Feeling Pressured to Have an Abortion?
If someone is pressuring, threatening, or trying to control your pregnancy decision, you do not have to face it alone—and you do not have to agree to something you do not want.
Pressure can come from a partner, spouse, parent, family member, friend, employer, coach, teacher, or anyone whose opinion or support matters to you. It can also come from circumstances that feel overwhelming, confusing, or impossible to manage.
