If you are pregnant and having a hard time deciding what to do, you may call Cedar River Clinics at 1-800-572-4223 to schedule a unbiased Options Counseling appointment at one of our clinics (Renton/Seattle, Tacoma or Yakima). You will meet with a specially trained counselor to explore all of your options (mothering, adoption, abortion). Whether or when to give birth is an important life decision.
You don’t have to make up your mind during the appointment. After counseling you can take the time you need to make your own decision. What options are available to you also depend in part on the stage of your pregnancy (number of weeks since your last menstrual period, LMP)
These online resources offer useful tools:
- “Pregnant? Need Help?”
- National Abortion Federation - hotline at 800-772-9100 - referral to clinics and money to pay for an abortion
- Community Abortion Information and Referral (CAIR Project)
- Within Reach - connecting Washington women and families with government and other resources
- gain strength by reading women’s personal abortion stories
- Religious Coalition for Reproductive Choice
- maybe you want to consider adoption
- special resources for women of color
- watch out for fake clinics
You are not alone in facing this challenge. One in three American women have an abortion in their lifetimes. Cedar River Clinics in Renton, Tacoma, Yakima serve about 5000 women annually for abortion care. We trust women to make this important life decision.
