Show her a baby. Tell her if she could kill him/her. Her baby is already a PERSON, but a tiny one. Tell her that you don't think is going to be easy to be a parent, but is easier to do than to live the rest of your life with your marked conscious about being a murder of your own child.

Has she thought about adoption? There are so many couples that cannot have children. An abortion is something she will never ever forget. It may seem like the best answer now but in 15 years she may regret it.

I would give her a hug.. I would tell her it's ultimately her decision to make, and not an easy one. I would have her think deeply about it, and ask her to imagine how she will feel when all is said and done (emotionally as well as physically).
If she chose to go through with the abortion, I would offer to take her. Afterwords, I would counsel her on birth control methods and about being more responsible.

Tell her first that she would be an excellent mother and then tell her that i love her and so will this baby.
And if she gets an abortion it is just like MURDERING a baby. Tell her if she doesn't want to keep it than to put it up for adoption plenty of people would love adopt an infant and they may even pay all medical expenses and possibly food expenses to make sure the baby is taken care of in the womb.

I would tell her that she is about to make a serious decision that will have consequences for the rest of her life. Then, I would tell her that I will be there to lend support and that she can come to me for anything!
If you want to go a step further, you can give her some tips. She will be taking antibiotics to prevent infection afterward, so make sure she knows to take the whole prescription. She will feel kind of cruddy, so make sure she knows to have things like soup and jello to eat at home in case of nausea. She will also be bleeding, much like a period, for a few days to weeks afterward and will not be allowed tampons, so she will need to have sanitary napkins on hand. She will cramp, again like a period, so she might want to have some Tylenol or other over the counter pain reliever.

Tell her that as soon as the egg is implanted, there is a LIVE baby inside her. If we consider one-celled bacteria to be alive, then the baby is alive from the moment both cells meet. Ask her if she really wants to be a murderer at the tender age of 16.

It is ultimately her choice. Remind her that it is a choice that she will have to live with forever. I had one when I was 19 and I am now 32. I still think about it. It was the best option at that time and I don't regret it but it has been hard to live with.

Get her some professional counseling quick! That innocent baby did ask to come here. Be supportive and friendly, but get her some help ASAP! Good luck.

Be supportive in whatever she chooses. Being 16 and pregnant is stressful enough without her getting static from "well meaning" people around her.

it was her choice to spread her legs, so now it is her choice to become a parent. She needs to be reminded of everything she will be missing out on. raising a child a such a young age is very difficult. Just stand by her while she is going through this, it won't be easy either way.
