My 19yo neice is being pressured to have an abortion by her mom, grandmother, and great-grandmother. 
Her mother has already made the appt for the abortion. She apparently told her it isn't that bad since years ago she had an abortion when she was 4 months pregnant.
My neice is 3 months along. The pressure of the baby's father not in the picture, an old boyfriend back in the picture who doesn't know....she has no job....she didn't finish high school....
Your prayers are needed for this baby and would be greatly appreciated! Please also pray that I have the right words that don't make her defensive and shut me out.
------------------------------------------------------------ -
Final Update 3/26
My neice had her baby today.  Such an amazing journey and it has actually passed so fast.
She was induced yesterday at 8am (baby was due 9 days ago)and had the baby at 1pm today.
She named her Eva Maria (named after my mom and Aunt) weighed over 9lbs.
Just wanted to share.....SHE'S HERE.

Praying. It takes a lot of strength to withstand that pressure even if she wanted to.

I was thinking the same thing as Nancy - there are just so many that would welcome that baby in their arms!
I'm begging Our Lady to stand with your niece and fill her with the strength and courage needed to protect this little life. And, I'm praying for you, Michaela! May the Holy Spirit grant you wisdom and understanding so that you gently press upon her the enormity of the decision she is facing and the tenderness of the little life that depends upon her courage!
St. Michael defend this mother and this new little life!

Oh Michaela! This is so very sad, to know such pressure is being applied and what a time and way to find out that she has lost a sibling the same way, just horrifying..I know of a girl in Australia that was told a similar thing in the purpose of getting her to abort her first pregnancy and she did..just so sad.
I am praying for this neice!

Begging Jesus, Mary and Joseph to protect the life of this little one.
Such a hard situation, yet every life is so precious!

Very very sad indeed. Sending up a prayer right now. There are indeed so many who would happily give this child a happy home for this young mother - I'm sure that many on this board would happily take in this young woman to help her get through this tough time in a minute.
May she find the strength and support and courage to let this child live.
