Although not everyone believes that abortion should be legal, most people agree that it should be rare. Unfortunately, women across the United States are confronted with unplanned pregnancies that make abortion appear to be an appealing option. They may encourage abortion because they do not realize that there are better ways to respond to a crisis pregnancy. Many people are willing to help women see their pregnancy to term and ensure that their baby is cared for.
College students are among the most likely age group to face unplanned pregnancies.
They may want abortion to avoid embarrassment or financial hardship, or they believe it is the only way they can continue their education. Crisis pregnancy centers across the nation are staffed with caring volunteers who are ready and willing to provide confidential counseling and practical support to help women through a crisis pregnancy. If you think you may be pregnant, or you are considering abortion, or you would like to talk to someone about your specific needs, please contact any of the women's centers listed below. We are happy to assist students with any problems they encounter during their pregnancy or after they have given birth.
