WHAT TO DO
WHEN A FRIEND IS
CONSIDERING ABORTION
(Part 1 of 2)
More women and girls consider abortion than we may realize. They are our relatives
and friends, our babysitters, teammates, people who work with us or for us, married or
unmarried. Even if someone identifies as being pro-life, the shock of an unexpected
pregnancy, the devastation of a difficult prenatal diagnosis, shame, pressures, or fears
may influence her to consider abortion.
.
If someone shared with you she was pregnant and hadn't ruled out having an abortion,
would you know how to respond? The answer can be summed up in an old adage: We
have two ears and one mouth, and should use them in that proportion.
.
Although the first instinct may be to convince her that abortion ends a baby's life,
hearing facts is not the first thing she needs. Research shows that many women in a
pregnancy crisis think, "This is the end of my life as I know it." To face the challenges
before her, your friend needs to know you care about her for her own sake and she is
not alone.
.
First listening to your friend will help build trust and facilitate openness. Eventually,
when she knows you truly care about her and she trusts you, you can share the truth in
love. You can share facts about abortion, her own intrinsic worth, and the practical help
and support available so she can choose life for herself and her baby.
.
A truly loving approach reflects St. Paul's description of love in his first letter to the
Corinthians: "If I speak in human and angelic tongues, but do not have love, I am a
resounding gong or a clashing cymbal. … Love is patient, love is kind" (1 Cor. 13:1,4).
.
When a woman is facing a difficult pregnancy, the reaction of the first person she tells
tends to set the tone for her decision-making. How do we respond to our friend in a
loving way that is life-affirming for both her and her baby? Consider the four steps of the
L.O.V.E. Approach: Listen and Learn, Open Options, Vision and Value, and Extend and
Empower. (to be continued on October 17, 2021)

QUÉ HACER
SI UNA AMIGA
PIENSA EN ABORTAR
(Part 1 of 2)
Más mujeres y niñas consideran el aborto de lo que pensamos. Familiares y amigas, nuestras niñeras,
compañeras de equipo o de trabajo, casadas o solteras. Incluso si alguien se identifica como pro vida,
la impresión de un embarazo inesperado, la devastación de un diagnóstico prenatal
adverso, la vergüenza, presiones o temores pueden influir en que considere el aborto.
Si una persona compartiera contigo que está embarazada y no ha descartado tener un aborto, ¿sabrías
responder? La respuesta está en el viejo adagio: Tenemos dos oídos y una boca, y debemos usarlos en esa
proporción.
Aunque el impulso inicial puede ser convencerla de que el aborto termina con la vida de un bebé, eso no es
lo primero que ella necesita escuchar. Estudios muestran que muchas mujeres que pasan por esto piensan:
"Es el final de mi vida tal como la conozco". Lo que tu amiga necesita saber es que tú te preocupas por ella y
que no está sola.
Escuchar primero a tu amiga ayudará a crear confianza y facilitar la apertura. Cuando sepa que realmente te
preocupas por ella y confíe en ti, podrás compartir la verdad en el amor y después compartir hechos sobre el
aborto, hacerle ver a tu amiga su propia valía intrínseca, y la ayuda y apoyo práctico disponible para que
pueda elegir la vida para ella y su bebé.
El verdadero amor es descrito así por san Pablo: "Aunque yo hablara las lenguas de los hombres y de los
ángeles, si no tengo amor, no soy más que una campana que resuena o unos platillos que aturden. ... El amor
es comprensivo, el amor es servicial" (1 Cor13,1.4).
Cuando una mujer enfrenta un embarazo difícil, la reacción de la primera persona a la que se lo dice suele
influir en su toma de decisiones. ¿Cómo respondemos a nuestra amiga de una manera amorosa que exprese
la afirmación de la vida para ella y su bebé?
Considere los cuatro pasos del enfoque L.O.V.E. Approach: Listen and Learn(Escuchar y conocer),
Open Options (Opciones abiertas), Vision and Value (Visión y valor) y Extend and Empower (Extender y
empoderar). (continuará el 17 de octubre de 2021)
