Abortion and Making a Decisions Based on Your Values

If you’re trying to decide whether to continue your pregnancy or have an abortion, you might want to come to Zoe’s Place Newcastle for unbiased support and information. No one can choose which decision best fits in alignment with your own values better than YOU. Unfortunately, many women make their decision based on outside pressures like family, partners, friends, financial status rather than their actual value system and what “feels right.”

It’s not as simple as making a list of “pro’s” and “con’s” like you might do when purchasing your first home or deciding whether or not to take a particular job offer. Your situation is more than likely very complex and not black and white like those outside your situation might like to indicate.

If you choose to terminate, you may feel better in the short-term. However, did you know there is a risk of ongoing mental health issues for women who have an abortion?

Other abortion risk factors include severe bleeding, infection, and damage to your cervix.

At Zoe’s Place Newcastle, we recommend coming in for an appointment to discuss your unique situation so that you feel empowered and competent to make the right choice for you. Sometimes, what you might see as a “con” isn’t so bad after all once you look at it from a different light. The same can also be true on the contrary if you educate yourself more on what’s happening in your body and what the actual abortion procedure entails. What you might see as a “pro” after speaking with friends and family can actually be a “con” once you have a safe place to pause and work it all through. Please get in contact with us, so we can support you through whatever decision you make.
