An unexpected pregnancy is a deeply personal experience, and making a decision under pressure can leave a lasting emotional impact. If you’re feeling unsure, it’s important to recognize signs of coercion and know that support is available.
At Pregnancy Choices, we’re here to help you explore your options through no-cost pregnancy testing, STD/STI testing, ultrasounds, and certified life coaching, all in a compassionate, supportive environment.
Someone is Making You Feel Guilty
If a partner, friend, or family member is telling you that having a baby will ruin your life, education, or relationships, they may be using guilt to manipulate your decision. True support encourages you to make the choice that’s right for you, not one based on shame or fear.
You Feel Rushed to Decide
If someone is pressuring you to “just get it over with” or making you feel like abortion is your only option, that’s a red flag. You deserve time to process, ask questions, and consider every possibility. No one should rush you through such a major life decision.
You’re Being Threatened or Intimidated
Any threat—whether emotional, physical, or financial—is a serious form of coercion. If someone is saying they’ll leave you, cut off support, or harm you unless you choose abortion, it’s essential to seek help. Your safety and autonomy matter.
Your Partner is Withholding Support
A supportive partner listens and stands by you, even when the situation is difficult. If your partner refuses to discuss any option other than abortion or threatens to walk away if you choose something different, that’s not support—it’s control.
You Are Being Denied Information
Real choice means having access to accurate information about all your options—abortion, adoption, and parenting. If someone refuses to talk about anything but abortion, or tells you other options “aren’t realistic,” you’re not being given the full picture.
You Feel Like You Have No Other Choice
If it feels like everyone is pointing you in one direction and you can’t see a way out, pause. Fear should never be the reason behind such a big decision. You deserve clarity, support, and real options—not pressure.
