The main purpose of these forums is to give pregnant women feeling alone and that abortion is their only option, somewhere they can talk about their situation and get support in pregnancy. (Please note: if you are able to, the best environment for you to share your problems in pregnancy is in private and in person with a counsellor).

These forums are also to offer support and advice to health workers who deal with abortion in their workplace and to enable others who have been affected by abortion to talk about their experiences.

The focus of these forums is to promote support, care and healing, not arguments on abortion. Arguments don't help people trying to deal with their problems, who are already in very difficult and stressful situations.

We ask you only engage in these forums if you :

1. Agree not to use your real name as username when registering in order to protect your privacy;
2. Respect that the purpose of these forums is to support women in pregnancy, not encourage abortions;
3. Respect that pregnant women or relatives who engage here may be in crisis, dealing with very distressing and difficult circumstances;
4. Respect that the 'political stance' of these forums is 'pro-life' which means we do not support abortion, yet understand women may make this choice and we seek to be there for them regardless of their choice;
5. Agree to treat all other forum members with respect, courtesy and care;
6. Understand that women, relatives or health workers may engage here who regret their abortion or involvement and need kindness, understanding and support to heal or cease involvement in abortions;
7. Do not post abusive, threatening or judgemental comments;
8. Agree not to post graphic images (particularly of aborted babies) or articles or use the forums as a means to advertise or re-publish literature, promotional or otherwise;
9. Are not under the age of 13 years old;
10. Agree with this website's Terms and Conditions of Use (found under 'Site Use' footer menu).

If you do not agree with the rules of these forums, please do not use them.

All messages on these forums are moderated and inappropriate comments which contravene these rules will be deleted. If a user continually disobeys the rules of these forums that person may be banned, at the discretion of the moderator(s).

Talking to others when you have a problem can help a lot.

This is the place to meet other health workers who experience abortion at work, to get advice and gain support.
