Answer
Hi Naomi,

There really isn't anything you can do except try to be a friend and educate her. You might want to join the pregnancy group and ask this question to the other members. I don't think it is healthy for women to have abortions. There are physical risks, psychological, mental, spiritual, etc. I don't think it is good to have an abortion 4 months after another one. Try going to http://groups.yahoo.com/group/unplanned_pregnancy_help/ or pass this on to your friend. Keep loving her but you must give her tough love.
Good luck! My personal email address is DCHERYL51@yahoo.com if you want to talk more. oh, and also, you might want to refrain from calling her "Stupid" and try to be supportive. Thanks for being her friend, though. Talk soon!

Sincerely,
Diane Cheryl
