Prayer Request and Abortion Question

[The_fool_1]

Hi all. I hate that this is my first post here; I’ve been browsing this place a lot recently as a get back in touch with my faith.

My girlfriend of two years appears to be pregnant. It’s not certain yet, but definitely possible. I am worried that our relationship has weakened to the point where she will just chemically abort. We live in her country (Korea), and she is very close to her mom who lives nearby and would definitely make her have one. What should I do? Will I be excommunicated? How hard do I need to try to prevent this? I mean, it’s a murder, so do I need physically keep her from doing it (non-violently of course)? I feel that I can’t be passive, but to what degree?

I’d like to ask each person who reads this to say a short prayer for us, that God’s will will be done in this situation and that if tough decisions come we will both make the right ones.
Thanks all and God bless.

(Please move this if it’s in the wrong section.)

Abortion is wrong, my friend and yes, murder. Catholics believe a baby is conceived at conception. If you can talk to a Priest who can counsel that would be what I’d do. I’m sorry for this trial and the stress you’re going through.

I will definitely pray for you.

Love ya’ll,
Sheila is my real name.

**Ave Maria, gratia plena, Dominus tecum.
Benedicta tu in mulieribus,
et benedictus fructus ventris tui, Iesus.
Sancta Maria, Mater Dei,
ora pro nobis peccatoribus, nunc,
et in hora mortis nostrae.
Amen.

Hail Mary in Latin… I think it sounds beautiful.

Yes, I’m very aware it’s murder and a grave sin; however, the baby would not physically be in my body so I can only try to prevent my girlfriend from harming the baby.

Normally I would ask a priest, but the closest English speaking one I know of is two hours away. I’m in a foreign country.

Thank you for your prayers, I need them and truly appreciate them.

Lord God, please give The_fool wisdom and strength. Help him realize the best step to undertake during this difficult time. Lead him to people, frineds, and groupsmthat can support him, please bless his girlfriend, may she realize how precious life is if she is pregnant. Give them both a steadfast faith in You so that they will not stray from your oath of goodness. St. Gianna, pray for them.

do everything you can , and try to change her mind -

I had a similar situation and let the girl choose to abort and even drove her - it felt wrong but I figured it was her choice - and i was away from the church for some time

im incredibly sorry for that decision, and I asks gods forgiveness everyday

and now that I do have a child it makes it even worse you don’t what this feeling!

also I pray for you!!!

Hail Mary,

O my Jesus
Forgive us our sins,
save us from the fires of Hell
lead all souls to Heaven
especially those most in need of thy mercy.
