[QUOTE="Malika, post: 470639, member: 11227"] This is all very sad. A real choice would operate in circumstances in which someone had viable and practical support for keeping a child as well as for other course of action. I have seen women fall apart after abortion - no-one will tell them about that beforehand or want to know afterwards. Some women do seem to freely choose it and not suffer any fall-out afterwards - plenty more do not. I do not think the prognosis for your daughter is good, given that she at first wanted to keep the child, and then talked about adoption. This will not be a trivial experience for her, in all probability. Such an illusion at play here... that abortion just solves the problem neatly for all concerned. The best thing your daughter could do, for her emotional and physical and mental health, would be to have the baby. I just hope the abortion will not set her on a path to complete self-destruction. I have no agenda other than concern for the suffering I have seen after abortion. And it is not easy to say these things, knowing how unpopular they are - but I am concerned for your daughter and I following my own morality in saying them. [/QUOTE]
