Please do all that you can to stop your friend from killing her baby. Please send her this information to read.
An unexpected pregnancy is a blessing; sent by God to help you grow as a person (no pun intended :-) Giving up and going that route requires a rejection of hope and faith, and also requires that you embrace hopelessness and despair. Why don't you feel that things will work out? In this situation with you being so young, please ask a family member or friend if they can take care of your child while you finish high school. Or, if that can't work out, please put your baby up for adoption to a loving and stable family. Why don't you visit a crisis pregnancy center and read about all of your other options that don't involve killing your precious child? Please consider embracing the possibilities rather than the limitations.
I don't know any woman who is glad she chose abortion, including myself. See, I was once where you are and I chose the low road. It is the worst decision I ever made and caused me much heartache in my life. Not only is the force of evil intent on propagating despair, evil is intent on turning it around on you after the abortion and mocking you and calling you a murderer. It feels like it's coming from within yourself, but it is really the forces of evil making you hate yourself. He even uses other people who are pro-abortion to ridicule you and call you a hypocrite when you are just trying to warn other women of what a mistake it is. I HAD an abortion...I know how destructive it is, not just to the the baby, but to a woman's psychological health. And, once you do decide to have children, their arrival will be bittersweet, as their beautiful faces remind you of the beauty and love that you rejected so many years before. It has only been through the forgiveness of God and Jesus that I've healed. It is now my mission to warn other women and give them the facts that the abortion mills won't. They just want your money. They couldn't care less about you.
If your boyfriend or your parents or anyone else is going to pressure you into doing something that you feel is wrong, it is important that you not bow to that pressure. Forget about pride. Forget about damaging your reputation. Forget about what people will think. All that matters is what you think of yourself, and abortion will damage your view of yourself for years to come.
Here are some links for you to visit before you make this life-changing decision. (sorry so many, but there are so many things to consider)
God bless and I pray that He will guide you.

Abortion is NEVER an option. I feel really sorry that the girl or her bf does not want their baby. If they where willing to have sex, then they must face the after effects also.
Since the girl does not want the child, her only option is giving the child for adoption. But i would say that its better if she reconsiders it. A friend of mine got pregant and she gave up her child. Now she is desperate to get the child back. She is begging the church ppl(they gave the child for adoption) to tell the where abouts of her child. Everyday she crys about it. I know how much she is suffering.
I would even advice that you talk about it to the guy and pound some sense in his head.
So i again repeat, pls ask the girl & the guy to rethink her decision. I know she is 15 and its too young for her. I dont know the age of the guy. And i prefer that, she keeps the child. It will be difficult, but atleats she will not feel bad abt it.

I'm sure shes very scared right now. At 15 she may not understand all of her options. Abortion is one yes but there is also adoption. There are also different types of adoption available to her. She can chose closed adoption or an open one. In an closed adoption she relinquishes all contact with the baby. In an open one she can negotiate different types of contact with the baby but still not be its legal responsible guardian. At 5 months shes past the halfway point of her pregnancy. If she can stick it out for a few more months and chose adoption she can live the rest of her life knowing she made one of the hardest and selfless decisions a woman can make.
Ultimately it is her decision but I would encourage her to investigate all of her options carefully.

there's a real case for abortion in cases of sexual abuse and rape, in which case a woman shouldn't be forced to carry her attacker's child and also where the circumstances are such that a woman's life would be seriously damaged by having a child. But here's the issue - 5 months' gone means the child could survive outside the womb and might actually 'survive' an abortion but be quite damaged. This decision should have been made at 3 months, not 5. Adoption may be the issue, plus a serious look at birth control in the future.

I highly recommend adoption. It is a very loving, responsible, unselfish way to benefit everyone involved. She should not be encouraged to keep the baby out of duty. I've seen first hand the problems it can create not only for the parent, but the child also. If she places the baby for adoption she and her boyfriend will both have the benefit of pulling their lives together, the adoptive couple will have the benefit of a beautiful sweet baby to love and raise, and the baby will have the benefit of loving, supportive parents in a stable home. She can even select the parents she wants for her baby if she wants to be involved in that part of it. I really like the website www.itsaboutlove.org. It even allows you to look at adoptive couple profiles. Tell her good luck. I hope she makes a good choice.

I'd say if she is already 5 months along she should have the baby and give it up for adoption if she doesn't want it. My sister's mom was the same age. My sister is now 33 years old and very highly educated. She's had lots of dreams and hopes come true. I just hope this baby doesn't get aborted. Someone would love to have this baby.

If she is 5 months now, she has no choice but to have the baby. No doctor in there right mind will abort that baby, she is way to far along. Her only options are to keep it or put it up for adoption.

Well at 5 months in most states its a lil late for that decision.Your cousin and boyfriend should have been a lil more responsible since they wanted to act like adults. However the only two options I see is adoption and her growing up and taking care of her baby.

She needs to have the baby and consider adoption.She is already 5 months along-the baby is fully formed just tiny-she should not abort.Many couples cannot have kids or just want more and are waiting to adopt.I was given for adoption and am so happy my birth mother chose life.She was young too and did not want a baby-neither did the dad.Adoption is such a perfect choice!

Your cousin should give the baby up for adoption if she is not ready to be a parent. Abortion is not the right answer. I have 3 boys & one lil' boy in heaven & my husband & I are trying to adopt another baby, just the thought of someone killing a fully formed child breaks my heart. Please tell you cousin the best thing to do for her & the unborn baby is to allow a caring & loving family to adopt him or her.
Good luck!

Five months is too late for an abortion. When I was five months pregnant, my son was fully developed. I could see his penis,and everything.She should have the baby and give it up for adoption if she thinks she won't be able to take care of it. That is a whole person inside her right now!
