Are You Being Pressurized
If someone is pressuring, threatening, or trying to control your pregnancy decision, you’re not alone — and you are not required to go along with it.
Pressure can be direct, such as:
- Someone ordering abortion pills for you
- Arranging travel to an abortion facility without your consent
- Withholding financial support
- Threatening physical harm
- Implying harm toward another child
- Suggesting your job could be at risk if you continue the pregnancy
Pressure can come from a partner, parent, employer, or school — or from circumstances that feel overwhelming or impossible to manage.
It may also be subtle:
- Being rushed
- Given ultimatums
- Made to feel there is only one acceptable option
No one else gets to make this decision for you.
This decision is yours.
You are the one who chooses what happens next.
We provide a safe, confidential place to talk things through, understand your options, and consider next steps — without pressure or judgment.
This is your pregnancy — and your decision.
