10 Abortion Myths That You Definitely Shouldn't Believe
If you're thinking of having sex or if you've already started, odds are you've thought about pregnancy. Whether you're on the birth control pill, or you're using condoms, or you have an IUD, you spend a considerable amount of time trying to ensure that you stay pregnancy-free. But, sometimes, things happen. Condoms break and the pill isn't as effective unless you're taking it properly, resulting in an accidental pregnancy. At that point, you have options about what next steps are right for you. After all is said and done, your body is YOURS and yours alone.
One option is abortion (or a procedure that terminates a pregnancy). According to Planned Parenthood, a nonprofit organization that provides sexual health care, abortion is common - 3 in 10 women in the U.S. will have an abortion by the time they’re 45 years old. But there are so many myths and stories around abortion that it can be hard to know what's real and what's not so that you can make the best decision for your future. So we asked Sarah Roberts, former abortion counselor and sexual health educator, to dispel common abortion myths. Watch the video above to learn more.
