What can I do for my friend who just got an abortion?

Question

I feel like doing something nice for her cuz she's been pretty bumbed about it.

Answer 1

take her to church

Answer 2

Take her out.

Answer 3

Why do something nice for her? She made this choice... and just like literally every single choice in our lives, there are consequences-negative or positive that come along. I wouldn't do anything for her and honestly, if she tried to complain or talk about her feelings, I would simply give her a phone number for an alternatives pregnancy center and tell her to call them to see about any support they can provide. And if the opportunity arises, tell her the truth. It's natural to feel bad because she just killed her child-a piece of herself...

Answer 4

your friend has basically commited murder. do you feel bad for other murderers when they come to realize what they did was wrong? i know this isnt what you were looking for, but it was her choice, and im guessing you werent the one who put her in that situation, it was her and someother guy. not your problem. shell get over it eventually, but if she didnt ask your opinion to keep it or kill it its not your problem now.

Answer 10

Take her to her check up after wards and then take her to get on some birth control and get her condoms..  

Answer 11

Buy her a years supply of birth control and tell her to use those instead of relying on abortions to end her reckless mistake.  

Answer 12

The fact that she is upset about it is good, it shows that she cares. Remind her that God forgives everyone and hopefully she will be able to move on. You don't have to necessarily "do" anything for her, just be a friend and lend an ear. It's her problem and she'll have to resolve it within herself first and foremost.  

Answer 13

There sure are some judgmental people out here.  She has just been through a horrible ordeal.  Just be there for her.  She may want to talk about it and if she does please listen to her and if you offer any advice please don't be judgmental.  She may benefit from some counseling.  Even if you don't agree with her decision support her and love her because she is your friend.
