Session 19 | Ethical Pregnancy Support
JustChoice is a grassroots organization founded by people with a range of experience with abortion, adoption, parenting, and the foster care system. The organization is built around the principle that a pregnant person cannot make an ethical adoption decision without having access to all their pregnancy options, including abortion. JustChoice is contacted by pregnant people who need support—emotional, financial, administrative or otherwise—and staff help them navigate both their pregnancy decisions and the systems surrounding pregnancy that are so notoriously harmful, especially to vulnerable people. The JC staff perform many of the same functions as a social worker might, and the organization is essentially the pro-abortion movement's version of a Crisis Pregnancy Center—if the pregnant person was fully supported in whatever decision they made, and if CPCs actually made good on the offers to support those who decide to parent, as opposed to making fake promises as part of their overall anti-abortion manipulation strategy. The most incredible part of this incredible org is that JustChoice believes that their model can and should be replicated by good, hard working, dedicated folks, no social work license required. JustChoice preserves and supports pregnant people and families by providing financial and community resources including mutual aid and hosting, crisis intervention, abortion support, adoption support, parenting support, all-options pregnancy counseling, and family healing via restorative justice healing circles. Unlike deceptive “crisis pregnancy centers,” they provide honest, evidence-based support to help people make informed decisions about their reproductive health and family-building options. The Guttmacher Institute's findings show that their work providing comprehensive, unbiased counseling, improves decision-making and mental health outcomes. By expanding partnerships, scaling community programs, and advocating for systemic change, they envision a future where all women and families thrive. Learn more at .
