Step 1
This program is meant to give abortion vulnerable girls and young women a place to go that will support them carrying their child to term. She will begin her residence during her pregnancy, during which she will learn how to care for her child and herself. Finishing high school, trade school or college will be expected to become hire-able.
Step 2
After her baby is born she will continue with her education along with learning basic life skills. During each stage she will be in counseling and learn how to focus on healthy decision making that will allow her to be proactive and not reactive.
Step 3
The final part of the program is putting everything she has learned into practice. In an environment that gives her privacy and responsibility but still allows for support and encouragement she can become independent.
Who we can help
Every day young women find themselves in the scary position of an unplanned pregnancy. They naturally seek out solutions, support and answers to how they should proceed. Most of the time they are given the advice and encouraged to abort, with the explanation that a baby would be the end of their future.
This belief creates the outcome that most abortions being performed for socio-economic reasons such as I will have to quit school, I can’t afford a baby, I’m not ready to be a mother, or I will get kicked out.
Though an unplanned pregnancy can change the course a woman had planned it does not need to be the end of her life, schooling or growth as a person. There is another way and it does not need to be a choice between sacrificing a successful future or a child.
How we begin to help
We can begin by being honest about abortion and what it does. It ends a life and therefore destroys an unseen future for both mother and child. We cannot sit back and be passive about the destruction of God’s creation.
Next, we can love these women through this uncertain time and show them they are strong enough to be successful and have their baby.
