Your Options for an Unplanned Pregnancy
Before you make any decision, take time to learn the truth about your options. These may include:
Parenting
Choosing to parent is a life-changing decision, but you won’t have to do it alone. We can help connect you to support services like medical care, housing, baby supplies, and financial assistance.
Adoption
Some women consider adoption as a way to provide a loving home for their child while continuing to pursue their own goals. Adoption allows you to stay in control of the process, choosing between open, closed, or semi-open adoption.
Abortion Services
Abortion services are offered at some abortion clinics and through medication. It’s important to understand exactly what these services involve and how they may affect your body and mind.
Abortion is a medical procedure that ends a pregnancy. Some women choose abortion because they feel pressured or afraid. Many later say they wish they had known all the facts first
What is the Abortion Pill?
Important information to know before making a decision.
The abortion pill is sometimes called a chemical abortion or medication abortion. It involves two medications that are usually taken within the first 10 weeks of pregnancy. Some people refer to this as miscarriage medicine, but it is different from a natural miscarriage.
The abortion pill works by:
- Stopping the pregnancy from growing
- Causing strong cramps to push out the pregnancy, similar to a miscarriage
This process is often called pregnancy termination because it ends the life of a fetus in the womb.
What Are the Risks of the Abortion Pill?
The abortion pill may cause:
- Heavy bleeding or hemorrhaging
- Severe cramping
- Nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea
- Infection or fever
- Emotional and spiritual pain, especially afterward
- An incomplete abortion, which may require surgery
This process is often called pregnancy termination because it ends the life of a fetus in the womb.
