I am or someone I know is considering an abortion

It can feel like there's no other way out...

But God has a plan for you!

And he has people waiting to help you!

Financial troubles, living arrangements, fear of the unknown – all these can make it appear that procuring an abortion is the only way out. But the truth is, all these problems will still be there on the other side – abortion doesn’t solve any of them and it leaves lasting emotional pain and trauma that further isolates a woman.

No matter what problems you’re facing,
you do not have to face them alone.

There are people ready right now to walk alongside you every step of the way to overcome obstacles that you and your child might face.
