Some signs you’re being pressured into an abortion could be more subtle than others, but it doesn’t make it okay. If you’re considering your pregnancy options and are feeling unsupported during your decision-making process, find a safe and non-judgmental place to talk.
We at North Care Women’s Clinic are here to listen and provide insight into all of your pregnancy options. Ultimately, the decision is yours to make, and we’re here to help you make an informed decision.
You Feel Uneasy or Uncomfortable
Do you feel a loss of control? Do you feel intimidated or unsettled while sharing about your pregnancy with your partner, family, or friends?
Those close to you during this time should create a safe space and not pressure you in any way. If you are feeling uncomfortable or uneasy, don’t be afraid to create healthy boundaries and distance.
Your Opinion Isn’t Considered
If you have already expressed your concerns or questions about abortion and you feel dismissed, this is another clear sign of pressure into abortion. Feeling silenced, unseen, and unheard is never okay. If needed, express how you feel pressured and remove yourself from the conversation.
Do You Feel Unsafe?
While some signs of pressure into an abortion decision may be vague, others are not. Don’t hesitate to get help if you feel in danger at all.
If you sense that your safety is at risk, call the National Domestic Abuse Hotline immediately. A representative can help you with the resources you need to find safety.
