Abortion & Pregnancy Risks
Not Alone
Many agencies are willing to help you carry your child to term, and to assist after your child’s birth.
Can't Be Forced
It is unlawful for anyone to make you have an abortion against your will, even if you are a minor.
Baby’s Father
The father of your child must provide support of the child, even if he has offered to pay for an abortion.
Adoption
The law allows adoptive parents to pay costs of prenatal care, childbirth and newborn care.
