After a disclosure of their abortion decision, some participants experienced enacted stigma, including shame and emotional abuse.

Not all male partners agreed with adolescentsвЂ™ decisions to seek an abortion, and agreement by some males did not guarantee emotional or material support some young women described their partnersвЂ™ giving them the вЂњfreedomвЂќ to make the decision as avoiding responsibility. Anticipated stigma motivated participants to keep their decision private, although they desired emotional and material support. They chose abortion because parenting would limit their futures, and they believed they could not provide a child with all of her or his needs. Participants researched their pregnancy options and involved others in their decisions. Data were analyzed thematically using stigma and social support theories. In-depth interviews were conducted with 20 individuals aged 16вЂ“19 who sought judicial bypass in Texas between 20 to explore why they chose to get an abortion, who they involved in their decision and what their experiences of social support were. Most states require adolescents younger than 18 to involve a parent prior to obtaining an abortion, yet little is known about adolescentsвЂ™ reasons for choosing abortion or the social support received by those who seek judicial bypass of parental consent for abortion.
