reference:
what can someone say to a 33 year old social worker who was an only
child from a middle class background who is contemplating having an
aboriton due to career conflict and out of wedlock issues ? to talk her out
of it?
what if i am a stranger who found out about the problem inadvertently?
what if she is resentful of my involvemtn?
if i told he raprnets and she is angry at that
shou di follow up and still send people to contact her and talk her
out of it?
or will this ahve a paradoxical affect
i mean how will her anger towards me affect her diecision either way?
Answer You are right, that it can cause a person who is strong-willed to cling even further to his/her point of view if confronted by someone, especially a stranger. If though she is not 100% or nearly so convinced, then you can look at it like this: any chance of bad feelings or lack of ensuing friendship with this person is not as important as assisting in saving the baby's life. I would suggest you calmly ask her to speak with you or with you and your wife if married (may help to have another woman there) and to meet in an open area, maybe a park for example, and then simply lovingly state that you have heard of her intention and ask forgiveness if it sounds like an intrusion, but you want her to know that others will help her get through this, if she has the baby. The child will be a blessing, but she has to accept that blessing. God is already creating that child within her. Do not be harsh or stern. Do not irritate this woman but just show love. Many career-minded women have successfully given birth and continued toward their professional goals. I hope some of this helps.
