A study by the National Library of Medicine revealed that “Women who feel pressured to agree to abortion are more likely to experience negative emotional and mental health reactions.”
Whether the pressure coming from your friends or family is subtle or not, it’s never okay for someone to pressure you into an abortion decision.
Find the space you need to make an informed pregnancy decision for your future. Our compassionate team at North Care can help you decide for yourself.
Take a Step Back
When you start feeling pressure from your friends and family, take a step back to find answers for yourself. You are already in a vulnerable spot, and it’s easy to become susceptible to pressure as your emotions are everywhere.
