You know I really feel for you all, as a mum myself, and also having 2 children without being married, so I can see views from both sides.
1. You being Mum, can see the concerns, but like me a Christian does not believe in abortion.
2. Your daughter, yes also she sounds just like me years ago, even though I don't know her age. Her poor head will be spinning, looking for an answer out of it all. All she'll think at the moment is 'I can't cope', shes scared of not coping, and the only way out to her is abortion, to rid the fears concerns and worries. If shes anything like I was thats all she can see abortion and shove it under the carpet so to speak. Luckily she has you as her Mum, who can help her understand things better. Now I'm a counsellor too, so heres just something that might bring her back to reality if you've not already tried it.
Rather than putting all the issues on the baby. Talk to her about the after affects of abortion. Issues like:-
Infirtility(at risk)
Guilt she'll always suffer it never goes
Complications with op (well known)
Early Menapause (possibly when older)
Depression (can be severe)
Always wondering if they are a murderer.
Mention all these risks, tell her you'll support her 100% when she has the child, all she needs to know is that shes going to get help, be loved through this. And why risk all that above, when she can have a lovely child, with support and a great Mum to help her. She will be undergoing depression and shock now but in years to come there will be a reason, wether shes Christian or not.
You obviously will be upset yourself at whats happened, but remember you to are in shock, maybe see a counsellor together to help you both accept this.
Lord I pray for this family, and ask you will truly intervene in everyway, may the daughter realise that the baby she is carrying is yours and you will provide help, let her realise that this child is there for a reason and together mother and daughter will become even closer through this. I ask in Jesus name. Amen

Everyone please join with me in prayer. Once again I am asking for prayer for my daughter. I have just finished praying for her myself under the beackoning of the Holy Spirit. She is expecting about 6 weeks not married and this will be her second, however she is mixed up in some things or even a relationship that may not be of God I have been seeking God on whether if this man will be her new husband or if not that he will sever the tie between them even though she is expecting his child. She has spoken she wishes for a abortion. We STRONGLY are against this. and are trying to convince her otherwise. My daughter has a call on her life from a early age and she is so mixed up right now and living this house with us. It is hard to not become so frustrated.. Please Please pray as I believe the Lord is calling her or trying to deal with her this day. Thank you for all who will join with us in prayer.
Gods blessings to you!
