OPTIONS COUNSELING
I'm Pregnant. What Are My Options?
You have three options - but only one choice.
Before you choose, Care Net Pregnancy Center of Central Texas is here to empower you with accurate information on each option so you are equipped to make an informed choice.
Abortion
In Texas, all forms of abortion are illegal except to preserve the life of the mother. This does not affect care for ectopic pregnancies or miscarriages. A woman who obtains an abortion cannot be held criminally or civilly liable under Texas law.1, 2
When considering your options, it's important to be informed and take the proper precautions, including:
- Confirmation of pregnancy with a medical-grade test.
- Identification of the age and location of the fetus with an ultrasound.
- Knowing all the facts surrounding abortion.
- Having confidence the decision is made without coercion.
- Being prepared for the recovery process.
Care Net of Central Texas is a trusted source for women to get honest answers about the abortive process and the risks involved.
