It is, after all, her choice. If you can express to her in a non-invasive way, the reason why you think she might regret her decision later, she might listen and think about it. Tread lightly though ... you don't want to lose a friend over this.

Answer 4

Let them know there are couples out there that will give their baby love from the time it is born until the time we die. We have waited for a child to come into our lives either from the grace of God by our own or the grace of God through someone else, but every life is meant to be givin to someone for a reason. Let them know that there is someone out there waiting for a life to be born for a waiting couple like us, everyday, and that no new life is never born without someone waiting for it.

Answer 5

I would find out why they don't want it and maybe see if there are ways they get out of those situations or circumstances. Maybe even get someone else in their family involved, without jeopardizing their trust.

Remind them that this child is a blessing from God regardless of the circumstances and if given the chance, it will bring a lot of happiness. If not to that mother, to a loving family that can't have children of their own.

Answer 6

if you hardly know them then it really isnt your place to be giving them your thoughts on what to do with THEIR baby. but if they are a close friend and are asking for advice then i would offer other options than abortion as the only choice.

Answer 7

You can advise them about your views but remember it's just advise they can take it or leave it it's thier choice...

You can also advise them about where they can go for further advise such as religious advisor if they are religious, parents, other friends, Dr. and such... You are not the only sourse of advise they have and if you don't feel adequately prepared to give advise you can always help them find another advisor...

Answer 8

Recomend a service that hooks the expectantant mother to an adoptive couple who will pay the mother + medical to sign over the birhtrights.

Answer 9

I would say tell her about the options, but don't pressure her. Ultimately, the decision is hers, and she will be more likely to consider your advice if you present it in a cool-headed, rational way.

Answer 10
