From the Paper:

"Making the decision about whether or not to have an abortion is of course the most significant part of the immediate process. However, if the decision is made to abort, then the woman needs to find a place for the procedure. It is important to find a counselor with whom she can speak about this choice, even if having a support system. She has to talk through her thoughts and feelings as well as find out what is involved medically. This will help relieve the stress involved."
