Making a Good Decision

The Abortion Care Network believes it's important for you to make the best decision for your life situation and recommends options counseling with its members.

A pregnancy decision brings up many thoughts and feelings, about your future, your family and children, your relationship, your education and career, as well as morality, spirituality, and sexuality. It's important to remember that you are trying to do the best you can for all concerned, including a potential child. If deciding to have an abortion, a child, or make an adoption plan is difficult for you, get the help you deserve to make a good decision. You Are a Good Woman.

One important resource is The Pregnancy Options Workbooks, available online as well as at many clinics. These workbooks offer you detailed information about all your options, decision-making exercises, and information to address any concerns you may have about what might harm a pregnancy, fetal development, future fertility, and religious or spiritual issues.

You may also want to talk to a counselor both to get accurate information and to clarify your feelings. Most clinics provide options counseling as do most family planning agencies. See our directory of abortion providers or you may find the talkline Backline at 1.888.493.0092 to be helpful.
