Abortion Myths

Myth: Thousands of women died every year from illegal abortion before Roe V. Wade legalized abortions.

Fact: According to the Center for Disease Control, the exact number is 27 from legal abortions in all states where the procedure was already legal in 1972 before Roe, and 39 other known illegal abortions.

Myth: Legalized abortion has been good for women.

Fact: Abortion fosters an attitude and a culture of sexual irresponsibility by promising no consequences. However it is true that medical and emotional problems for women continues to abound. It has not and will not reduced illegitimacy child abuse, or ever reduced poverty.  

Feeling overwhelmed?

Very often, the idea of a pregnancy brings with it many overwhelming thoughts and feelings. Below are some of the most common questions and concerns voiced by women facing and unplanned pregnancy.

Feeling: This isn't a good time for me. . . . .
Response: Don't panic. Slow down. Explore all of your options we offer and will provide for you. Don't rush into a hasty decision.

Feeling: My parents will kill me. . . . .
Response: Yes, your parents might initially be upset and disappointed but, they love you and most will want to be there for you. Don't let what others think dictate your actions or response. Decided what is best for you and your baby.

Feeling: Is it really a baby yet?
Response: A baby's heart starts beating on the 8th day after conception. This is way before most women even know they are pregnant. By the 8th week a baby is fully developed and now only needs time to grow larger and come to birth.

Feeling: My boyfriend will leave me and won't support me....
Response: Your boyfriend is just as responsible for the pregnancy as you are. If he is going to leave you just because you want to give your unborn child a chance at life, then it is questionable whether he loved you at all. Either way he is still legally responsible and required to pay child support after the baby is born.

Feeling: My boyfriend or my parents want me to have an abortion.
Response: No one can legally force you to have an abortion, but the pressure from a boyfriend or the families can be overwhelming. Don't let anyone force you to have an abortion. You are the one who must live with your decision, and your memories for the rest of your life.

Feeling: I can't afford a baby. . . . .
Response: There is a way. There are many government programs and agencies that can help support you through your pregnancy. We at CPO are also available with many physical and emotional support systems to bring aid and comfort for you both. We want to help you!
