An unexpected pregnancy can be challenging enough on its own, but when your friends begin pressuring you to choose abortion, it can add even more stress and confusion. 

If you’re in this situation, take a deep breath—you’re not alone and have the right to make your own decision. Choices of the Heart will help you navigate this time with no-cost, confidential support. 

It’s Your Decision

It’s natural for your friends to react out of concern, fear, or a desire to “fix” things. However, even if their intentions are good, it doesn’t mean they know what’s best for you. You are the one whose future will be affected most by your choices, so your opinions are the priority.

It’s okay to pause and process what you want. Choices of the Heart offers a safe, judgment-free space to discuss your thoughts and emotions.

Setting Boundaries is Crucial

If you feel overwhelmed by others’ opinions, try setting some personal boundaries. Start with a calm, honest conversation. Something as simple as, “I’m feeling overwhelmed right now. I know you care about me, but I need some time to figure this out,” can go a long way.

It’s also okay to take a step back from conversations that make you feel uneasy. Whether it’s a friend who keeps pushing abortion or someone who’s simply too opinionated, distance can help you think more clearly and confidently about your next step.

Explore Your Options in a Safe Environment

When you’re facing pressure or judgment, you might not have had the chance to consider all your choices—parenting, adoption, and abortion. That’s why receiving accurate information in a calm, non-judgmental setting is so important.

At Choices of the Heart, you can talk openly with a caring advocate about your pregnancy, ask questions, and explore all your options. We’re not here to push you in any direction—we’re here to support you in making the best choice for your life and circumstances.

We’re Here When You’re Ready

You deserve to feel supported and empowered, no matter what you’re going through. Reach out to Choices of the Heart to schedule a no-cost, confidential appointment.
