While talking to your parents seems like a difficult step right now, there is good reason to allow them to help you through this time. With any abortion procedure there are serious risks and side effects for all women. Infection, depression, anxiety, and even death are serious risks and effects of abortion. How would your parents know how to help you if you became sick suddenly and they didn’t even know you were pregnant, let alone had an abortion? How do you think they would feel if they knew you were carrying such a heavy secret and they couldn’t get you the help you needed in time? Would it be easier if they found out about your pregnancy from you, rather than a nurse or doctor in the Emergency Room?
