If you have decided, after reading all the information and exploring all your alternatives, to choose abortion, it is very important that you feel in control of this process.

​

Some questions to ask yourself:

• Is this MY decision or am I feeling pressured in any way by any other person or circumstances?

• Have I considered other choices I can make including adoption or raising my child?

• Have I considered how I will feel about this decision in the future ... in 1 month, 9 months, years from now?

• How will I feel if I am unable to fall pregnant in the future?

​

Some questions to ask your abortion provider before making your appointment:

​

• What are the qualifications of the doctor who will be performing my abortion?

• Does the doctor have admitting rights to my local hospital in case of complications?

• Do you provide independent counselling so I can discuss my options?

• Does this counselling cost money? If so how much?

• Do I have to pay any money up front before my counselling? If so, how much?

• Can I change my mind at any time and get a full refund of any money paid?

• Will you provide an ultrasound if I choose?

• Will I be allowed to view this ultrasound if I choose?

• Will you give me written information about post abortion counselling and any possible physical or emotional after effects?

​

If you are uncomfortable with any of their answers, you do not have to make an appointment. You do not have to make a rushed decision.
