Hi, Lizzie,
This baby you are carrying is your other children's sibling. What will they think if they find out you destroyed their sibling? Please think about this. It is good for children to have siblings, especially when it means they might have to sacrifice a little. It teaches giving and compassion. If I found out my mother had aborted my sibling, I would be VERY upset. I'm not sure I could forgive her!
It will almost certainly cause alienation. How could it do otherwise?
Your baby is depending on you for your protection. Would you harm one of your other children? If not, why harm this one?
As for a chemical abortion, if it doesn't work, they'll have to do a D&C anyway, so you are taking that risk. Also, one of the two drugs they have to use is being used off-label. That's so the manufacturer won't get sued if it hurts you. Abortion by any method is dangerous. It could kill you or render you an invalid, unable to care for your other children. The least selfish option is to protect your child. It is also the most selfish, in a way, because in doing so, you are also protecting yourself.
My sister had a baby when she was 40. We all dote on him. He's the most loving child, and we REALLY appreciate him. She was given the option of abortion. She turned it down without a second thought. I had a baby when I was 35. I desperately did not want to be pregnant. But abortion was out of the question. And I am SO grateful we have him! He has been a huge blessing to all of us.
Hugs,
Pat
