An unexpected pregnancy can make it feel like everyone has an opinion about what you should do. Your partner, parents, or friends may all have advice, but it’s important to know where their influence ends and your legal rights begin. 

At Sav-a-Life, we offer free pregnancy resources, including ultrasounds and options consultations, so that you can get accurate information before making a decision. Contact us today.

Can Someone Force Me to Have an Abortion?

No. No one can legally force you to have an abortion. While your partner or others around you may have strong opinions, the decision is yours alone to make.

If you’re feeling pressured, it’s okay to slow down and gather more information before deciding.

Does My Partner Have to Agree?

No. While many couples choose to discuss an unexpected pregnancy together, Alabama law does not require your partner’s permission for a decision about your pregnancy.

Even if the two of you disagree, take his opinion into account and take time to understand your pregnancy before making a permanent decision, but it’s completely up to you.

What About Alabama’s Abortion Law?

Alabama prohibits most elective abortions, with very limited exceptions when the mother’s life is at risk or she faces a serious health emergency. If you’re unsure how Alabama law relates to your situation, start by learning more about your pregnancy with a free ultrasound.
