This site has multiple resources to turn to. We did an experiment and called some of the 24-hour crisis pregnancy hotlines from the site to see how helpful they were:
​
Abbie: "I called 1-800-672-2296 pretending to be an 18 year old girl who believed she was pregnant. The operator was extremely calm and collected and merely asked me to take a pregnancy test and then directed me to a pregnancy crisis center in my area. The hotline is 100% anonymous, and only asks for a zip code (so they can locate a pregnancy crisis center). The operator was also willing to talk about fears and concerns and was overall extremely helpful."
Jordan: "I called 1-800-712-HELP. The scenario I had was that I was 16 years old, I had sex with my boyfriend and suspected I was pregnant. I was scared and felt like I had no support. The woman on the line talked to me with respect and remained calm throughout the entire conversation. She didn’t immediately jump into the possibility of keeping the baby or aborting but rather encouraged me to take a pregnancy test and directed me on next steps. I appreciated the fact that the call remained completely anonymous other than asking for your zip code in order to find you local help/support. I used my hometown (98501) and she gave me the number to turn to: 360-753-0061. The woman from the original hotline didn’t talk about abortion or bring it up until I did. At this time, she encouraged me to talk to the people that are at the building she referred me to in order to find the best solution. I highly recommend this site for a comfortable and compassionate source for help!"
