Scheduling an abortion does not mean you have given up your right to reconsider.
You may have made the appointment when you were feeling overwhelmed, responding to pressure from someone else, or believing abortion was your only realistic option. If you are questioning that decision now, you can stop and look at your situation again.
Choices Family Resource Centers offers no-cost, confidential appointments to help you weigh all your options, not just the one you were initially considering. Schedule a visit with us today for more information.
You Have the Right to Change Your Mind
You always have the right to decide not to move forward with an abortion.
You can cancel the appointment, leave the clinic, or take a moment to reevaluate your options. A partner, parent, friend, or anyone else may have an opinion, but no one has the right to force or pressure you into an abortion.
If you feel that someone is making the decision for you, it’s crucial to pay attention to that. Your questions and concerns still matter, even if an appointment is already on the calendar. This is your decision, and it ultimately affects you most.
Find Out What Parenting Could Look Like
If parenting interests you but you have concerns about finances, the future, or anything else, we offer support that extends beyond pregnancy.
Through our Earn While You Learn Program, you can participate in educational classes and earn material support until your child turns two.
We also provide maternity and infant supplies such as maternity clothing, diapers, wipes, car seats, cribs, and mattresses. When additional help is needed, our staff can connect you with community resources as well.
Learning what is actually available may change how you view parenting. With the right support and encouragement, you may decide to take another look at this option.
Ask Questions About Adoption
Adoption is another option you can research before making a final decision.
We can offer information about adoption, including the financial and material assistance you may be entitled to during pregnancy, and can refer you to reputable adoption agencies.
A licensed adoption professional can explain the placement process, your rights, how adoptive families are selected, and the different levels of contact that may be possible after adoption.
Getting this information does not commit you to placing your child for adoption. However, it can help you understand what this option might look like and the flexibility you have to create a plan that aligns with your wishes.
We’re Here to Support You
If you are having second thoughts before a scheduled abortion, you do not need to ignore them just because an appointment has already been made.
You can take another look at options like parenting and adoption and decide what you want after getting the information you need.
