“Patti” came to Options [Pregnancy Clinic] seeking confirmation of her pregnancy through a pregnancy test. She expressed disbelief at the possibility of being pregnant: “I can’t be pregnant because I don’t feel pregnant at all.” She had not experienced any significant symptoms or noticeable changes.

Women Pressured to Get Abortions Have Worse Mental Health
Julz

Getting an abortion, contrary to popular belief, is not an easy decision.

Julz

Dear Editor, I read your recent post about Hannah Neeleman, the woman who won Mrs. World and goes by “@ballerinafarm” on social media, and was disheartened by how you chose to word her piece and the caption on Instagram.
