I think you mean "... not keeping this to myself ...".

I cannot ethically advise you to break the law, unless there is a "higher law" which would supercede HIPAA. I don't see that there is.

Ask yourself what good you might accomplish by telling the mother. I have strong pro-life feelings myself, but it seems to me that what's done is done. My advice is to leave this up to God and the daughter.
