You Deserve Support

An unplanned pregnancy can make an already hectic life feel even more complicated. You’re likely juggling exams, papers, and the ups and downs of navigating different relationships. This news can stop you in your tracks and leave you wondering what to do.

We’re here to support you. You’re more capable than you know of navigating this time and making a confident decision. Our caring advocates will ensure you have what’s needed to succeed.

What Are My Rights?

First, know that the law is on your side. Title IX is a federal civil rights law prohibiting pregnancy and parenting-related discrimination at schools and universities that receive federal funds.

According to this law, your school must provide certain protections, including:

• Allowing you to participate in school and extracurricular activities
• Providing you with reasonable adjustments, which can include larger desks and more frequent bathroom breaks
• Allowing excused absences for pregnancy and childbirth

You are protected from unfair treatment and entitled to finish your education.

The Pregnancy Decision Is Yours Alone

Finding the support and encouragement you deserve is vital. However, you might find it difficult in school, especially if you’re a minor or worry about your parents’ reactions.

First, know that the pregnancy decision is yours to make. No one, including your family, can pressure you to make a decision you’re uncomfortable with.

It’s important that you can make a decision free from pressure or outside opinions. Ultimately, this is your life and future, so making a confident choice matters.

We offer various no-cost services, including limited ultrasounds, options information, and community referrals, to help you feel equipped to make a decision. Our advocates will provide emotional guidance and resources so you can weigh your options while balancing schoolwork, friendships, and more.
