LDS Unplanned Pregnancy
If you’re facing an unplanned pregnancy and aren’t sure where to turn or what to do, we want to reassure you that help is available. Caring people are available to listen, explain options, and provide information to help you make decisions. Start with your Bishop and parents if at all possible. You may be surprised how much they love you and want to help. There is also help from above. Despite what you may think or feel right now, your Heavenly Father loves you and loves the child growing inside you. He will guide you; turn to Him for help. The resources on this page will help you find the information and support you need.
“All human beings - male and female - are created in the image of God. Each is a beloved spirit son or daughter of heavenly parents, and, as such, each has a divine nature and destiny.” - The Family: A Proclamation To The World, 1995
