Sometimes abortion seems like the answer that will end all
of the problems, but this is one of the biggest decisions
you will ever make. It is not a decision that should be made
hastily, or without accurate information of all that is
involved. For your own health and safety, it is strongly
encouraged that you make every effort to be completely and
accurately informed. If you are not sure about any of the
above questions, a trained individual from LifeChoices can
provide you with information that will help. Call them at
