 I think 16 is a little young to be having an abortion.
You are old enough to have sex in most countries at that age, it's certainly the legal age here, so why would it be too young to have an abortion? Around and before that age a womans body isnt necessarily ready to carry a child to full term, so having an abortion, in my opinion, you can never be "too young" you can be too young and misguided to have sex, though. But 16 is legal, so it's not too young to have an abortion. Pregnancy can do just as much, if not more damage to your body if you carry to full term.

From a distance you look like my friend,
even though we are at war.

Yeah-I suppose you're right. But still, it seems soo young. Maybe because I was a late bloomer, I didn't have sex until I was 19.

Of course things can happen and women can still become pregnant while on birth control. But I do want to point out something about this girl. Women rarely come out after abortion all happy and giddy and careless. It takes a lot out of a human being, and the way one perceives the idea and procedure has everything to do with the way they are able to deal with it. Just because to you she seems as though the girl doesn't care, she probably does. Viewing it as a "speck" may only be a way for her to justify her actions. It has been researched and proven that when a woman refers to a baby as "it" and does not call it a baby, or a living human being, has great impact on her ability to deal with the aftermath of an abortion. You should probably think twice.
This. This. This. In my opinion, you claim you respect her rights but are personally pro-life. If that is the case, what are you doing pressing her with questions, or judging her on her choices? You say she is "oblivious to reality"... to what reality? Your concept of what "reality" as far as abortions are concern are not fact, they are opinions and you need to view it as such. It isn't your body, and if you don't see eye-to-eye about the matter I'd avoid having conversations about it with her.

I haven't had a chance to reply, so I'm going to address your first post as well. Seeing your friend in a new light isn't wrong, especially since abortion isn't something you believe in. However, it WAS her choice, and at 16, she is completely responsible for her actions, and she did what was right for her. Her thinking is a little off thinking she isn't going to get pregnant again, but no birth control is 100%, and I don't think she realizes that. Birth control is only as effective when it's taken correctly, every day at the same time. Do you know if she does this? If so, then she really doesn't have anything to worry about, but the possibility is still there. However, she's at the age when she can start thinking and doing things for herself. If an abortion was best for her at the time, there isn't anything YOU can do to change her feelings about it. It's her choice, and you can't push her to see your views just because you're pro-life. I hope things work out with your friend, and I wish you the both the best of luck.
