If you’re facing an unexpected pregnancy and someone is pressuring you to have an abortion, that’s a heavy place to be. If you’re asking yourself, “But what do I want?”—you’ve already taken an important first step.
At Crossroads, we understand how complicated an unplanned pregnancy can feel. You deserve to feel heard, supported, and free to make decisions that reflect your values and future—not someone else’s fears or expectations.
Your Voice Matters
Maybe your parents say abortion is the “easiest” option. Maybe your partner is afraid of what will change in your relationship. Maybe they’re not offering support for anything else. Whatever the case, it’s okay to pause and ask yourself:
- What do I want?
- Which decision feels most in alignment with my values and beliefs?
- Am I making this decision because I feel cornered or confident?
No one—not even a partner or your parents—has the right to decide for you. You are not selfish or unreasonable for wanting to think this through for yourself.
Pressure Isn’t the Same as Support
A healthy relationship involves listening, empathy, and respect. If someone ignores your voice or gives ultimatums, it’s important to name that as pressure. It’s not support.
Here’s something to hold onto: If you feel uncertain, you don’t have to decide today. You are allowed to take a step back, learn about your options, and take the time you need.
You Have Options—and You Don’t Have to Decide Alone
At Crossroads, we’re here to help you slow down, gather the facts, and explore your options—not what someone else wants you to do. We offer:
- No-cost pregnancy testing and limited ultrasounds for qualifying women
- Confidential options consultations
- A safe space to talk, ask questions, and take a breath
Whether you’re considering abortion, adoption, or parenting, we can help you understand each path and what support is available along the way.
You Are Stronger Than You Think
It takes courage to speak up, especially when someone close to you disagrees. But your voice is worth using. You are not alone and don’t have to walk this road alone.
Let’s talk. Let’s take the pressure off. Let’s find a way forward that brings peace—not panic.
