I Need Some Help!

1. It is important to take time to examine all the options that are available to you.

2. You want to have a pregnancy test. If you prefer to have your pregnancy test at an abortion center, keep in mind that their business is based on the number of abortions performed. That is how they make money. Please read the Q&A by a former abortion provider, and also this article -- click here.  There are many  medical clinics and pregnancy centers that provide free pregnancy tests. Click here for some resources, or check your phone book under "Abortion Alternatives".

3. Talk to someone you trust. If you are pregnant, you are already the mother of your child who has had a beating heart since about 25 days after fertilization. 

You are not alone or helpless in your pregnancy. You may be pleased with and surprised by the support your parents and friends will give you. They may  express surprise, anger, or disappointment at first, but  give them a chance to support you. Be firm in your decision to give life to your child.

4. Get information concerning the development of your child. Find out the age of your baby and learn about his/her characteristics at each stage of development.    

5. Get information on groups that can help you carry your baby to term and help during delivery.  There  are groups who can also assist with medical care and housing, if you need it. (scroll down)

6. Find agencies that can help you after the baby is born. Contact your local crisis pregnancy center.

7. Learn about adoption possibilities, in the  event that you should decide to place the baby after birth. Click Here

8. Be fully informed about abortion. Get information on abortion techniques and on the possible physical and emotional complications that you could  experience that can result after an abortion, including the potential increased risk for breast cancer. 

9. Contact any of the following help-lines. It is not necessary to give your name.

Again, if you prefer to get pregnancy and abortion information at an abortion center, please keep in mind that they profit from the  number of abortions  performed.

Find out if abortionists in your area have hospital privileges and malpractice insurance, and if there are any malpractice suits pending  against them.  Many American women are harmed and killed each year by legal abortions.

If you decide to get your pregnancy test at a neutral site, please scroll up, for help-lines, or look under "Abortion Alternatives" in the Yellow Pages.            

Abortion is not a "safe" procedure.                                    

Take time to fully understand all your alternatives.

An abortion cannot be reversed.                

Remember, the decision you make will affect you for the rest of your life.  

Don’t let anyone pressure you into a quick decision.

Abortion lasts forever…
