Are you pregnant, or do you think you might be?
Are you feeling scared, alone, or confused about what you should do?
We understand. And so do a whole lot of other people in our area, people who are eager to provide you a safe, quiet space where you can sort out your thoughts and decide on a course of action that you can live with for the rest of your life.
We are among them. So here are three things that your new friends at Sonoma County Pro Life think it is important for you to know at this time.
You’re a Mom!
If you're really pregnant, then you are already a mom. There is a baby growing inside of you, not a “blob of tissue” or a “potential human being.” Thoughts of abortion may have entered your mind, and in today’s world that is one of your options. But before going down that road, you need be sure about what you are aborting. Trust us, many women who weren't sure now deeply regret their ill-informed decision. So please, take a few moments to learn all you can about the life that is growing in your womb. For starters, click here:

Abortion has Consequences
We understand that at first glance abortion can look like a quick, simple, inexpensive, and more or less secret solution to a problem pregnancy. But if you actually talk with women who have aborted their babies, they will tell you differently. They will say that their abortion had consequences that will affect them for the rest of their lives. Obviously, you need to become fully informed about those consequences before you abort.
