Pregnancy Crisis Service is a hotline and counselling service for expectant mothers facing unwanted pregnancies.
Our mission is to respond to the needs of persons who are faced with unwanted pregnancies, especially teenagers who are likely to turn to abortion as an easy way out of their predicament.
We understand it often takes courage to seek assistance. Our counsellors will listen to your concerns and endeavour to respond to your request for information, support or counselling, within a supportive, confidential and non-judgemental environment. The counselling we offer aims to help you recognize and develop your strengths to enable you to make informed decisions and cope more effectively with the difficulties you face.
If you have any concerns or queries associated with an unexpected or difficult pregnancy, abortion or other pregnancy loss, our counsellors at the Pregnancy Crisis Service can help.

Questions about Abortion & Your Choices
1. Is the embryo really human life?
All doctors and scientists agree that human life begins at conception, so even though the fertilized egg is still very tiny, a single cell in fact, it has all the genetic information it needs to grow into a baby and it is already growing and developing immediately after conception.
2. Isn’t abortion a religious issue?
It is not merely a religious issue but a moral issue affecting all people. Just like stealing and killing is always morally wrong regardless of religion, so too is abortion as it kills a human life.
3. But isn’t abortion legal in many countries?
Yes it is legal but morally it remains wrong. Immoral actions that are legalized remain immoral.
4. Why bring an unwanted baby into the world?
The baby’s new life was brought into the world from the moment of conception. Killing it remains immoral even though the baby is unwanted. We want you to consider other options.
5. I am really not ready to be a mother, what can I do?
We cater to the needs of expectant mothers so please call us (Tel: 63399770) and let us try to help you.
6. How can anyone really help me, besides my parents will kill me if they find out I am pregnant!
As far as we know, no parent in the world has ever killed their daughter because of her unplanned pregnancy. We will discuss with you in utmost confidence the most helpful course of action that is the best solution in the circumstances. We understand how you feel.
7. I am not sure if I am pregnant, but if I am, what are my options?
Call us and we will arrange a confidential pregnancy test, and also discuss your options in confidence. There are alternatives to abortion and we can help you.
8. What are the effects of an abortion?
Research has shown that women who undergo abortions suffer the psychological side effects of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder or Post Abortion Syndrome. Many possible physical complications may also arise: infection, damage to the uterus, infertility, increased risk of future miscarriages, premature births, and an increased risk of breast cancer.
