Feeling forced to abort?

If you feel pressure to abort, stay strong. Use the gift of agency wisely. Never in the world’s history have God’s children been so blessed or so blatantly confronted with so many choices.

Being coerced into an abortion is against the law and you are legally protected.

Examples:

“If you don’t have an abortion, I’ll leave you.”

”I won’t pay for your tuition if you have this baby.”

“I’ll disown you.”

“I already made the appointment; you have no choice.”

“I’ll kick you out of the house.”

Remember that whatever you decide for you and your child, some people will agree with your decisions and others will not. Everyone’s situation is different, so the answer for one person may not work for you. No one will have given as much time, effort, and thought to the unique circumstances of your situation as you and the Lord. Trust in the divine counsel you receive from Heavenly Father as you make your decision.

“Agency is the power to think, choose, and act for ourselves. It comes with endless opportunities, accompanied by responsibility and consequences.” - Sharon G. Larsen, “Agency: A Blessing and a Burden.” October 1999
