All-Options Pregnancy Counseling

    • Review your options for pregnancy. This includes abortion, adoption, and parenting resources.
    • Find birth control or emergency contraception.
    • Give you resources for community services that can help you.
    • Answer your questions about reproductive health options.
    • Find pregnancy information. This includes information about preparing for pregnancy, getting pregnant, and finding pregnancy care.

  • Let's talk!

    We’re available Monday through Friday from 8:00am to 4:30pm.

    There’s two ways to reach us:

    • Call or text us at 608-690-0893. We may not be able to answer right away - leave us a message or text and we’ll get back to you!

    • There’s no cost to talk with us.
    • We won’t talk to your partner(s), parent(s), or anyone else about what we discuss.

  • What to expect

    After we get your request to talk, we’ll meet with you. We can meet you wherever you’d like or talk over the phone. You decide which way you’d prefer!

    We’ll listen to your needs, get the details we need to connect you to the right services, and help you decide the next steps.

  • About us

    We believe that access to a full range of client-driven, equitable and factual reproductive health care, including safe and legal abortion, is necessary for healthy and thriving people who may become pregnant and their families.

    We are not a crisis line. If you need immediate help, call the National All-Options Talkline at 1-888-493-0092.

About our terminology
  • We often use the terms “woman,” “women,” “maternal”, and female gendered pronouns “she” and “her” when discussing the perinatal population, pregnant people, and people who give birth. We are limited with word choice when it involves programs like the Women, Infants and Children (WIC) and Maternal Child Health (MCH). It is important to recognize that these populations include people who identify as women, and also do not identify as women, including some gender-diverse people and some transgender men. We acknowledge the existence and validity of all people along the sex, sexuality, and gender spectrums.
  • We recognize this as a barrier for our intended audience and may limit who researches and ultimately views/accesses this information. We also recognize this barrier in collecting and reporting data, as it limits community members from seeing themselves accounted for in the data.
