What should I do if someone is forcing me to have an abortion?

Whether or not to continue a pregnancy or opt for an abortion is a decision only the pregnant woman should make. You should not let anyone give you abortion medicines against your will, or to pressure you to do anything to end your pregnancy without your agreement.
 
If you are in immediate danger, you should call the police on 112.
 
If you want legal advice call the Women's Rights Foundation Legal Helpline on 80062149.
