So you're considering abortion?
Get the facts before you decide.
If you feel like now isn't a good time to have a baby, you are not alone. Approximately forty-five percent of pregnancies come as a surprise. When being pregnant isn't what you had planned for yourself - at least not now - a positive pregnancy test can be a HUGE SHOCK. When dealing with any kind of shock, it's healthy to give yourself space and time to feel what you feel and to thoroughly process your situation as well as the implications of your response to your situation. Facing an unplanned pregnancy is not that different from other detours in your life that you've already walked through, but at first, it can feel like an all-consuming, dead-end, inescapable trap. That's why it is important not to rush into abortion. Terminating your pregnancy is a decision that you can't take back, so it's worth it to take the time you need now to make sure you won't have any regrets later.
That means it's important to:
-
confirm that you actually do have a viable pregnancy.
-
determine how far along you are in your pregnancy.
-
consider which abortion options are available to you (scroll down for more information).
-
learn about the potential physical and emotional side effects abortion may cause.
-
read about other people's abortion stories.
-
consider all of your pregnancy options in light of how you feel today, how you may feel next year, five years and even ten to twenty-five years later.
If you'd like to make sure that your pregnancy is viable and talk through your options with someone who understands where you are and what you're facing, please consider scheduling an appointment. There will be no judgment - just a listening ear, truthful information, and tangible resources you can utilize now. No matter what you decide, we are here for you.
