Before You Decide

If you have a positive pregnancy test, you have the legal right to choose the outcome of your pregnancy. But real empowerment comes when you find the strength and resources necessary to make your best choice.

Take time to consider all your options and get counseling from someone who does not have a financial or personal stake in your decision.

Abortion

If you're thinking about finding an abortion clinic, it is important to remember that abortion is a medical procedure. What type will you have? What are the risks? You deserve to know the facts. You owe it to yourself to make an informed decision.

Perhaps you're thinking:

• The father is insisting on an abortion
• I'm not ready to be a parent
• I can't tell anyone I'm pregnant

We know exactly how you feel and you're not alone. Many of our staff have been where you are. If you're considering abortion, you need to know:

Are you really pregnant?

• Is your pregnancy normal? Or are you at risk for natural miscarriage? Or do you have a tubal pregnancy requiring immediate medical attention?
• How far along are you?

You may also be interested in knowing:

• What kinds of abortion are available to you?
• What are your rights with abortion providers?
• Are there any short-term or long-term risks to consider?

Facing an unplanned pregnancy can be frightening and overwhelming. Many think having an abortion will be a "quick fix." However, it is important to get all the facts before having an abortion.

• Take a pregnancy test to make sure you are pregnant
• Have an ultrasound to check for a viable pregnancy
• Learn about abortion procedures and the physical, emotional, and spiritual risks involved with abortion
• Learn about ALL your options

At the Pregnancy Resource Center, we have caring professionals and many resources available to help you make the most informed decision. The Pregnancy Resource Center also provides post-abortion counseling for women who are suffering from a past abortion.

We can help you understand your choices and your pregnancy, discuss your health and explain your options.

Adoption

You have lots of choices with adoption. Will it be open, semi-open, or closed? Will it be private or will you use an agency?

Today there are adoption plans in which you can know your child and be a part of your child's life. You can have the peace of knowing your child is loved and cared for by the couple you choose.

We can help you understand your adoption.

• My husband or boyfriend doesn't want the baby, but I do
• (for men) My girlfriend doesn't want the baby, but I do
• I can't tell my family
• How will I finish school?
• How will I continue working?
• Where will I live?
• I don't have medical insurance
