Abortion

Abortion is a difficult decision often made when a woman feels she has no other viable options.

It is a legal option in Canada and compared to other medical procedures, is considered relatively safe by doctors. Like all medical procedures, abortion involves certain risks that you need to be aware of as you consider this option.

There are different abortion procedures available, depending on how far along you are in your pregnancy and each procedure has different considerations.

I don’t know how I will feel?

If you are considering abortion you’re probably faced with circumstances that make the thought of parenting difficult to accept.

Abortion can also be quite emotionally difficult for women. Regardless of how you currently feel about your pregnancy and the thought of an abortion, it is important to consider the possible emotional or psychological effects of having an abortion.

Several factors determine the emotional reaction to an abortion, including a woman’s age, the stage of her pregnancy, prior feelings about abortion and whether or not she feels pressured into having an abortion by a significant person in her life.

Pregnancy Concerns offers a safe place for you to discuss some of the potential risks that are involved with an abortion to help you make an informed decision.
