Convincing a friend to not choose abortion: Help!

[Anicette]

I am happy that you are free of the burden to try to persuade this woman to keep her unborn child.

That being said, you have done the right thing by contacting your prolife local group. What did they suggest?
I think one important thing is to have cards on yourself about associations, or public resources to help youngs mothers in need.

Recently, I was pregnant, waiting for an apointment in the hospital and began to speak a lot with another pregnant women with twins. She reluctancly wait for her abortion apointment, because she said she and her husband were “against” abortion. I reply that if it is the case, she should not go because she can regret it later. After we speak casually of her situation etc. I was thinking i should speak of an phone number for pregnant womens and a website, but I hadn’t a card on myself. I was thinking of this brochure of all the public and private help for pregnant women. I know that they would not have push her to choose life, just help her with her feelings and to find resources for her social situation. It is my prolife group. I call them when I was pregant.

But I am shy and don’t do it because of my shame. Surely a big mistake from my part.

Don’t do the same mistake if you can.

There are many sources on the Web which explain the damage that abortion does to the mother.

Jeromel,

Could you put up a post with links to credible sources on websites that explain the complications (short and long term) from abortion. I would like to order some brochures or cards to put in the bathrooms in my college town. Also, where do we get the little hands and little feet? I used to give those out to women a lot (with wanted or unwanted pregnancies). they loved the little feet, since their fetus was usually that age. Those are ideal for college restrooms.

BTW, excellent website.

I’m afraid I will probably need them at some point in the future for other students or friends.

I do believe you’re right.
Thankfully, I haven’t had any college students or friends face an unwanted pregnancy (yet). But information is good to have out there in case someone has a friend considering abortion.

I can’t understand how the rape and human trafficking info I set out flies off the shelf, but there’s no word on unplanned pregnancies. I know that the local pregnancy center was short on diapers recently and there is now a Life Center where the local abortion clinic had once been. But there probably is a need for pro-life/ pregnancy/ and social program assistance information.
