If She’s Pregnant, You’re a Dad
You’ve probably been told you’re only there to support her, but this is your baby too. You can say something. You can speak up for your child.
She might be afraid you’ll leave. She wants to hear that you love her, that you’ll be there for her and the baby. She wants to discuss this with you, to make a decision with you. Too many babies are lost because the father never said anything.
You can help her today.
You can save your child.
AFTER ABORTION, IT ISN’T JUST “OVER”
It can seem like a solution, but many women suffer after-abortion trauma. The truth is, pregnant women are mothers. Supporting her means doing your best to save her from the pain that will come later if she has an abortion.
A “Choice” She Won’t Forget
BODY
Her uterus could rupture. She could have a heart attack, get a serious infection, or even die.(4)(5)
FUTURE
She has a 60% higher chance of having a future miscarriage(6) and a 44% higher risk of getting breast cancer.(7),(8)
MIND
Suicide rates are six times higher. Depression is 65% more likely.(2) Eating disorders, and drug and alcohol abuse, often come from the pain and guilt.(3)
