A VOICE OF HOPE ON THE LINE

Pregnancy Coach: Hello, this is the Pregnancy
Decision Line, how can I
help you?*

Caller:

I want to know about having an abortion. I

need one as soon as possible. I already have
a 10-month-old daughter, and I dont have
enough money for another baby. I work
third shift at a convenience store. I dont
want to be a mother again.

Pregnancy Coach: Is the father of the baby around

for support?

Caller:

 o, he wants me to get an abortion. My

N
mother helps sometimes, but I cant count
on her. I cant do this alone. I dont want
to be a mother! I need to know about the
procedure, now.

Pregnancy Coach: OK. Let me share with you some

information about abortion.

Caller:

[Crying noises heard in the background.]

Pregnancy coach shares details about impact of abortion

on the mother and the baby, the procedure itself, and the risks involved, etc.

Pregnancy Coach: I know this can be very difficult to

hear. Are you OK?

Caller:

[ Sobbing] No, Im sorry. I know God will

punish me for wanting an abortion. But
what choice do I have? I cannot be a mom
again... I just cant.

Pregnancy Coach: T
 ake your time and cry. Ill be here
to listen when youre ready.

Caller:

[ Still sobbing] Its like, all my life Ive always

thought of myself as a failure, that I was
never accepted.

Pregnancy Coach: God loves you no matter what. He

paid the price for your sins and
mine. God doesnt punish, God
forgives us with His gracious and
powerful love.

Caller:

I just feel so much pressure...

Pregnancy Coach: W
 ould you mind if I prayed with
you? And then Id like to give you
some information so that you
can get in touch with one of our
pregnancy centers. They can help
you. You are not alone.

Caller:

OK. Thank you.

The Caller chose life for her baby! This is the kind of lifesaving impact
you are making with your support of Care Nets Pregnancy Decision Line!
