you know what? as her friend you have a duty not to pressure your friend into anything. it wouldnt be you living with the demands of a baby, it wouldn't be you pregnant and going through labour and it wouldnt be you having the abortion, you should just support your friend in what would be an extremely difficult time. abortion is more than a woman deciding she doesnt want a baby. its an extremely difficult choice to make and contrary to some popular belief its not done on a whim and forgotten about. your views are fine, and no one would be pressuring you to abort just because they believed in it. anti abortionist believe its a selfish act when actually its the most selfless thing you can do. if your not capable or dont feel capable of being a mother then why should that child suffer at the hands of someone who cant cope? if this situations arises with you again i suggest you keep your views to yourself and direct the friend to some counselling which is impartial so she can make the right decision for her. sorry but the woman has more rights than an unborn baby and i'm a mother of three, abortions also happen for different reason, i,e, rape, abuse, contraception failure, malformation with a foetus, dont tar everyone with the same brush and value other ppls views as you do your own or how can anyone take you seriously if you close your mind to other points of view? rant over! n dont mention adoption, theres enough children in this world without loving parents but cos they arnt sweet little babies they stay on the scrap pile.

Yes it would be for so many reasons.
1) It is not your decision.
2) You can walk awa at any time and literally leave her holding the baby.
3) It is a very difficult decision to make and trying to make a freind feel guilty for doing what is right for her will just lead to more problems
4) Most people who are against abortion are against it because of some religion, if your friend doesn't share your faith than you have not right to try to instil her with your beliefs - just like you wouldn't try to make a Jewish person eat pork.
5) Abortion is a right - hard fought for - to deny a person's legal rights is immoral.

Pro Choice doesn't automatically mean advocating abortion. Shouldn't we we all free to make the decision that is right for us? Isn't that part of our basic freedom and independence? Aren't we all entitled to our own opinions?
It's not immoral to express a respectful opinion to another, but if you are a genuine 'friend' then pressuring her is wrong. This is something she has to deal with. It's her life, her values, her beliefs, her body and all the repercussions of such a decision will be hers. It only seems moral for her to be able to decide this for herself without pressure from you. A true friend is supportive.

It would be very immoral of you indeed.
Ask yourself a question.....would you want someone forcing their opinions on you and pressuring the hell out of you at a time when your whole life has just been turned on it's head? This. from someone who is meant to be a friend and a support in bad times?
If the answer is no, then you know what to do in the future.
You have to work out what is more important to you. Your morals or your friendships.
You can express your feelings but be very careful not to overstep the mark, or you will find yourself on your own.

no because although she might think its the right decision right now it will affect her whole life. Chances are she will regret it at some point in her future my friend was forced into an abortion 16 yrs ago (she was 18) and she is still depressed about it. All those who say its the womans choice can paint it any colour they want its still murder and in this day an age theres no excuse for an unwanted pregnancy. If u couldnt handle having a baby the solution is simple. dont have sex.

regularly, ladies do no longer go through any issues from surgical abortion, and discomfort is minimum. there'll be somewhat soreness, regardless of if this is basically no longer ongoing. How a techniques alongside are you? while you're under 40 9 days pregnant, you're eligible for scientific abortion, which includes no surgery or invasive procedures. regardless of if, i'm guessing your make certain will must be with you or provide some form of consent to establish which you to have the abortion, so which you will in all probability ought to make your recommendations up that area previously. Abortions are statistically risk-free and your destiny fertility will possibly no longer be effected in any respect. do no longer pay interest to this idiots who prefer to make it easier to realize it relatively is homicide or that it relatively is risky- they understand no longer something with reference to the approach and clearly are not scared, pregnant youngsters, basically judgmental imbeciles. sturdy success to you.

My view would be, yes, because it implies you imposing your views on your friend. You can not know what is the right decision for your friend, only what would be right for you.
I have had to cope with a situation like that which involved my sister and I know how difficult it can be to keep personal views out of the equation. But, whatever your views/beliefs/values it is not for you to 'pressure' someone else into your value system. Ultimately, they have to decide what is the best for them. After all, it is they who will have to live with the consequences of their decision, not you.

At the end of the day it all boils down to age, relationship status, maturity & money circumstances etc. Im 37 weeks pregnant in a great relationship & it never crossed our minds once but it all depends on both the parents wishes.

It wouldn't be immoral to put pressure on her. You should try to talk her out of it because no one deserves to lose their life even if they haven't been brought into the world yet. But either way it's going to still be your friend's choice in the long run!!
