We refer you for a free ultrasound to verify your pregnancy

Understand you can change your mind - even at the last minute

Many women who have experienced abortion relay that they felt they had to go through with the procedure once they had entered the facility. Others say that they waited on the abortion table to be "rescued" by their boyfriend at the last minute. Some facilities even told the women that they couldn't get their money back if they changed their mind.

Abortion providers know that this is an agonizing decision and sometimes see women change their mind at the last minute because, as they say, "I simply can't do this!" Know your rights. Don't be pressured or intimidated.

Understand that it's not a "blob of tissue"

Some abortion facilities tell women that their babies are not human at all but simply a "blob of tissue" or a "dot". For many it is easier to have an abortion if they believe their child isn't yet human. Ultrasound photos show that at early stages of pregnancy the humanness of the embryo is clearly evident. When some women see these photos after their abortion they are overwhelmed and grieved that the information the abortion facility provides was misleading. An ultrasound will reveal the true development of your child. Learn more about what a preborn child looks like-
