The best thing you can do for your sister is to encourage her to bring her pregnancy to term. There is a huge risk of breast cancer that comes with abortion that is rarely discussed. She may be causing herself a needless health issue. Please visit /www.abortionbreastcancer.com/The_Link.htm
"Induced abortion before first term pregnancy increases the risk of breast cancer." Lancet 2/22/86 pg. 436
I know that continuing her pregnancy would be difficult but it would allow her child to be born and for her to grieve properly for her baby. Remember, all children are perfect in God's eyes. Just because we don't see the situation as such doesn't mean it isn't so.
There is no easy answer.
Consider that not only physical complications accompany abortion but psychological as well:

Sequelae of Abortion
In a study of post-abortion patients only 8 weeks after their abortion, researchers found that 44% complained of nervous disorders, 36% had experienced sleep disturbances, 31% had regrets about their decision, and 11% had been prescribed psychotropic medicine by their family doctor. (2) A 5 year retrospective study in two Canadian provinces found significantly greater use of medical and psychiatric services among aborted women. Most significant was the finding that 25% of aborted women made visits to psychiatrists as compared to 3% of the control group. (3) Women who have had abortions are significantly more likely than others to subsequently require admission to a psychiatric hospital.
I pray she will continue with the pregnancy but if she doesn't, please be aware that she will need help and it is available. Visit: www.afterabortion.org
