Experiencing pressure from anyone to choose a specific option for your unplanned pregnancy is difficult. But if your parents are the ones pressuring you, things become more complicated. You may feel you must listen to them or deal with potential consequences.
No one–including your parents–can make a pregnancy decision for you. You alone decide. And it’s illegal to coerce or force someone into having an abortion.
La Luz Women’s Center stands beside you as you decide what’s best for an unplanned pregnancy. We’ll provide the pregnancy confirmation services and options information you need.
Finding Support
Your parents may pressure you to choose abortion if you’re a minor and still in school. They might feel it’s their right as your parents to make the decision. There’s also an added element of concern for your future.
Even if they have good intentions, you must consider your needs. Your parents can’t force you to have an abortion, and you deserve to know all your options. Give them time to process the news of your unplanned pregnancy, but know that resources are available.
La Luz Women’s Center provides no-cost services, including medical-grade pregnancy testing and limited ultrasounds. An ultrasound will confirm key pregnancy details and help you better understand your options.
Loved ones, including your parents, may feel abortion is best because it appears “convenient” or “easy.” But you deserve to know this option’s risks and side effects while exploring others.
We offer pregnancy options education so you can make an informed decision. If you’re still in school and select an option like parenting, we’ll inform you of your rights protected by Title IX and available resources. There are people in your corner.
