Helping a
Friend
Are you visiting this site to help a
friend who may be in a crisis pregnancy? If so, She is very
fortunate to have someone like you in her life that who cares
enough to help with information and support.
Your friend is probably very scared about a possible pregnancy.
It could be that she's experiencing panic and insisting that
abortion is her only choice. The first thing you should do is
to encourage her to varify the pregnancy at our center. She
doesn't need to make any decisions until she is sure that she
is pregnant. Please consider coming with her for the visit. Our
tests are free, and we won't tell anyone of your visit to our
center. Some of the people here have been through a crisis
pregnancy, and some have chosen abortion. We are there to help
you explore your options. Our assistance is caring and
compassionate. We don't judge, preach, or condemn anyone
seeking our help.
When a client has a positive pregnancy test, we take the time
to provide her with information about all her options - single
parenting, marriage, adoption or abortion - and our extensive
support services. Many women initially feel like they have no
other choice but to abort their babies. With our support, many
realize they do have the ability to choose other options - like
single parent, get married, or place their baby for
adoption.
If your friend is pregnant, please understand that her decision
could affect you. If she wants an abortion, encourage her to
take the time to investigate all her options. There is no
reason to rush or panic. Understand that many friends who
accompanied women to abortion facilities discovered that they
felt "responsible" and were even traumatized by the experience
afterwards. Abortion isn't a safe and easy option for anyone
involved. Many women who have had abortions share that they
held deep anger against individuals who assisted with their
abortions because "they didn't stop them" from making a choice
that they would later regret. This could be a moment in time
that you remember for the rest of your life. Be a friend by
providing her with the best support available through our
center.

Just The Facts
Regardless of your feelings about abortion, it's best to offer
your friend everything that can help her make an informed
decision. If she is determined to abort, you won't be any less
of a friend if you don't accompany her to the facility.
Encourage her to visit our center and learn about all her
options. In doing so, you will be able to look back at this
time and understand that you truly helped her in a time of
need!

Men page for more specific information.
