Making a well-informed decision whether you should continue or pregnancy or get an abortion should solely be your own. Abortions are fairly common and people get them for various reasons. Having an unwanted or unplanned pregnancy can actually raise questions for the woman. While abortion may be a difficult decision to make, it can actually lift off the unnecessary burden from the shoulders. Some women might consider keeping the child for parenting or putting them for adoption. Talking to your close ones whom you trust and seeking help from healthcare providers can help you make a wise decision. Whatever decision you make, make sure that it isn’t forced and is completely yours.
Considering Abortion as an Option
Studies suggest that 1 in 4 women in the US will have an abortion by the time they turn 45 years old. Around half of these pregnancies aren’t planned and 4 out of 10 women decide to get an abortion. And it’s just not about unplanned pregnancies that women consider an abortion. Some may even consider it due to their health and safety reasons. If there are any complications involved or any fetal abnormalities, it could put the woman’s life at risk. This is why considering abortion as an option is safe for her. There are plenty of reasons why women may choose to end their pregnancies:
- They are not up for parenting.
- They won’t be able to give time to their other kids and just want the best for them.
- They have a history of domestic violence or are in an abusive relationship.
- Their financial conditions are poor and they won’t be able to nourish their child properly.
- They won’t be able to work properly or achieve their goals.
- The fetus won’t survive or will have to suffer after birth.
- They are a victim of sexual assault and this is not what they’re up for.
These are some of the common reasons that make up for the termination of pregnancy. Getting an abortion doesn’t mean that you don’t love the child or don’t want it. Some other studies suggest that 6 out of 10 women who get their pregnancy terminated already have kids. And keeping a pregnancy puts a heavy burden on the woman’s shoulders who may not be in a situation to keep it but has to due to her cultural beliefs. Women can often be influenced by abortion opponents who feel that abortion is a sin. But as long as you’re comfortable with your decision of ending your pregnancy, you can look forward to reaching your nearest clinic for an appointment.
