“You cannot ask for lists of concrete reasons for abortions.” It mostly evokes a tendency to be responsible and not a clear answer. This is what researchers Wieke Beumer and Jenneke van Ditzhuijzen know from experience, based on their 2024 report “This is My Story.
The second part of Wieke and Jenneke’s research on abortion and unintended pregnancies was released last Monday, June 30, 2025. The report, “It starts with listening,” focuses on contraceptive use and experiences. One of its main conclusions: the conversation about contraception needs to improve. Mildred Clinics concurs with that.
Thus, contraceptive counseling is part of our counseling services. During the intake interview we look for a form of contraception that suits you. As a pregnant woman, you never have to justify your choice to us. Your body, your decision. We always offer you the support and information you need at that moment.
