Back in college I had a fuck buddy at another school. One time I went to visit her and in the middle of messing around she breaks down in tears. Long story short she had an abortion when she was 16 (not mine, I only met her a few months prior) and at 20 it would still haunt her.
This is one of the side effects of abortion they don't tell you about if you have a conscience. Its an easy decision to make from a selfish standpoint, and almost all abortions are selfish in nature. Add to it the powerful female instinct for having/raising children, and the fact that she ended it herself and she may never get over it. She may also realize that she could have put the child up for adoption which will only make the selfish nature of the abortion sting more.
I've never had to deal with this beyond my friend, and we stopped seeing each other a few months later (unrelated to the abortion issue) so I have no idea how she is about it now.
While I'm not a big fan of counseling, in this case it may be the best thing. She may start to get even more depressed about this and even think of herself as a murderer of her own child. I would also perhaps talk to the counselor prior to her seeing them. Not only for your direct benefit to help you deal with it, but because in this case you want to make sure you find a counselor who is pro-abortion. This is just a feeling on my part, but I'd rather have a counselor who approached it from it’s a 'no big deal' stand point then a 'You are hurting because what you did you know was wrong' stand point.
