Remember, It’s Your Decision
Your loved ones might pressure you to choose abortion for several reasons. Whether they are projecting personal opinions about parenting or adoption or simply feel you should make a choice they agree with, this pressure can be intrusive.
It’s critical to remember that making a sound choice is difficult when outside voices affect your judgment. Ultimately, the pregnancy decision is yours to make, and you deserve to weigh your options without coercion.
Speak Openly About Your Needs
Remember, you should never feel unsafe around a loved one. If you are being abused, there is hope. The National Domestic Violence Hotline can provide 24/7 support and resources.
Sometimes, big changes can occur by speaking openly and honestly about your needs. An unplanned pregnancy can cause people in your life to speak out of concern or anxiety. While they may want the best for you, their opinions can make you feel pressured and unheard.
Setting clear boundaries about what you’ll discuss with them can help set the tone for future conversations. While it isn’t your responsibility to manage people’s reactions, being transparent about your needs can help them offer the right kind of support.
Gather Essential Information About Your Options
You have three options for your pregnancy: parenting, adoption, and abortion. By learning about each option, you can feel comfortable with your decision.
Here, you won’t find judgment or pressure. It’s your choice; we’ll help you get all the information you need.
