IF YOU ARE POSTING TO ASK IF YOU SHOULD USE EMERGENCY CONTRACEPTION:

Please do not wait on us if you may need or want EC (like the morning-after pill). Because it is most effective the sooner it is taken or administered, we suggest that you go ahead and get it, and if you want to talk to someone about whether or not you choose to use it, we can do that with you after. That way, you have it ASAP if you do decide you want or need to use it. <3

Making a Choice

Unread post by Ashleah »

Whether a pregnancy is planned or not, it can be hard to remember that there are choices after a pregnancy has occurred. For some, deciding between parenting, adoption, and abortion is an easy decision while for others it might be more of a struggle.

This is a space for people who have or who are experiencing a pregnancy to share how they decided which option they chose for their pregnancy.

Please share as much or as little as you are comfortable with but you can keep in mind some of the following:

-How did you feel?
-What things did you consider to help you make a decision?
-Are there things you wish you would have considered?
-Did you have support or were you discouraged from making a certain choice? What role did that play?

Just a reminder, Scarleteen is pro-choice which means we support the right of each and every person to make decisions that are right for them. This is not a space to judge the choices that others have made but it is a space for those who have had to make this decision to share their feelings about it openly and freely.
