Question
My friend is thinking of having an abortion. She really doesn't know if she wants to but she feels trapped. Her boyfriend and parents are really telling her she needs to have an abortion. What can she do? thanks

Answer
Hi Kim,

Thanks for your question. I found your question in the question pool just now. That means that you had asked someone on allexperts.com your question but that person couldn't answer it for some reason.
So they put your question in the question pool and that's where I found it. I know that your question was asked a few days ago so perhaps the situation with your friend has already been decided. If she hasn't had the abortion, tell her about this website http://www.optionline.org or http://www.heartbeatinternational.org/worldwide_directory
Also, give her my email address DCHERYL51@yahoo.com and I would be glad to talk to her. Let me know how I can help. If she had the abortion already, then I can help with post abortion counseling. So please email me at the email address and I would love to find out what happens. Hopefully, she didn't have an abortion but let me know.

Sincerely,
Diane Cheryl
