Signs You Are Being Pressured into an Abortion Decision

It’s never ok for someone to pressure you into a pregnancy decision that you don’t want to make. No one should force or coerce you into having an abortion. Depending on the circumstances, coercion, threats, or force may violate federal or state law. Get the much-needed support and information you need to consider all of your pregnancy options. Pregnancy confirmation services, when applicable, are available at no cost through an independent, onsite medical office. Soundview can also help you understand your options as you consider your next steps.

You Feel Like You Have No Say

Do you feel like your partner, parent, or family member is unwilling to hear your thoughts and opinions about your pregnancy? Are those around you trying to make your pregnancy decision for you?  Have you been refused support or housing if you don’t choose abortion? These are all forms of pressure and manipulation.

No matter your age or situation, no one should pressure or force you into a pregnancy decision. You deserve support as you consider what is right for you.

You Feel Unsafe

In extreme cases, you may even feel like your safety is threatened by a partner or family member. If this is the case, seek help immediately.

We’re Here for You

At Soundview, we care about you and will not pressure you into an abortion decision or any decision you don’t want to make. You will be seen and heard.

Be Informed of Your Options

Abortion is not your only option to consider. It is important to know the facts about all of your options as you navigate an unexpected pregnancy. We can inform you about all three of your options: abortion, adoption, and parenting.

Talk in a Safe Space

You deserve to feel supported, not pressured to make a decision for your pregnancy. Our compassionate team is here to help you get the information you need about all of your pregnancy options so that you can make an informed decision. Pregnancy testing and, if eligible, an ultrasound can provide important information about your pregnancy. Medical services, when applicable, are available at no cost through an independent, onsite medical office.
