Finding Reliable Information
Not all abortion information is equally complete. Some sources focus mainly on medical facts or legal considerations, while others emphasize moral or personal perspectives. It can help to notice what a source includes, and what it leaves out.
As you look for information or support, consider whether a resource or organization:
- Uses clear, current, well-sourced information
- Is open about limits or restrictions
- Makes it clear what is factual information and what is perspective or opinion
- Acknowledges that abortion can have an emotional side
- Presents information without steering you toward a particular decision
- Offers support without judgment or fear
No single part tells the whole story. Look for information that helps you consider the medical, legal, and emotional sides of abortion together.
