Abortion Feels Like the Most Logical Choice

The pressures of life can feel constricting. Work stresses, family problems, and, now, a positive pregnancy test can be a lot to handle at once. It might seem natural or logical to just throw one of these things out the window and be done with it. Maybe abortion feels like the most logical choice right now to lighten your load. But, is it really?

Moving forward with an abortion decision isn’t always a woman’s first choice. But it can be hard when it feels like it’s the most logical. That’s where Avenue Women’s Center steps in. With 40 years of experience walking with women through unexpected pregnancies, we’d love to encourage and empower you, too.

First Steps Before Committing

As you’re contemplating abortion, it’s important to make sure you have a few crucial pieces of information about your pregnancy. You may find it beneficial to confirm your pregnancy with a medical-grade pregnancy test. Ruling out an ectopic pregnancy or the possibility of miscarriage through an ultrasound exam is a great step to take as well. Avenue Women’s Center offers both of these private, limited services for free.

Learning About Your Options

Most big life issues or circumstances cannot be solved with a ‘quick fix.’ If a quick fix is what you’re looking for, abortion may not provide the results you desire. It’s important to learn about your pregnancy options as well as what abortion entails. You may want to consider possible complications an abortion procedure could result in.

Finding Support

Regardless of what you decide, having a trusted community of support can benefit you in so many ways! Knowing that you can rely on somebody if there’s an emergency, or knowing there’s an organization that can help with material or emotional needs, can be comforting. Even unbiased support from a professional is a great place to start. Whether you find this support from a doctor, therapist, religious leader, or somebody like a pregnancy consultant, there are people interested in walking with you!

Self-Talk and Pregnancy Decisions

As you consider your options and decision, you may find it helpful to think about what sorts of things you’re telling yourself. Are you being empowering and encouraging in your mindset and the way you think about or treat yourself? Or are you having trouble thinking positively or finding strength? Think about what you love about yourself. Or think about difficult things you’ve overcome and the ways you’ve gotten better and stronger throughout your life. This is a woman who is strong and can be courageous even in the face of difficulties and the trials of life.
