It is common and natural for women to regret their abortion decision. You may have been pressured or not given full or accurate information before you made your decision.

Contact Project Rachel for more information.
It is against the law for anyone, regardless of their relationship to you, to force you to have an abortion. You have the right to contact any local or state law enforcement agency to receive protection from any actual or threatened physical abuse or violence. Contact a Pregnancy Help Center for advice or call the National Domestic Violence Hotline: 1-800-799-7233.

Some women choose to form an adoption plan for their baby instead of choosing to parent. If you are concerned about your ability to parent your baby, you may want to consider adoption. Forming an adoption plan is a loving and courageous option. Not only are you giving your child the precious gift of life, but you will be blessing a couple waiting to grow their family through adoption.
You will have the choice to have a relationship with your child and the adoptive family by choosing either a closed or an open adoption. Adoption is a personal and permanent decision with many factors to consider, and though being a birth mother is not always easy, it is truly an act of love. Learn more about adoption on the Resources page.
Many organizations across the state support their local communities, but technology has made collaborations possible so that women throughout the entire state can be supported and empowered during and after unexpected pregnancies. In addition, many churches want to support you with a caring community and material/spiritual needs. Reach out to your local faith community for a respected mentor and support system.
