MY STORY

Tasha
Age 20
"I
was so scared---it had to be a mistake. I didn't want to
be pregnant! Not when Derick and I just broke up. My
friend had an abortion last summer; maybe that's what I
should do.""I
was driving and saw a sign that said 'Pregnant? Need
help?' Since I thought I might be, I decided to stop in to
see if they really could help. When I walked in, I was
so scared, but the lady at the front desk was actually
nice. They gave me a free pregnancy test, and when it was
positive, they gave me information about all of my
options.
I was so glad that I had someone I could talk to, and I
didn't have to go through this alone. They helped me deal
with my parents, and they even helped me break the news to
my ex-boyfriend. Whenever any of my friends think they
might be pregnant, I tell them to call Amnion, because I
know they'll be respected and get the help they need." |

"I was
freaking out---my period was late. I couldn't talk to my
parents, because they didn't even know I was having sex. I
never thought I'd ever consider having an abortion, but I
was in such a mess. I just couldn't deal with being
pregnant."
"I looked in the phonebook
and saw the ad for Amnion Crisis Pregnancy Center. Since
it said that it was confidential and free, I decided to
give them a call. Eric came with me to the appointment; we
were both really scared and didn't know what to do. The
lady I spoke to was really cool, and I liked that she
talked to both of us. When my test result was positive,
she wasn't judgmental or pushy and just gave us the
support we needed to make our choice. She gave us
information about abortion that we didn't even know, like
the physical and emotional effects of having one. I'm
really glad Amnion is there to help other people in this
situation. They really helped us!"
