When an unexpected pregnancy occurs, it can be a confusing and difficult time. You will need to make an important decision, and outside pressure does not make things any easier.
Your partner, or even your family, may want you to abort, but an abortion choice will impact you the most. There are facts you need to know before making that decision.
What to Consider Before Choosing An Abortion:
1. What Are the Physical Risks of Abortion?
Both medical and surgical abortions have physical side effects and risks. Understanding what they are will help you make an informed choice.
2. Can an Abortion Affect You Emotionally?
In a situation where the woman makes her own decision to abort without pressure or coercion, there can be emotional side effects.
However, if you feel pressured, you could be at a greater risk of negative mental health impacts after abortion. That’s why you must choose confidently for yourself.
Do You Want To Abort?
This is the bottom line. No matter how many other people in your life want you to abort, the only opinion that matters is yours!
Research shows that those who struggle the most with an abortion are women who never really wanted one in the first place. Here are some questions you can ask yourself before making your choice:
1. What Are Your Personal Feelings About Abortion?
Have you always been against abortion, or is it something you believe in? What were you raised to believe?
What are your spiritual convictions? Will having an abortion go against your beliefs?
2. Do You Want to Parent?
What were your feelings when you found out you were pregnant? Were you excited or filled with fear and anxiety?
