[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would honor her choice, OP.
But then I'm a European and come from a country where abortions aren't as controversial as here, and therapy is not consumed like candy.

[b]What I would tell your daughter, is that while she may not feel conflicted and in need of support now, she might very well feel in need of therapy later, perhaps years from now, perhaps when she's ready to have children. And that this is normal, and she can get therapy AT ANY TIME in her life, related to this abortion.[/b]

And good job OP for raising children who trust you!

This is perfect. I had an abortion at 21 and promptly got on with the rest of my life. Many years later, after I was a mother, I would occasionally become wistful and ponder the “what ifs.” The young are forward thinking and self-absorbed in developmentally appropriate ways. I do think she learned a difficult lesson with her boyfriend’s parents- best to keep your private life private, number of lovers, abortions, etc.  People judge, even good people.
