Pregnancy Options

Things don’t always go as planned. Finding out you are pregnant when you weren’t trying to be can be stressful, but you do have options!

1. Parenting:

When making this decision, Planned Parenthood recommends thinking about…

  • How would my decision affect my future?

  • How would my decision affect my family or other children?

  • Am I ready to go through pregnancy and childbirth?

  • Am I ready to raise a child right now?

  • Do I have strong personal or religious beliefs about abortion, parenting, or adoption?

  • Is anyone pressuring me to make a certain choice?

  • Would my decision change my life in a way I don’t want?

  • Will my family, my friends, and my partner support my decision?

2. Adoption:

  • For information on parenting, adoption, and abortion, visit Bedsider.org

  • Call the All-Options Talkline at 1-888-0092 for unbiased and judgement-free support and referrals for any experiences with pregnancy, parenting, abortion, and adoption.

3. Abortion:

  • Abortion is a common and safe medical procedure that lets you end a pregnancy. Bedsider’s national directory, Abortion Finder, will help you find your nearest abortion provider. Abortion Finder is an easy-to-use search tool where you can enter your age, the first day of your last period, and your zip code, and we will give you a list of local and verified abortion providers who can help you.

  • Kentucky Health Justice Network’s Abortion Support Fund offers direct support to people facing barriers to abortion access in Kentucky. To request support, please call 1-855-KSN-4KSN (1-855-576-4576) and leave a voicemail or submit their support request google form.
