- Pregnancy options counseling is a form of counseling, aimed to help women come to a decision regarding a troubling or unintended pregnancy. In the United States, approximately 51% of the six million annual pregnancies are unintended. A majority of the women affected by an unintended pregnancy are either 20–24 in age, poor or of low income, or are a member of a minority group. Unintended pregnancy rates are generally higher in the South and Southwest regions of the United States, in densely populated areas. A lack of family planning, limited access to birth control or inconsistent use of birth control, are three of the contributing factors to unintended pregnancy. Other factors that lead to unintended pregnancy are birth control or contraception failure, rape or incest, unprotected sex, or unsuccessful vasectomy or tubal ligation. Counselors can be knowledgeable about what services are available to help women decide how to handle their pregnancy. By taking into consideration your present life circumstances, they can help you come to a decision about which option is best for you whether that be an abortion, give the child up for adoption, or choose to parent the child as a single parent. Counselors give information in a non-biased manner; neither encouraging nor discouraging a particular decision for a woman to make. (en)
