When to become a parent is a very important decision. If you are pregnant and having a hard time deciding what to do, you may call us at 1-800-572-4223 to schedule a special “Options Counseling” appointment at one of our clinics. You will meet with a specially trained counselor to explore all of your options (mothering, adoption, abortion).
You don’t have to make up your mind during the appointment. After counseling you can take the time you need to make your own decision. What options are available to you are also determined in part by the stage of your pregnancy (number of weeks since your last menstrual period, LMP).
Here are some additional online resources:
- “Pregnant? Need Help?” workbook.
- Call Backline toll free at 1-888-493-0092 to talk with someone about all of your options.

Having an abortion is something that lots of women do when it's not the right time to have a baby. You are not alone in facing this challenge. One in three American women have an abortion in their lifetimes.
