Sadly, you aren’t alone if you’re feeling pressured into having an abortion. A study from 2023 found that 24% of women who chose abortion felt some form of pressure or coercion.
Another 43% accepted the choice even though it went against their preference. Altogether, 67% described their abortions as inconsistent with their values or preferences, unwanted, or coerced.
How you handle your pregnancy needs to be your decision, and yours alone. Your partner’s opinion is important, but no one has the right to demand you make one decision over another.
Why not learn about all of your options before choosing? Contact Crystal Women’s Clinic to schedule a free, confidential appointment. We’ll give you the confidence to choose for yourself.
You have three options: have an abortion, make an adoption plan, or choose to parent. Let’s take a quick look at all three.
How far along you are in your pregnancy usually determines the abortion procedure you qualify for. The FDA approves the use of the abortion drugs only through 10 weeks of pregnancy.
Do you know how many weeks and days you’ve been pregnant? If you’re not sure, we recommend getting an ultrasound scan.
Crystal Women’s Clinic offers free pre-abortion testing. The test includes a lab-grade pregnancy test, a limited obstetrical ultrasound, limited STI testing, and a medical consultation. You will have all the information you need to determine if you qualify for an abortion.
