Sharing Your Heart: How to Talk with Your Family When Considering Abortion

We know sharing the news of an unexpected pregnancy can be tough, and sharing your heart about your considerations of abortion can be too.

If you have a good relationship with your parents and family, you may care about their input about abortion. At the end of the day, the final decision is yours to make and will impact your future the most.

Be Open & Honest

We know that family emotions can be extra high, especially if you are close with your parents or siblings. If you feel comfortable, share your heart with your family and why you’re considering abortion.

Be as open and honest as possible. They may have questions and input that you may not have considered.

Timing & Setting Matter

When sharing about potential pregnancy decisions, timing and setting matter. We all respond better when we are not rushed and are in a private setting.

Choose a time when your family is together (if that makes sense) and off work to discuss your pregnancy situation. Choose a private setting like your parents’ house or another family member’s house so everyone feels comfortable responding without outside distractions.
