Is there anything to drink in oder to get rid of a 5weeks pregnancy?

Answer
Dear Rose,

I do not recommend abortion at all. I have counseled hundreds of women over the years and most women do regret their abortion. There are possible side effects health-wise to you in the future. Medical, emotional, psychological and spiritual consequences.

Some of the problems women experience after abortion are guilt, suicidal thoughts, spiritual problems and regret, etc. There is nothing to drink that I know of. Do you already have an appointment scheduled and when?

The first thing I would recommend would be to join our unplanned pregnancy group at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/unplanned_pregnancy_help/ and
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/pregnant_teen_support/

Then email me at CHERYL51@aol.com so we can talk more in private. Then do some research on the internet to research the abortionist to make sure all is ok.

Hope to hear from you soon.
