What are my rights? Jun 5, 2023, 3:17:02 PM [Hope Pregnancy Centers, Inc.](https://www.hopepc.com/hope-blog/author/hope-pregnancy-centers-inc) ![Someone is pressuring me to abort. What are my rights?](https://www.hopepc.com/hubfs/what%20are%20my%20rights%20after%20abortion.png) ### Someone is pressuring me to abort. What are my rights? Many women who had abortions felt subtle to considerable unwanted pressure to abort. You have the right to choose the outcome of your pregnancy. Not even a partner, boyfriend, spouse, or parent has the legal power to blackmail you, coerce you, or force you to have a medical or surgical abortion. If you suspect that you might be pressured to abort or are not supported by the thought of parenting or providing parents, please [connect with someone at our center](https://www.hopepc.com/book-a-consultation) who can advocate for you and share what your legal rights are. You have the legal right to decide what to do. No one should make this decision for you. No one can force you to have an abortion, not even your parents or the father of your baby. If you are feeling pressure (also called coercion) from someone to have an abortion, you have options. [Request an appointment](https://www.hopepc.com/book-a-consultation) to speak with a trained client consultant about your options and legal rights.
