Feeling Pressured Into an Abortion?

by David Reardon, Ph.D.

This is especially true if others are pressuring them into abortion by threatening to withhold love or approval unless they "do the best thing for everyone" and abort.

The lack of emotional support to keep a pregnancy can also influence a woman's decision to choose abortion.

Pressure from adverse circumstances, such as financial problems, being unmarried, social problems or health problems also make a woman feel as if abortion as her "only choice."

Reluctance to have an abortion can put a woman at risk. The source of her doubts may result from either conflicting moral views about the abortion or from a conflicting desire to keep the baby.

David Reardon, Ph.D., has been involved in post-abortion research since 1983.
