If you’re asking yourself the question, “Is abortion the only way to save my marriage?” you’re probably coping with some very complex circumstances. Maybe your spouse doesn’t want kids, and you’re afraid he’d walk away from the relationship if you had a child together. Or, perhaps you’re considering abortion to avoid a separation or divorce, because the pregnancy isn’t his. Maybe your spouse already knows about the positive result and has threatened to leave unless you take steps to end the pregnancy. Whatever your situation is, chances are, you’re feeling really scared and overwhelmed. You’ll need support to overcome your challenges and discover a positive outcome. That’s okay. Accepting help is one of the bravest steps you can take. And genuine support is available.

Keeping an Open Mind Regarding Your Pregnancy Outcome
Thinking broadly about your pregnancy options and resources can help you make a more confident decision. This may not seem possible in a high-pressure situation when the future of your marriage feels endangered. But with the right kind of support, reliable information, and a little time for calm self-reflection, it’s completely possible. You have the tools that you need (both within and outside of yourself) to make the best possible choice for you, in spite of the challenges. Before deciding on a pregnancy option, explore all possibilities: abortion, adoption, and parenting. There’s value in this, even if you’re already feeling decided. You may learn something new that reaffirms the path you’re already pursuing or that otherwise ends up making a difference.
At Avenue, we’re passionate about providing accurate information about all 3 pregnancy options with empathy and neutrality, never judgment. We believe people make the best decisions about their health when they know all their options. We’re here to provide facts about the processes and risks involved with each of your options through a free pregnancy consultation. The choice between abortion, adoption, or parenting is yours, but learning more can help. By taking this step, you can feel more confident in your decision, knowing you considered all your options.
Our pregnancy consultants and nurses at Avenue believe in helping women make pregnancy decisions from positions of strength, with the healthiest mindsets possible. We encourage the individuals we meet to process their emotions, learn about their options and resources, and build strong foundations of support. Taking those steps can allow a person to feel less limited by her circumstances and free to embrace whichever outcome feels like the best fit.
