Children by Choice believes all young people deserve access to honest information, non-judgemental support, and safe healthcare when it comes to their bodies, relationships, and reproductive health.
Young people can experience increased barriers to accessing care and can be vulnerable to pressure around their pregnancy outcomes. Children by Choice understands that making decisions about pregnancy, contraception, and relationships can feel confusing or overwhelming, especially if you’re unsure where to get clear, private, and respectful support.\
Our team can help you talk through your pregnancy options, whether that’s continuing a pregnancy, having an abortion, or exploring adoption. We can also give you information about contraception, consent, healthy relationships, and your rights to make decisions about your body.
We are a free private and confidential service, and you can speak to us even if you’re under 18. At Children by Choice, we want every young person to feel safe, respected, and empowered to make their own choices; without pressure, judgment, or fear. Your body, your choice, your future.
We can help cover the cost for people who need abortion care and can’t afford it. Call us to check your eligibility for financial support.

Attending catholic school and having the nuns show us films that were abortion propaganda also reinforced the 'anti-abortion' view.

I had a relatively new relationship I liked and thought a child not wanted by both, would jeopardise a relationship I was happy in, for one as a single parent.
When I spoke to my GP, she was amazing, was completely non-judgemental, and offered a referral and support letter for access to an abortion, if I wanted one.
When I accidentally became pregnant in my mid-20s, I was, in theory, in a much better place both financially and emotionally.
The first thing I felt was shame. Not because I thought it was wrong, but because I was worried about what my family and community would think.
As a teen growing up I even thought how having a baby would be an escape from having to grow up. At 22, I fell pregnant as I wasn't being consistent with my birth control pills. I knew immediately that I was getting an abortion.
I wish there wasn't such difference between health practitioners and I wish there was more we could do about those who make us feel lesser for choosing abortion.
