but for a person who is considering a 2nd trimester abortion and her unborn child. She is young and doesnt have the best relationship with the baby's father. I tried to explain to her the reasons why she wouldnt want to do this,even told her of my personal pain (I had an AB when I was 8 wks pg back in 97) and how I relive my abortion every month I am not pg. When I was on the phone with her I tried to keep an cool head but inside my heart was falling to pieces. I have never cried so hard after I hung up. I am crying for her because she doenst know what a huge mistake she is making,and I am crying for the baby because abortion is just so cruel. I wish someone would have approached me and been as vigilant as I am to her.
My dh was just saying yesterday how the womb isnt a safe place for a baby anymore and he thanked his mother for carrying him full term~giving him a chance at life. Dh even told this person that if she carried the baby to term that we would keep the baby for her. I would rather this person have the baby,let us keep it until she is in a better position to raise it then to let her continue on with this abortion. When I brought that up she said that she just doesnt want this baby in her anymore. She doesnt know what a wonderful miracilous gift she is carrying inside her. I would give anything I be pg right now and I would give anything if she would reconsider and just have this baby.
Her telling me this has brought on severe depression and bad memories. I want to be their for her but I dont know if emotionally I can hold up. Dh doenst want me to be too involved because she doesnt want me to have anything to do with abortion. I want to be there for her because she needs someone. Dh told me to tell her that if she goes thru with it that I am not going with her but part of me wants to go because I am hoping that on the way there I can talk her out of it.
Anyhoo,I am in a rough spot right now but I know God is going to give me the wisdom and strength to make it thru this. Please lift up this person and her baby~God knows who they are and pray that she changes her mind and delivers this baby! I truly appreciate it. Take care and God Bless.

Shawna - what a trying situation you are in right now. Especially since you have - been there, done that - in your own personal life. I will pray for your friend. I do hope she changes her mind, but the thought came to me that if she does not really want this child, the damage she could do to it.
One thing that I did read in your post that concerned me was your husband not wanting you to become involved. I have a hard time with submission to my husband, but I have found that when I do listen to him, I am better off. And your DH does have your best interests in mind. So, please, please, if DH says don't get involved, don't. He loves you and wants only the best for you.
Thank you both for your prayers! I think they worked a miracle as right now she hasnt talked about wanting an abortion. She called me today to say that she even went a bought some items for the baby. I hope this is a turning point and she doenst have anymore thoughts about abortion being an answer all to her issues.
I think deep down she loves her baby but she's scared. And rightly so~no one said it's gonna be easy being a single mom but she can do it. I know she can. I will be there for her in everyway possible because deep down I love her like one of my own children. When she told me that she wanted an abortion I literally felt like she ripped my heart out of my chest and it was personal.
Her emotions are probably unstable right now due to hormones so I am imagine this pg is going to be a emotion driven rollercoaster~I pray God gives me the strength and patience to make it thru this pregnancy in one piece.
Keep the prayers coming as I am sure she is going to need them in the months to come. I truly appreciate it ladies.
She is in my prayers - I understand where you are coming from. I will pray for God's intervention in this situation - she needs it. I will also pray that God will give you the strength and the words to use if needed again. For now I will just say AMEN that she isn't thinking of doing this now!! What a great friend she has in you!!
