[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I belong to a very conservative sect but my views differ from many of my friends and family. I have learned that in order to keep my frienships that I started as a child, I need to let issues rest. I had to come to the understanding that my friend and I would never see eye-to-eye on some issues, but I didn't want that to mean we weren't going to be friends anymore. Of course, we both had to realize this, and agree to not talk about the things that we got fired up about and butted heads about.
Because of my background, I can understand how your friend doesn't want her in your life. Religious people are like this sometimes, and it's really sad. Over time, she might change, and you can leave the door open for her to continue your friendship. My advice would be to not keep talking about the abortion issue, but let her know by a letter she can keep and re-read what her friendship means to you, and that you'll always be there. 
Maybe she might change her mind on the issue if she has someone close to her that goes through an experience similar. Sometimes experiences are the only things that can change people. [/quote]
