That's really rough. Abortion is something that stays with you for the rest of your life. If she hasn't gone for it yet than I would try to convince her to look at some alternatives first. Everyone I know that has had an abortion regrets it, even up to 30 years later! If she has already had it then try to be there for her. If she needs to maybe you guys could go to counseling together.
the best thing you can do is to actually mourn the baby. don't tell yourself that it wasn't an life yet cause it hadn't developed very much. go through all the stages of grief and make sure your little sister does the same thing. she needs to grieve over losin the baby otherwise it'll cause more problems then you realize. but don't push it on her, just make sure she understands that it's gonna really affect her and the she needs to deal with it and not bottle it all up.

If people would keep their legs closed OR use bc AND a condom, people wouldn't have to deal with abortions.
i say sit down with her and a cup of tea and talk about it.
make good points about the subject it could make u feel better, thats what id do!
Just deal with it I'm agaist it but then again I live in maryland VERy far away
you just have to deal, nothing you can really do. unless you want her o keep it and then you should research it on goggle.

just realize, it was her choice, and it was for the better.
I mean, you would want your sibling to have the best life possible. Well, maybe having the baby would have ruined everything, right?
Just realize it was done, and it was the past.
& always look to the future.
the same way you deal with a death
im against abortion but its her call maybe she knows shes not ready
it was her choice and its sad but she might realize that after its too late but its her choice so let it go.
