[quote=Anonymous]My good friend of 15+ years is pregnant. She's not planning on keeping it. The father is an absolute dirtbag and they've been doing this on and off again thing for a couple of years now. I feel for her because I know first hand how emotionally and physically draining it is to end a pregnancy.

I'm getting married in two months and she is my maid of honour. There's multiple events coming up like my shower, bachelorette, dress fittings, etc that I was hoping she could participate in. However dealing with a looming abortion is likely going to impact her participation. And I realize this makes me sound like an absolute asshole but I'm almost hoping she will bow out of her MOH duties.

I really want to be supportive but at the same time keep some boundaries and not ask her to participate in wedding-related stuff that might be hard on her. I should add that she lives in Canada and has to come across the border every time and I really really feel like I'm pushing her to the limit as is let alone asking her to be supportive to me while she's dealing with a termination.

I hope I don't sound insensitive. I don't want to broach the subject with her moreso than "I totally get it if being involved in wedding stuff is too much to ask and if need be you're more than welcome to come as a guest"
