You can only vote on one answer.
She is pregnant by a mutual friend. The friend doesn't know. She wants to get an abortion but she doesn't want to tell him.

She confides in you because she trusts you and asks you not to tell the friend. What will you do?

I'd find out what she wants and then support her wishes. She's my friend and it's not about me.

@SW-User No i was simply informing you of what she wants incase you didn’t know. Not judging your choice.

@SW-User I agree with you 100%
SW-User
@TheunderdogofNY Ah ok, now i see, thanks! Sorry for misunderstanding. I'd still support her although it would be difficult with a mutual friend involved.
SW-User
If this friend truly knows me, there will already be the thought I don't agree with abortion and won't help anyone to have an abortion, especially if the father doesn't even know.
So... probably, if the friend is confiding in me it's because she really doesn't want an abortion... because I already stated friends of mine know I don't agree with abortions and won't help anyone get an abortion.

To be clear, you can support a friend and still try to have a different outcome. Supporting a friend doesn't have to mean getting the abortion done. Just how I see it.

I’d be pissed she told me anything cause I would tell the other friend she wants to kill the baby.
SW-User
I just feel like this is so wrong for her to abort the baby and the father know nothing.

Id be there for her. If she needed a ride,Id take her there. No stress.
Convince her to tell and keep the baby.

{@theunderdogofny] 🤔 she has rather put you in a difficult position . she may wanted to get it of her chest and burdened you with her problem . but at the end of the day you know about it and what she inntends to do . this really is between her andf her mutual friend and not really involves you what so ever the outcome

Me?...stop talking to both of them. I hate being in the middle of things, I can't take the stress. I guess that counts as do nothing, I'll vote that.

Support the (pregnant) friend I guess though I wouldn't feel comfortable keeping things from the other friend but oh well
That's hard. I wouldn't want to get in the middle but might feel like I owe both friends my loyalty.
Id tell her she should keep the baby. But it's up to her what she does.

I respect my friend’s wishes even though I disagree with her plan
Stay out of the muck.

Not my decision to make
caccoon · 36-40
UHM, obviously support her decision.
Mrsbetweenfatandfit · 26-30, F
That’s quite a thing to trust with someone. A very big decision for them and a secret to keep. I’d support them because they obviously are seeking and need it. I hope if this has happened in your life the woman is okay.
