Real Help For "Unplanned" Pregnancy
Real help for pregnancy does not pressure a woman into a "choice"
of only adoption or abortion, denying her any other options. If
you are experiencing a surprise pregnancy, here is one website that
provides suggestions for resources if you should want to keep you
baby.
Keeping
Your Baby and Making it Work
If you decide to continue your pregnancy, we'd like to be the first
to say to you "Congratulations, MOM!" Because when your
baby is born you are her mother, not a "birthmother" ("birth
object").
"Unplanned" Pregnancy - Does Pregnancy
Have to Be Planned?
Many of us have had our infant sons and daughters taken for use
in adoption. One of the rationalizations given by those in favor
of taking our babies is that our pregancy was "unplanned".
But many pregnancies are unplanned. When the mother is married,
regardless of whether she "planned" her pregnancy, she
will not be subjected to societal pressures to make her baby available
for infertile people to adopt. Yet if she is single, she may be
"shamed" - literally terrorized - to make her feel worthless
and get her baby. "Unplanned" pregnancy (single pregnancy)
does not mean an unwanted child. By the time she goes through nine
months of pregnancy and gives birth, the single pregnant woman is
the mother of her baby. She needs her baby and most definitely her
baby needs her.
