You want to know if you should tell her not to have an abortion.

Tell her NOT to have an abortion. Tell her that there are thousands of people who would take that baby in a minute, and love it to death.

All of my friends have adopted. All of them.

Many of them could not have kids, so they went the adoption route.

One of them had an abortion when she was young, and found out later that she could not have any more kids. So she adopted.

If anyone would have asked me if abortion is right or wrong 30 years ago, the old Melody would have gone on and on about it's a woman's body, and it's a woman's right, and it's legal. Yeah, I know.

But (and this is only MY opinion), your ex DIL should have been using birth control, I mean, what was she thinking???

But honestly, because there are other options, I think it's perfectly fine to run it by her that she can give this baby to a loving home.

I remember my friend (30 years ago), who had had a miscarriage. She tried to adopt so many times. She met up with a guy who demanded $20,000 up front. She brought her diamond earrings. She gave him her diamond earrings. She went back the next day and the whole office was gone. He had set up a scam and took her for everything she had. She didn't care. She just wanted a baby. She finally adopted one and I'll tell you, that was the happiest thing I ever experienced.

She would call me up at 7 a.m. and say "Melody, there's an apple in bed with me". I would say "are you out of your mind? (this was a Saturday). She would say 'come and bring bagels".

I would get up, bring over some bagels, and she'd get out the cream cheese, and there I was on the floor with her son, rolling this big ball. She got him at 3 months old. He was the chubbiest little thing.

Why am I against abortion?? Because I saw the film "The Silent Scream".

Changed my views on abortion big time.

But it is still a woman's right to do what she wants with her body. And it is legal. I don't know why it's legal. But it's legal.

So whatever decision she ultimately makes, well all we can do is say 'best of luck", and whatever you do, well, make the best decision you can make for yourself.

She is the one who has to live with any decision she makes, right??

I just can't believe, that with all the birth control out there, young women are still getting pregnant.

What a shame.

I wish her well.
