You may be feeling pressure to make a quick decision and seek an abortion... to just go and get it over with.  Please take a moment to think through what you know about abortion and what is unknown to you about abortion.  Good decisions are made after careful examination of the true facts. Here are some questions to ask yourself before consenting to a pregnancy termination.

• What do I know about abortion procedures, and how might an abortion now impact my health and well being in the future?  Visit http://optionline.org/abortion.html.
• What risks for physical, emotional and psychological complications are involved in having an abortion?  To read personal accounts from women who have had abortions go to: www.ramahinternational.org; www.postabortionpain.com; www.afterabortion.org; or www.lifecommercials.com.
• What do I know about my pregnancy? For information on fetal development go to: www.optionline.org/pregnant.html.
• Will an abortion really solve my problem, or could it lead to more problems? Go to: www.thinkaboutitonline.com/choice.
• Could my situation actually improve by continuing my pregnancy and parenting or making an adoption plan?  For personal stories go to: www.standupgirl.com.
• Do you need a place to stay so that you can get away and sort out your options.  Lois' Lodge is available to provide you with housing and support.

It is your right to make an informed decision; to know the truth before making a decision that impacts the rest of your life.  To speak to a counselor or to locate a pregnancy center contact the Option Line at (toll-free) 1-800-395-HELP or visit their website at www.optionline.org. The Option Line is staffed by caring, trained consultants 24/7.
