1) If you haven't already, educate yourself about abortion, and take your time. Your decision will shape the rest of your life. Find out if abortion is just the insignificant removal of fetal tissue, or if it is, in fact, a violent assault on a living human being.
2) Read testimony from women who have aborted already. Hear their pain and learn from their experience.
3) Consider the potential dangers of visiting an abortion clinic. ClinicWorker.com is a website working to expose the unreported abuses which occur in many abortion clinics. Since women often don't want anyone to know they had an abortion, they are unlikely to report any mistreatment and are vulnerable to sexual abuse. Lime 5 is a very disturbing book which documents years of such abuse from clinics around the country.
4) Seek the help you need. There are Crisis Pregnancy Centers all over the country who exist for the sole purpose of providing you with the resources you need to carry your baby to term. To find one near you, simply enter your zip code at OptionLine.org or call 1-800-395-HELP. If you're in need of more extensive assistance, including a place to live, consider applying for application to Mercy Ministries, an international non-profit organization designed to assist and meet the needs of young women who face life-controlling problems such as drug and alcohol abuse, addictions, depression, eating disorders and unplanned pregnancy.
5) Think about adoption. If you're not in position to care and provide for your child after birth, there are many loving families who are. Adoption.com and AbortionAlternatives.com are great resources for learning more about adoption, how it works and how you can be sure your baby ends up with the right family.
Once you've made your decision, let us know. We'd love to hear your testimony and get your feedback. Your experience can play a huge role in educating and informing those who come behind you.
