I just found out my son got his girlfriend pregnant. They have both been using hard drugs. Her parents want her to have an abortion. They want to meet with me this evening and ask me for advice. I have been praying to the Holy Spirit to guide me but I don’t feel very confident. 😦

Any encouraging words, thoughts or help would really be appreciated. Thank you and God bless.

Hi Lee. Parenthood is a mixed bag, isn’t it, but I wouldn’t trade it for anything. I remember the joy I felt at the birth of my children. Well, maybe I wasn’t the best prepared parent in the world, and maybe circumstances weren’t perfect all the time, but what a blessing and privilege I was given to hold them, raise them, love them.

I never was faced with the same self-serving tendencies you are describing like drugs and abortion thoughts but I had my own young selfish ways. The drug abuse is tough; once you become enslaved to its influence, it continues to threaten to take until you have little left to give. It takes grace and courage to say “No, I will not be your slave anymore.” Of course, abortion doesn’t eliminate a problem; it eliminates a blessing, for the child, for parents, for grandparents and the life they may touch one day. Please pray for her parents and ask God to move their anxieties into joy, and help them to protect their own daughter from the anguish and regret of “might have been.” My wife and I will join you and pray for God’s peace and mercy for your family.

In His mercy, God gave us the ideal example of motherhood, whose obedience to His will and acceptance of His grace, brought to us and for us His own Son:

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee
blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, mother of God, pray for us sinners
now and at the hour of our death, Amen.
 
Always choose life. In the end, “it is a child, not a choice.”

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee
blessed art thou amongst women,
and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, mother of God, pray for us sinners
now and at the hour of our death,

Amen.
 
I pray they decide against the abortion. This child needs a chance at life. She can always opt to give the baby up for adoption. This child will need special care and love.
 
Dear Lee:

I can totally understand your concern(s). However, I have too agree with Cricket2. In my eyes, they should go ahead and consider allowing the birth and giving the baby up for adoption rather than seeking abortion.

A Brother In Faith, Craig
 
Please contact Catholic Social Services in your area, they can help all of you.
Memorare

REMEMBER, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, or sought thy intercession was left unaided. Inspired with this confidence, I fly to thee, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother; to thee do I come; before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in thy mercy hear and answer me. Amen.

I second this. Know that you can only give advice, they have to make the decision. You can at least advise them according to God so that you do the right thing. It’s always the right decision to agree with God for everyone involved no matter how difficult it is.

I agree with Cricket2 too.

Holy Michael the Archangel defend us in the day of battle.
Be our safeguard against the wickedness and snares of the devil.
May God rebuke him, we humbly pray,
and do Thou, O Prince of the Heavenly Host,
by the Power of God,
thrust down to hell satan and all the wicked spirits,
who wander through the world for the ruin of souls.
Amen.

Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone fled to your protection, implored your help, or sought your intercession and was left forsaken. Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto you, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother. To you I come, before you I stand, a sorrowful sinner. Despise not my words, O Mother of the Word, but in your mercy, hear and answer me.
Amen
 
Their actions created a life only through the will of God. This little life belongs to God. They cannot kill this child. This child deserves the same chance as they had in life. She must carry the child to term, and if their lives are so messed up they cannot care for him or her, you could adopt the child or the child could be adopted by better parents. Even if the child has been exposed to hard drugs, that child deserves a chance to know God and live.

Pray to St. Jude and St. Rita, and the Holy Mother. They will help you in your pleas to Jesus. And go to mass. Every day.
 
Every baby is a blessing.

Please Jesus, let this young couple know that even if they are not able to parent thier baby at this time, the child will be a blessing to a childless couple.Please let them realize that abortion is murder, and will have psychological effects on them for years to come. Please guide the girlfriends parents not to force any evil hasty decisions, and give them the strength to be loving and compassionate during this time.

Give this young couple the strength to do what God wants them to do.

May God and all the Saints in heaven protect this unborn baby.
Amen

I am sorry this has happened. You and your family will be in my prayers. Your son is now a Father so this is YOUR grand son. I think he should take responsibility for his actions and raise the child. If the girl get the abortion she will be damaged to a degree that takes decades to heal from.
 
Praying that the Lord may guide your words and actions as you meet them. Also praying that your son and his girlfriend may choose life.

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou amongst women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen

This child deserves to be given life. Adoption is an alternative. Even if this child is born with a physical complication due to the parents drug involvement. Who’s to say that the life of the weaker is worth any less than the life of the stronger. I’m praying for you, the parents, the unborn child and both families. God bless all of you.
 
Do your best to help them understand the options available that will allow the child to live.

Our Father who art in Heaven, hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread,
And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.

Amen

Adoption is an option, too! 👍
 
NOOOO!!! Please dont agree to the abortion. God has directed me to reply to this post because it is my service now to reach out to women who are considering abortion. I promised God, on my son, that i would save every life after i chose to anort my unborn baby. :"((( i was 6 weeks when i visited the abortion clinic and took the pill form to KILL my son!!! :"((
IT WILL NEVER GO AWAY! AND YOU AND YOUR SON WILL SUFFER FOREVER!! It’ll HAUNT YOU! THE GUILT NEVER REALLY GOES AWAY AND IT IS MENTAL TORMENT! Not only will you lose your beautiful God-send grandson but your son too!! Your SON WILL HATE YOU N HE WILL NEVER NEVER EVER FORGET THAT YOU KILLED HIS SON!! HE WILL NEVER FORGIVE YOU! You will, EVERY DAY , for the rest of your life, TORMENT YOURSELF OVER THE MURDER OF YOUR OWN GRANDSON! Every child’s laugh, every baby out fit, every toy, every pregnant woman, every Christmas ( baby Jesus), every lullabye, every school child, every movie, every birth, every baby shower, every time “baby” is said or read, EVERY THING WILL REMIND YOU OF YOUR MURDERED GRANDSON!
Pleassse dont give in to evil. Satan is waiting on the other end to prevail in his success to KILL innocent Babies. You wont ever find peace. And her family will then blame you and speak of you as a MURDERER and people will disgrace you and speak evil things of you!
You have no idea, the DAMAGE you are about to cause in your own life, your son’s life, and her family’s life.
God is GREAT! Maybe this couple needs a God send child to turn their lives around. NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE WITH CHRIST! ACCEPT THE LIFE HAS GIVEN YOUR SON TO CHANGE HIS DRUG ADDICTION. Maybe he’ll change for the better. 🙂
If youre ready to KILL your own life through depression, and misery because of an evil act, i dont know that you wont go crazy and end up committing suicide over it.
After my abortion, i was at near death because of my own guilt and unforgiveness. I went to a womens retreat to get help, and every woman there, was suffering mental disorders, were either severely depressed, few had been in asylums because it drove them to go psychologically insane, several had attempted suicide but failed, 1 had been allowed to join the retreat but had to return on sunday to the mental facility, others were grieving the death of their marriages because they couldnt deal with it, all of us there were MENTALLY DISTURBED AT THE HORRIFIC EVIL WICKED ACT!!
