Adoption today looks nothing like it did twenty or thirty years ago when a woman had little control over where her baby would be placed. Today, you have options. Many women who chose adoption will tell you it’s a flexible and rewarding option because you can select your own, personalized adoption plan. Choosing adoption also doesn’t mean that you will never see your child again. For example, an open adoption option allows for regular contact after the adoption. Want to know more about adoption? Our staff has answers and can help you navigate the adoption process. At Women’s Centers of Ohio, we believe education is empowering, and we’re here to help.
We educate women and men about abortion procedures. We do not offer or provide abortions. You may be considering abortion for several reasons. Maybe it’s because of financial instability; maybe it’s because of a difficult relationship; maybe it’s because you feel all alone; or maybe it’s because you feel you’re just not ready to be a parent. If you’re considering abortion, it’s important to know the facts. At Women’s Centers of Ohio, we’ll provide you with information on the different types of abortion procedures. After all, knowing is power.
The morning-after pill is a high-dosage hormonal birth control pill that women take up to 72 hours after intercourse. Dependent upon where you are in your cycle, it’s designed to:
1) Prevent or delay ovulation (e.g. the release of an egg from your ovaries)
2) Interfere with the fertilization of an egg
3) Prevent implantation of a fertilized egg in the uterus by altering the uterine lining
Morning-after pills should not be used as regular birth control as their safety has not been tested. They are not approved by the FDA or recommended by the manufacturer for routine use.
