All life is a gift from God. Whether a pregnancy is expected or not, all must be done to ensure the well being of this life from conception until natural death. Even if a mother feels that she cannot properly provide for this child, adoption or pregnancy counseling are the only sensible choices. Abortion should never be an option. If you or someone you know is pregnant and considering abortion, or just needs support in making the right decision to bring a life into the world, please contact one or more of the following abortion alternative helplines: |

So many women who have had an abortion know the anguish which they experience at the loss of the life growing within them. These feelings of anguish include, among others, anger, depression, guilt, shame, and disruption in daily routine. In some cases, a woman may feel so distraught that she will even avoid spending time
around babies and small children. They wish they could return to that point in their life, opting for bringing the child into the world. Unfortunately, they cannot do so. If you are a woman who is struggling with post-abortion trauma or know someone who is, please contact the following for support: |
