When facing an unexpected pregnancy, it’s natural to want to keep it hidden—especially if you’re worried about what others might think or say. For some, abortion feels like a way to make the pregnancy “disappear.” But abortion is not a minor or straightforward choice; it comes with physical risks and emotional impacts that you deserve to understand fully before deciding.

At Women’s Resource Center, you’ll find a safe place to talk through your situation without pressure. Our team offers no-cost, confidential support, enabling you to explore all options.

Is Abortion An Option?

Deciding out of fear, shame, or pressure from others often leads to regret later. If you feel like abortion is the only option because you don’t want anyone to know about your pregnancy, take a step back. You deserve the chance to process your situation in a supportive environment and consider what’s truly best for you.

Choosing abortion in an attempt to hide your pregnancy may keep you from getting the medical care you need during and after the process.

Abortion in Mississippi

Abortion is illegal in Mississippi, so choosing an abortion would mean traveling out of state.

Some women think ordering the abortion pill online is an easy option, but the abortion pill has its own set of risks and complications. It causes abdominal cramping, heavy bleeding, nausea, and other side effects. In some cases, more dangerous outcomes like severe bleeding or infection may occur. 

Ordering abortion drugs online, without the oversight of a medical professional, can also pose serious risks to your health.

Why Support Matters

Trying to go through an unexpected pregnancy alone can leave you feeling isolated and out of options. Having a caring support system makes a difference—whether you’re considering abortion, adoption, or parenting. 

Talking with someone you trust in a non-judgmental space allows you to sort through your feelings and gather accurate information.

Women’s Resource Center provides pregnancy testing, ultrasounds, and options consultations at no cost to you so you can learn more about abortion, adoption, and parenting. You don’t need to hide; you just need a caring support system.

You don’t have to face this on your own. Schedule a confidential appointment today and take the first step toward clarity and support.
