Sixty percent of women who had an abortion said they would not have if they had received more emotional or financial support. Women who seek abortions are typically already single moms living in poverty – afraid they won’t be able to feed the children already at their kitchen table, or dependent on an abusive partner for shelter.

Local pregnancy centers, churches, and neighbors are where she turns first, but they want and need help from community partners to meet complex needs like housing, childcare, transportation and mental health. Too often those resources are hard to find, absent, or over capacity. That is where Her PLAN steps in to help them help her.

Her PLAN is dedicated to ensuring pregnancy centers, churches, and communities have access to local resources they need to help pregnant moms choose life and sustain their choice for life throughout her pregnancy.

To make this possible, we developed a framework for the “pro-life safety net,” which provides the basis for everything we do. This framework includes traditional pro-life organizations like pregnancy centers, maternity homes and single and teen mom support groups, but also includes the charities, ministries and public assistance necessary to address her specific material and emotional needs – shelters, addiction recovery, food pantries, church counseling programs.

Her choice for life is not a singular point in time decision. She is making that choice every day of her pregnancy. All Her PLAN programs enable local communities to increase her access to the resources that sustain her decision for life.

Together, we build Her Community, so she, and her baby, can thrive.

Her PLAN currently operates nationally and in 29 states. Click a state to learn more.
