Testimonies

“We aren’t even together anymore. My ex wants me to get an abortion. I don’t want to be forever connected to him. I just moved to this country, I have no family and no friends that could help support me. I can’t have a baby.” Camila knew she would have to have an abortion. It was not an emotional decision, just a logical choice. Until the ultrasound. Prior to seeing the baby, Camila had not thought about the emotional impact an abortion would have upon her. 

“I’m a deeply feeling person, at this point having an abortion will affect me greatly. Of this I am sure. But I really don’t think I can raise a baby right now, I have much to consider.” The staff of Your Options encouraged Camila to take her time in making a decision that she would be able to live with. She was also offered an appointment to come back and talk. Camila was informed of the many resources for young, single mothers in her area and how Your Options could help with material needs. 

Just a few days later, Camila shared that she had been able to talk with her mother and decided she would keep the baby. She quickly realized how much support within her community she truly had as people came alongside and celebrated the new life growing inside her. Camila gave birth to a healthy girl, Harmony. 

Because you give, women like Camila are given a chance to realize how much help there actually is and to see the humanity of their children. Rather than rushing to a decision that would leave her scared, Camila had the opportunity to be empowered to choose life! Thank you for giving! 

“Really? Pregnant! Already? We just got married a few months ago. How can this have happened this fast? We haven’t even had enough time to settle into marriage. I don’t know if we are ready for this.” 

Nia was nervous. She began looking for help online to end her pregnancy. They just couldn’t handle it yet. In researching information about the abortion pill, Your Options Medical appeared. Nia decided to reach out so she could ask a few questions. The staff explained the process a bit and steps needed prior to taking the abortion pill. She decided it was a good first step, especially because there was not cost to her. Nia booked an appointment.  

By the time she talked with her husband, Theo, Nia felt more confidant that they could navigate the challenges of parenthood. She was grateful to have come to Your Options Medical first before rushing into a decision she later would have very likely regretted. Nia and Theo welcome their incredible baby girl, Zara, into the world. She is doing well and they are thrilled. 

Thank you for giving so women like Nia can be given a chance to pause and consider their options carefully rather than being pressured into a decision they really never wanted to make. Thank you! 

“Oh no, positive. I can’t do this again. My miscarriage was HORRIBLE! I can’t deal with that again. Maybe I can just end it early before it becomes anything. Then I don’t have to go through the pain again.” 

Amira had already been pregnant a few times before. Both her children were past elementary school and after having a recent miscarriage, she did not want to get pregnant again. Her and her husband were both working fulltime in order to give their children a full life with all the advantages. She decided to go back to the place she found help several years ago: Your Options Medical. 

During the appointment, Amira shared that she did not want to have another baby at this point but also did not want to run the risk of having a miscarriage. She proclaimed a Christian faith and shared that she firmly believed sometimes abortion is necessary. After the ultrasound, she was still unsure but agreed to come back. At the next appointment, after seeing the ultrasound, Amira said she would continue her pregnancy. She knew the months ahead would be filled with challenges but this time she had her husband and her children to walk through it with her.  

Their family welcomed a strong little boy, Peter, into the world. They knew he was truly a blessing and cannot imagine a life without Peter in it. Your giving helps mothers like Amira take their time in making a decision and provides the medical services needed to empower families to CHOOSE LIFE! Thank you!
