Some of life’s choices are relatively inconsequential and don’t always deserve the attention we give to them. Whip or no whip? Stuffed crust or deep dish? I don’t know about you, but sometimes I can get hung up on the smallest of details.
But other choices carry with them a lifetime of repercussions. No matter which way we go, we will have to live with the consequences for the rest of our lives. These decisions deserve our full attention and careful consideration. You may have already made your abortion appointment. You may now be rethinking a few things. This decision may require some careful thought as you explore your options, especially if you’re feeling unsure about abortion.
But I’ve already made my appointment, you think to yourself.
Plowing ahead before we’ve given thorough examination to the matter could lead to disastrous outcomes. According to Psychology Today there are 10 steps to making a sound decision:
Whether you choose to carry the pregnancy and parent, make an adoption plan, or terminate, each pathway will lead to different results that will likely impact you for the rest of your life.
If you’re unsure about abortion, what are some questions to ask yourself before making this life-altering decision? What questions could help you to establish your values and consider possible consequences?
Most of us don’t make the best choices when faced with a crisis and often find ourselves engaging in a knee jerk reaction rather than a carefully thought-through decision. Sadly, this often leads to feelings of guilt, regret, and even sometimes resentment, especially if we’ve felt pressured into doing something.
So, what happens if you’ve already reacted and made an appointment while you aren’t 100% sure about abortion? Though it may not feel this way in the moment, you do have options:
Regardless of when your appointment may be, you still have the right to cancel it. You have a right to informed consent. What does that mean? According to the Cleveland Clinic, informed consent:
Essentially, informed consent puts you in charge of your health decisions. You cannot be coerced, pressured, or forced into proceeding with an appointment that you aren’t comfortable with.
✅ Bottom line: You’re in charge of this decision. Take the time you need to make a decision you won’t regret. If you’re unsure about abortion, that is an indication to slow down and get more information first. Even after you’ve scheduled an abortion appointment, the choice is still in your hands.
