Are you here because someone you care about might be pregnant—and she’s not sure what to do next? If so, just know this: she’s lucky to have you. Seriously. Having a friend who’s willing to show up, gather information, and offer support can make a huge difference in a really stressful moment.

Right now, your friend might be feeling overwhelmed, scared, or panicked. Maybe she’s saying things like, “I have to get an abortion,” or “I can’t do this.” That’s a totally normal reaction to a potential crisis pregnancy. But here’s the truth—she doesn’t have to figure everything out all at once. The best first step? Gather info! Get informed. Help her Pause… take a breath and confirm whether she’s actually pregnant.

At New Beginnings Pregnancy Help Center, we offer free, confidential pregnancy testing. There’s no pressure, and no one will find out she visited. It might help if you come along with her—that kind of support means more than you probably realize. Just having someone to sit with, ask questions, or drive her to the appointment can ease a lot of the anxiety she’s feeling.

If the test is positive, we’re here to walk her through every option—no judgment, no agenda. That includes parenting (single or with a partner), adoption, and abortion. A lot of women initially feel like abortion is their only option, especially if they’re scared or feeling alone. But once they hear about the support available—emotionally, medically, and even financially—they often realize they do have choices. Real ones.

Here’s something you might not have considered: her decision might impact you, too. Maybe you’re her best friend, a roommate, or even her boyfriend. If she’s leaning toward abortion, you might feel like the “right thing” to do is support whatever she decides, even if it means going with her to a clinic. But it’s okay to ask questions first. It’s okay to want her to take a little more time. Rushing into a decision doesn’t help anyone.

Some people who went with friends for abortions have said they felt a sense of guilt or regret afterward, like they were part of something they didn’t fully understand at the time. Others said they wished they had encouraged their friend to slow down and talk to someone first. And many women who’ve had abortions later share that they were angry at the people who just “went along with it” instead of helping them pause and explore other options. That’s heavy stuff—and it’s why this moment matters.

And here’s something important to remember: you’re still being a good friend even if you don’t support every decision. If she decides to have an abortion and you don’t feel okay going with her, that doesn’t mean you’re abandoning her. Sometimes real love looks like helping someone get more information, not just saying “yes” to whatever feels urgent in the moment.

Bottom line: your friend doesn’t have to do this alone. And you don’t have to figure out how to support her all on your own either. We’re here to help both of you. When you help her connect with New Beginnings, you’re giving her the space, support, and clarity she needs to make an informed decision she can live with—not just today, but long down the road.

This could be one of those moments you both remember forever. Be the kind of friend who helps her choose from a place of peace, not panic.
