Will they force my sis to abort?

Question

My sister just found out that she is pregnant with her second child. she's 25 and has no job, car, or anything. She's addicted to Oxycotin. its some pain pill. When she goes to the doctor will they find out that she is addicted and make her abort her baby, because i've tried to tell her that she should and she said that she wont and she wont go to rehab or anything either.

Answer 1

You can't make her give up her baby. There are somethings u can do though. My sister was doing weed a lot but she stopped because of her jobs. Help your sister get more responsibility. She might just do a 180. And if she doesn't. Have her go to the doctors to get checked and make sure they know of her addiction. The abortion isnt a good idea, but maybe giving the baby a different home might be. So if she doesnt stop drugs then get her to sign adoption papers so the baby can be raised right. In a good home with no negative influences.

Answer 2

no one can force your sister to abort her baby but she can be put in jail if she goes to the doc and is found to be positive for any narcotics it is child endangerment

Answer 3

oxycontin is a schedule 8 drug generally kept behind locked cupboards in hospitals and needs to be prescribed, as it is an addictive drug. how is she having access to this drug??? is she somehow receiving it illegally?? and abuse of it can harm her baby.

as she is of legal age no one can force her to have an abortion. it can only be advised, but in general it would be more likely that she will be advised to adopt her child.  

Answer 4

they cant make you sister do anything she dont wnat with her body. they can make sugestions only. they will inform her of the risks and offer her help but she can only help herself no one can make her do anything she dont want to do.

Answer 5

No they will not force her to have an abortion. However when she has the baby, they will take the baby from her.  

Answer 6

I think that you're concerns are definitely warranted. Don't listen to these other fools on here who think that she should definitely have the baby just because it's living.

The route your sister is going the baby might come out and wish it wasn't living with all the complications it might have.

I am pro choice and of course no one can make your sister have an abortion but when you think about it this is child abuse before the child even has a shot at life, I don't see why she wants to keep torturing it.

In any event if she does continue this pregnancy and the baby actually lives through her addiction and is born, the baby will most likely be addicted (along with all the other problems) and they will almost definitely take the baby away and put it into the system.

PRAY!!!

Answer 7

I don't think that they can force an abortion, even when they know a baby's going to have a lot of problems, or fatal ones even. It's solely her choice. All you can do is be there for her and pray so hard for the fetus.. xx

Answer 8

they wont make her abort BUT they will probably take her child from her.

Answer 9

they can't force her to have an abortion. they can refuse to give her medical care if she wont follow instructions.

they can take the baby off her once it's born. but no one can make you have an abortion.

Answer 10

Wow... You know there are things like adoption. The baby already has things like a heart a brain and can even move. Sure your sis is wrong for doing drugs but why take that chance at life away from the wee one. Do you know  they pull them apart in the womb and some are left on tables dieing after they have been removed. I am sorry but I think that is a worse fate then risking your sisters drug habit. I'm sure you'd like someone to tear you apart with a hanger! Convince her to give the bay to someone who cant have a child. Plenty people out there can't have children! Seriously abortion is murder!

Answer 11

They can't force her to abort. But I really don't know what actions doctors can take because of her drug addiction. She should really stop doing drugs, there is a chance that she can miscarry because of it. I would try to convince her to stop taking them by any means necessary.

I hope she does stop for the sake of her child.

Answer 12

OK-there are some misconceptions here. 1)No one can force an individual to have an abortion. 2)I understand your sister is an addict-and the baby will be born with an addiction, however the baby won't necessarily be born with "all kinds of birth defects." There may not be much you can do for your sister -but the baby will need a lot of love and affection. I hope that you and your family will help the baby all you can-as the child will already have a couple of strikes against him/her when he/she is born.  

Answer 13

Nobody can every force you to have an abortion legally so no they can't force her to have an abortion but if she continues to take pills she knows is unsafe to use while pregnant they can have CPS take the baby away right after birht.  

Answer 14

Yeah, oxycotin is glorified heroin and it's highly addictive. I feel for her baby, she will go through some major withdrawals after birth (the baby, not your sister). If she won't stop taking it, they will take the baby from her.
