Abortion information, advice and help
Abortion is never an easy option, but it’s a choice that an estimated one in three women will make in their lifetime. Along with the burden of their decision, most women also face a lack of information.
This book aims to help women of all ages, in any circumstances, make an informed decision about abortion. In a non-judgmental and unbiased way, it explores and demystifies abortion, setting aside politics to focus on the experiences of real women and the facts.
Women thinking of having an abortion can read everything they need to know about their rights, the treatment options available and how they may feel during the abortion process. They’ll also find practical tips and advice on making a good recovery.
If you’re supporting a partner, daughter or friend through an abortion, you’ll find essential information on abortion here, along with sound strategies for helping her during this challenging time.
This impartial book can help you through an abortion with advice and help making sure you get through the experience confidently, healthily and with your best interests in mind.
