How to Talk to a Friend Who's Had an Abortion


 

Andie’s Story

"One night my best friend in high school called me, totally in tears... She told me she got pregnant her first semester at State and let her boyfriend talk her into an abortion. It was the baby's due date the night she called... What could I say? I had no clue how to deal with this. Growing up we were both pro-life.
 
...I told her to try to get over it and think about her future. And I thought she was just being dramatic when she said she didn't have a future anymore. But I found out that, a few days later, she tried to kill herself. I keep wishing I had said something that could have helped her instead of making her feel more alone.
