In the meantime, keep reading to learn what to consider when your friends are pressuring you to choose abortion.
Your Choice Belongs to You
Friends often speak from their own experiences or fears. They may believe abortion is a quick solution, or they may worry about how this pregnancy will change your life. While their intentions might be caring, the reality is that you—not your friends—will live with the outcome.
It’s okay to slow down and reflect. Give yourself time to ask: What do I want for my future? What matters most to me right now? Taking time to pause and think is a sign of strength, not weakness.
Setting Boundaries
If conversations begin to feel one-sided, it’s healthy to set limits. You might say, “I know you care about me, but I need time to make my own decision.” Sharing your need for space doesn’t mean shutting people out. Instead, it’s about protecting your well-being and ensuring that your decision comes from your desires, not others’.
If the pressure feels heavy, you can also step back from group texts or social events for a while. This distance can help you breathe and regain focus on what you need.
