I Don’t Want to Be Pregnant. Is Abortion My Only Option?

Learning you’re unexpectedly pregnant can leave you feeling anxious and unsure where to turn. If abortion is the first option that comes to mind, you might wonder if it’s your only way forward. However, you have more than one path to consider and deserve support as you explore them.

At Life Line, our caring team provides free and confidential pregnancy services, including a non-judgmental place to discuss every option. Schedule your appointment today to learn more about the support and resources available to you.

Abortion Is Not the Only Path

While abortion is one possible decision, it isn’t the only one. Abortion is a serious procedure with potential risks and side effects. Before making a choice, it’s essential to understand what it involves and consider how it may affect your health, emotions, and future.

Many women are surprised to learn about the resources available for parenting or making an adoption plan. These options can open doors you might not have imagined and allow you to make decisions that align with your values and goals.

Parenting 

Parenting can feel intimidating if your pregnancy was unplanned, but it can also bring deep joy and purpose. At Life Line, we provide:

• Parenting Education and Mentoring: Classes and one-on-one support to help you feel prepared for parenting and nurturing your child at every stage.
• Material Assistance: Diapers, clothing, and baby gear to ease financial challenges.
• Community Referrals: Connections to housing, medical care, and more.

You may wonder about relationships, career plans, or how to balance school and parenting. Our staff will walk alongside you, helping you find the solutions and confidence to care for your child.

Though your circumstances may feel challenging, remember that things can improve with the proper support. We’ll help you find what you need to feel successful. 

Creating an Adoption Plan

Adoption can be emotionally difficult, but it is a decision rooted in love. This option allows your child to grow up in a stable family while you pursue your goals. With adoption, you remain in control—choosing the family and deciding how much contact you’d like.

Life Line provides referrals to reputable adoption agencies to guide you through every step. Adoption services are provided at no cost to you, and medical expenses during pregnancy are typically covered. 

You decide what feels right, whether you prefer an open adoption with ongoing visits, a semi-open plan with limited communication, or a closed adoption with complete privacy.

Moving Toward a Confident Decision

Every woman’s circumstances are unique. That’s why we take time to listen to your story and provide information without judgment or pressure. 

You don’t have to face this pregnancy alone. Schedule your free, confidential appointment today to talk with someone who cares about your future and explore every option available.
