Setting clear boundaries and asserting control over your situation is crucial when you have an unexpected pregnancy. No one, not even your boyfriend, has the right to pressure you into choosing a specific option.
It is illegal to force someone to have an abortion. You deserve compassion and respect at all times, including when you’re pregnant. If you’re unsure how to navigate this challenging time, Informed Choices Women’s Center is here for you with no-cost help.
Talking to Your Boyfriend About This Pregnancy
Identifying why your boyfriend wants you to choose an abortion can give insight into his thought process. Perhaps he fears becoming a father or is angry about the situation.
When you share the news, give him time to process these feelings. You can talk to him about his concerns when you’re both ready. It may be that he needs more information on parenting or adoption.
If your boyfriend is abusive, please understand that you deserve to be treated with love and kindness. Abuse of any kind is always unacceptable. Contact the National Domestic Violence Hotline for 24/7 support, or call 911 if you feel you are in danger.
If your boyfriend isn’t abusive, it may help to receive options information together. Your first appointment at Informed Choices Women’s Center is always with a registered nurse who confirms a potential pregnancy with pregnancy testing.
If your pregnancy test is positive, we can assess your eligibility for an ultrasound and talk about your pregnancy options. You’ll receive accurate information in a compassionate, confidential environment.
