Its To Late To Want To Have An Abortion . Abortions Are Suppose To Be Dne Frm 6 Weeks To 4 Months . I Would Consider Having The Baby Since Youre So Close And Since There's Nothing You Can Do About It Is To Give The Baby Up For Adoption . If You Dont Want The Baby Give It To Someone Who Does Or Is Unable To Have A Baby .

Not only is what she thinking very dangerous to her, in some states she could be charged with murder.
It is well document at trial where a pregnant women is killed, be it in a motor vehicle accident or by means of a violent act. The perpetrator(s)are being charged with two crimes. The killing of the mother is one and the killing of the fetus is the other. The guilty verdicts are still on appeal for the killing of the fetus but have been up held in the higher courts.
Your friends best options at this late date is only one. To have the baby and give it up for adoption. There is a couple out their somewhere who will give the child a loving home. No matter how your friend feels the child deserves that.
Your friend bears no fault for being raped, no women does. The child does not deserve to be aborted at a time when it could survive outside the womb and to do so is also illegal. The child did not ask to be conceived and certainly did not ask to be the product of rape.
Since it is and will come into this world just as innocent as its mother. It is in the best interest of all that the baby be put up for adoption.
Your friend also need psychological help to get over the trauma of the rape and having to bear a child. There is an organization called RAINN which stands for: Rape, Abuse, Incest, National Network. They operate a hotline to help people like your friend find the proper help so they can move on with their lives. Their number is 1-800-656-HOPE. They also have a website you can look at and contact them through.

Please ask your friend to contact them. I know they can help her and keep reminding her that being raped was not her fault.
I hope your friend has charged the person who raped her for his crime. Once the baby is born the DNA testing will help with the conviction.

I'm pretty sure that no one will give your friend the abortion pill if she's 8 months pregnant. In fact, I think doctors rarely will abort a fetus after the first trimester. Late-term abortions can be dangerous to the carrying mother, and any doctor who's willing to help your friend at this point is not a good doctor.
That pill not something you can get over the counter - not to mention, the baby is fully formed and almost ready to come out by now. Yes, she was raped; yes, childbirth is scary, but she doesn't really have much of a choice, at this point. She needs to start looking for ways to put it up for adoption.
For the record, I am WAY pro-choice. Believe me, I have strict circumstances under which I'll allow myself to have a child; not before then, no matter what. So my opinion here isn't strictly "the baby deserves to live!"
I'm sorry about what happened to your friend. The best thing you can do for her is be there to support her, and keep her well-being in mind. Please talk her out of this idea. I doubt she'll be able to get the tablet anyway, but on the offchance that she does, it's dangerous and stupid - don't let her do it.

She shouldn't do it. She's eight months pregnant, therefore she only has a couple of weeks left. If she doesn't want the child, please talk her into adoption.
I'm against abortion by all means, but abortion isn't the way to go. I understand she is pregnant from rape, but she should have got the abortion alot sooner instead of eight months pregnant. She will be killing an innocent life. Tell her to carry out the next couple of weeks, and put the baby up for adoption. That why she won't have any major regrets later down the road, and if she still wants to see/contact the baby, she can have an open adoption. There are 34, 212 people in the world who cannot have kids. They are desperate to have a little on of their own. She would make a person very happy to give them her little one, instead of killing it.

Seek abortion or adoption but trying to harm the child is not an option, Performing self abortion can end up killing you.
