Would you risk you friendship over an abortion

It is not a matter of staking a friendship or a relationship over a principle. Your friend made a choice,which she is well within her right to do so. You as a friend could have supported her, or expressed your feelings (which you did)or could severe all contacts with her(because you dislike the option she exercised). For good or for bad, a friend is a friend is a friend. That is one way to look at life. After all nobody is perfect. We all make mistakes in life.At this time,your friend definitely looks upto you for succour, help and good wishes. And remember, being good friends does not mean that you agree with each other all the time. After all , only fools think alike.

i would not be upset with you. everyone is entitled to how they feel on this issue and if you are not comfortable with being apart of what she needs to do for herself then she should understand. i would not stop being friends with someone just because we didn't agree on a topic. supporting her choice doesn't have to include a ride

Tell her to find someone else. If you can respect her decision, she should respect yours. If she is threatening to cut you out of her life because you won't accompany her, then she isn't a very good cousin or friend. I would try my hardest to convince her to put it up for adoption instead. But if she is set on abortion, then so be it. But if it were me, I would definitley not go. I'm sorry, but family or not, I could not support the decision. I can respect her decision because it is her right. I would be there for emotional support after the fact, but to actually be there? No way.

At some point we have to stand up for what we believe in. And a true friend wouldn't ask you to participate in something that was against your moral values. I can understand her disappointment, though, if you were someone she could always count on.

I do not know why it is you feel you cannot take your cousin there. I really do not understand you from what you have written in your post. You say you think it is her choice. I am sure she knows how you feel about this. Still she has made this choice, and needs your help. I am sure it was a difficult choice for her to make. She knows you disagree. I do not think she will believe you agree with her choice if you bring her to the clinic. What you will be doing is not aid with the abortion. You will be helping your cousin and friend, someone you love, on a day that will be extremely hard for her to get through. That is an important part of a friendship to me: be there for your friends even if you disagree with their choice. I understand if your cousin gets very sad and dissapointed with your choice. Not because you do not share her view on abortion, but because she feels you are turning your back on her.
