Abortion is a major life event. You should never feel pressured into having an abortion out of fear or coercion. If your partner wants you to get an abortion but you are not sure, this article is for you. 

You Have Rights

Knowing your rights is critical when facing an unplanned pregnancy. As the one carrying the pregnancy, all decisions on how to move forward with this pregnancy are ultimately up to you. 

Forced abortion is illegal in all 50 states. If your partner or a family member is pushing you to have an abortion against your will, they could be liable for fetal homicide. 

You Have Options 

Abortion is often viewed as the most convenient solution to an unwanted pregnancy, but if you do not wish to have an abortion, you do have other options. 

Adoption

Adoption is one alternative that can give women and their partners a similar result to abortion. In choosing adoption, women are free to resume their life and goals as they were before the pregnancy. 

When choosing adoption, women will partner with an adoption agency and then select a family that will love and raise their child. 

Parenting

You may have never thought seriously about parenting, but it is another alternative to abortion. Parenting does require a lot of sacrifice.  Your time, your sleep and sometimes your plans, will be put on the back burner. 

But parenting can be one of the most rewarding things you ever accomplish during your life. 

Classes on child raising and birth are available to give women the confidence to know they can be a successful parent. 

Support Is Available

The choice is up to you when deciding how to handle an unplanned pregnancy. At You Medical, women can explore their options and find referrals for adoption agencies, medical costs, housing and more.
