Thinking about abortion?
We are here to help you understand all of your options. We do not provide or refer for abortion procedures.
It’s perfectly normal to feel afraid when you find out you’re pregnant. Pregnancy can be scary! You are not alone.
If you’re considering an abortion, it’s important to have all of the information before making your decision. Here at Stowe PRC, we do not offer abortion services or referrals. We are here to listen, not to judge. We want to do everything we can to help. That means making sure as you move forward, you are aware of what an abortion involves.

Keep in mind that No one should ever force, threaten or rush you into an abortion decision. This is one of the biggest decisions you will ever make, with lifelong effects on your emotional and physical health. If you’re considering an abortion because you feel trapped or that you’re out of options, there are people and programs available to help.

Alternatives
Parenting
Parenting is a life long journey comprised of gems to be mined. It takes work, but the gems of lessons learned, legacy, and love are well worth it. Single parenting, married parenting, joint parenting, and birth parenting are all options and we can help you navigate a plan to give the best to your child.
Adoption
Making an adoption plan for your child is a beautiful option. It takes a strong person to put the needs of her child first. Adoption isn't something you choose in a day. It takes time. We are not affiliated with an adoption entity, but we will walk with you as you discover if this adoption option is for you.
Here at Stowe PRC, we do not offer abortion services or referrals. We are here to listen, not to judge.
