What do I need to know before getting an abortion?
❏ I am 100% sure I am pregnant.
❏ I have had an ultrasound to confirm my pregnancy and ensure that it is progressing normally.
❏ I have carefully researched all abortion procedures.
❏ I know how far along I am and which types of procedures are available to me.
❏ I have carefully researched all the potential physical complications that could arise due to an abortion.
❏ The abortion clinic has shown me, in writing, that they will care for me if I experience any side effects or complications.
❏ The abortion doctor has hospital privileges at a local hospital and I have been given documentation to prove this.
❏ I have carefully researched the abortion clinic and I am sure that they have not had any lawsuits filed against them.
❏ I have carefully researched the abortion clinic and I am absolutely sure that no women have been hospitalized, injured, or suffered serious complications due to an abortion performed at this clinic.
❏ I have been tested for STDs. AND, if my test results were positive, I have been treated and re-tested.
❏ I have carefully researched fetal development.
Abortion is a very sensitive issue or topic. It is never easy to make that decision to get one and worse, it can also have a psychological effect on the individual. If I ever find a friend or family member who may be planning to have one, I will definitely advise the person to consult a professional. Thanks.
