Finding out that you are unexpectedly pregnant can already feel overwhelming. Learning that your partner wants you to have an abortion on top of that can leave you feeling uncertain about what to do next.
It’s important to remember that even if your partner has strong opinions and feelings about what you should do with your pregnancy, this is still your decision.
Hands of Hope PRC is here for you throughout this process. We can provide you with free self-administered medical-grade pregnancy tests and limited ultrasounds to confirm your pregnancy and give you a clearer understanding of your options.

Confirm Your Pregnancy
Before making any pregnancy decision, it is important to confirm your pregnancy with a pregnancy test and a limited ultrasound.
Details such as the location of the pregnancy, how far along the pregnancy is, and whether the pregnancy appears to be developing can affect your available options and help protect your health.
For example, an ultrasound may help identify an ectopic pregnancy. This is when the pregnancy implants outside of the uterus and requires immediate medical attention.
This Is Your Decision
Pressure from your partner can make it difficult to think clearly about what you truly want. You may need to create some boundaries so you can have time and space to reflect. Let your partner know you need support and understanding rather than pressure.
Sometimes, pressure comes from fear or uncertainty. Your partner may be worried about finances, your future, or how your lives could change. While those concerns may be real, they should never take away your right to make your own pregnancy decision.
You Are Not Alone
Remember that support is available, even if you can’t get it from your partner right now. Hands of Hope PRC is here for you. Whether you simply need someone to talk to or want accurate information about your options, our door is open.
Your options include parenting, adoption, and abortion. Each option comes with considerations to be aware of. If you aren’t sure about abortion, it may be worth looking into parenting and adoption.
We offer free parenting education through a video-based curriculum and support women and their partners, if they choose to participate, as they prepare for parenthood.
We can also tell you about how adoption works and the type of adoption plans available. Lastly, we will discuss abortion, including the different types and risks involved.
If You Feel Unsafe
Pressure can quickly become threats, intimidation, and fear. If you ever begin to feel unsafe, seek help from someone you trust or contact the National Domestic Violence Hotline.
Your safety comes first, and you deserve the time and space to think through your pregnancy decision.
