This has to be two of the hardest words to say as a teenager. It can be isolating, especially with all the shame that is out there. Well, there is a new resource for teens dealing with unplanned pregnancies.

Mom, Dad, I'm Pregnant is a project

sponsored by the Abortion Conversation Project (ACP), which is composed of abortion providers and their allies who see the need to support the people who turn to us for help. Although we mostly see people seeking information about abortion, we also refer for prenatal care and adoption services. We know that good decisions are based on good information and good support.

I know that this site is going to get ripped for being sponsored by abortion providers. It will also get ripped because it offers teens a plan for escape - just in case your parents got insane and start to hurt you physically.

It's nice to see that there is now this site that deals fairly honestly, IMO, about how to deal with your parents. I know that if I had been pregnant at 16, I would have never told my parents or just about anyone. The stakes were too high and the expecations even higher. *sigh* Too many young women deal with all of this alone far too often. Maybe this site will give them the strength to reach out to someone, hopefully a parent, but at least another human being.
