Deciding if Abortion is Right for You
Before you decide to have an abortion, you should ask yourself these questions:
How do I feel about being pregnant?
How do I feel about being a parent?
When do I believe life begins?
What does my religion say about abortion?
How do I feel about abortion?
What type of procedure would be done? Do I know the physical risks?
What agencies offer abortion services?
How much does an abortion cost? How will I pay for it?
How might this decision affect me in 5 years? 10 years?
Who can I talk to about my decision?
How does my partner answer these questions?

Deciding If Sex Is Right For You
Before you decide to have sex, you should ask yourself these questions:
Am I married? (If the answer is "No," stop here. Sex is not right for you.)
How do I feel about getting knocked up?
Am I even remotely ready for the enormous emotional, physical and financial responsibilities of being a parent?
What does God's word, the Bible, say about having sex?
Why do I have so little respect for myself that I'm willing to have sex with someone who hasn't made a lifetime commitment to me?
How might this decision affect me in 5 years? 10 years?
