Abortion

Termination of a pregnancy can often be a difficult decision to make and we aim to support individuals/couples and provide information that will help them to make an informed choice. If requested, information can be provided concerning the abortion procedures involved but this will be handled sensitively and with compassion. Some women feel pushed into having an abortion, or rush to ‘get it over with’ and as a result can sometime regret their decision because they had not had time to think it through. It is women in these circumstances who may be more likely to experience emotional/psychological difficulties in the weeks, months or even years ahead. A woman may feel surrounded by people all telling her what she should or should not do but we aim to encourage her to take time to reflect and discover what it is she really wants to do so that her decision is one that is right for her. To read information on abortion see the CAREconfidential website.
