Consider Your Choices
If you have a positive pregnancy test, you have three main choices to consider.
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.
Your circumstances might be really tough. You are probably scared and confused. 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 of heard about ‘medical abortions’, of the ECP (“Emergency Contraception Pill” …otherwise known as the ‘morning after pill’), Methotrexate-Misoprostol or even RU486 (or Mifepristone). Or of surgical abortion methods like vacuum aspiration, D&C (Dilation and Curettage), D&E (Dilation and Evacuation) and D&X (Dilation and Extraction, or Partial Birth).
You may be interested in knowing:
- What kinds of abortions are available to you?
- What are your rights with abortion providers?
- Are there any short-term or long-term risks to consider?
We can help you understand your choices and your pregnancy, discuss your health and explain your abortion options.
Parenting
You may have more questions than answers about parenting or maybe the thought of becoming a parent seems impossible to you at this time. We've talked to hundreds of clients who are concerned about questions like:
- What if my partner doesn't want our baby but I do?
- How will I tell my family and friends?
- Can I finish school or continue working?
- Where will we live?
- How will I pay for medical care?
- Can I afford a child?
- Am I too young to be a good parent?
We can help you find answers to all these questions and more so you can decide if parenting is right for you.
Adoption
It’s totally normal if your first reaction to the idea of releasing your baby for adoption is “I could never do that.” However, adoption can be a caring and selfless option, especially if you:
- Don't want an abortion and aren't ready to be a parent
- Want to provide your child with a 2-parent family
- Want to provide your child emotional and financial stability.
In today's adoptions, you can know your child and be a part of your child's life or you can choose to remain completely anonymous until your child is an adult. Perhaps best of all, you can have the peace of knowing your child is loved and cared for by the couple you helped to choose.
We can help you understand your options with adoption.
