Are you, or someone you know, pregnant? Regardless of how far along you are, you are NOT ALONE. There is someone growing inside you. There is support for each stage of your pregnancy, and beyond. There are people who care. And, God has said, "Never will I leave you." (Hebrews 13:5)

You are not alone. The baby growing inside of you is a beautiful, intentional creation. Your body will change. And, of course, your life will change. That may be a little scary, totally terrifying, or perfectly timed. There are people who would like to hear your story.

You   may not know it, but your baby's heartbeat starts at 21 Days. Just two weeks later all five fingers can be discerned. By the second month your baby is a little more than an inch long. In the third month your baby sleeps, wakens and exercises. He or she will continue to grow, learn to recognize your voice and in the ninth month will be ready to enter world outside the womb.

There are also links to pregnancy care centres, and to Adoption Services.

If are considering aborting this child, we caution you . Pregnancy is a natural state. Abortion is an act of violence that affects mother and child.

If aborting your baby is an option for you, we urge you to fully research the pro's (an anticipated feeling of relief that proves fleeting) and the con's (a decision you can never reverse that affects your body profoundly and, of course, destroys the young life within you). Ask lots of questions. It's your right to know.

The abortion industry is just that - a business that profits from every procedure. (In 2007/08 the industry raked in between $6 million and $8 million in Alberta alone). Health affects, such as increased chances of breast cancer, recurring nightmares, relationship breakdown and depression, are not properly highlighted.

Did you know a 2001 study sponsored by the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario found that women who had an abortion increased their chances of being hospitalized for psychiatric problems by nearly five times? For more information check out www.AbortionInCanada.ca

Give yourself time to adjust. There are cultural and political hurdles to embracing motherhood... For the past 21 years, Canadian law has not recognized the status of an unborn as a person.

DID YOU KNOW that 100 years ago the statutory word "person"
did not include women?

You may be faced with unreasonable pressures such as, "It's the baby or me, you choose," or "You can't do this to us, what will people think!?" or you may be thinking - the time is not right, the baby will ruin everything. Or, you may be thinking abortion is no big deal, everyone does it. And, you'd be right. A lot of people do it. In 2007, there were 12,000 abortions in Alberta. In fact, one in five people are directly affected by the tragedy of abortion. That does not mean you have to do anything. This is your baby. This is your body that the baby calls home. It is within your legal right to abort this child. But, don't be fooled, it IS a big deal.

            "64% of women who have had abortions state that they were pressured by others to abort... and 67% said they received no counseling prior to their abortions," according to a study called Induced Abortion and traumatic stress: A preliminary comparison of American and Russian women that appeared in the Medical Science Monitor, 2004.

An abortion means facing a future with no baby. You also need to be okay with that. You need to be okay with what the doctor will do to baby, how they will do it and how that will make you feel. Remember, ask lots of questions.

You urge you to seek help, guidance and an honest appraisal of the situation. Use the links on this page, or call our office at 1-877-880-5433.

If there is a local pregnancy care centre, or a pro-life group in your area, please contact them. You are in charge, and you are up to it! You'll be a great parent! And, remember, you are not alone.
