An unexpected pregnancy can seem impossible when you are struggling financially. Whether you’re worried about making ends meet or loved ones are pressuring you to choose abortion, you might feel you have limited options.
In West Virginia, abortion is illegal in most cases. If you decide on abortion, you’ll most likely need to travel for an out-of-state procedure. We’ll discuss these implications and your additional options below.
Costs of Abortion
If you have a private insurance plan, it may or may not cover abortion costs. This means you may need to pay out-of-pocket fees for abortion procedures. An out-of-state abortion procedure also creates additional costs, including travel, lodging, childcare coverage, and time taken off from work.
Before choosing abortion, it’s vital to research this option and receive the health information you need.
Women’s Care Center Parkersburg provides complimentary abortion information consultation and medical services, which include lab-quality pregnancy testing and STI testing, limited obstetrical ultrasounds, and options information.
Regardless of your pregnancy decision, you need an ultrasound to protect your health and learn key details like viability, gestational age, and location. And an options information session ensures you understand the pros and cons of each.
Your Other Options
Abortion is the only option that terminates a pregnancy. Parenting and adoption include carrying your pregnancy to term and either raising the child or placing them in a family.
Both come with unique challenges.
Parenting is a big responsibility, and financial stability is indeed key. But you may be more equipped than you think. Social services like WIC can ensure you receive the material needs for your family, and Women’s Care Center Parkersburg can connect you to community resources to help with rent assistance, food, medical needs, and more.
Adoption involves placing your child in a loving home. You can choose the adoptive parents and level of contact that suits you best. You won’t pay for any adoption services if you choose this option. You may receive financial and material assistance throughout your pregnancy and beyond.
It’s critical to think about your pregnancy options carefully. While you don’t want to wait too long to decide, it’s important to consider the long-term implications of abortion, parenting, and adoption before selecting one.
