Facing an unplanned pregnancy can feel overwhelming, especially when you are uncertain about the path forward. For many Jewish women, the pressure to make the “right” decision is immense, especially when religious, cultural, and personal beliefs weigh heavily. At SHIFRA, we understand that there are no easy answers, and we are here to provide a compassionate, non-judgmental space.

When You’re Considering Abortion: You’re Not Alone

If you’re facing a pregnancy decision and contemplating abortion, it’s important to know that you’re not alone. Before making a decision, call SHIFRA. Many women experience doubt and confusion when considering abortion. At SHIFRA, we create a safe, supportive environment for Jewish women to openly share their thoughts, concerns, and fears without judgment, often making abortion feel unnecessary. 

At SHIFRA we provide real resources like counseling, financial aid, and practical help. SHIFRA empowers women to feel capable of moving forward with their pregnancy.

Real Stories of Hope and Empowerment

Many women who’ve called SHIFRA were once in your shoes, uncertain about their pregnancy and what to do next. Stories like that of Aliza Z., a single mother from Ohio, remind us that with the right support, it’s possible to make the decision to keep a child—even when it feels overwhelming. Aliza shared, “I couldn’t have made it through this difficult time without the support I received. The community and resources provided were lifesaving.”

Others, like Dalia, found that emotional and financial assistance helped them keep their family afloat during difficult times. Dalia says, “SHIFRA allowed us to keep our family afloat in an incredibly challenging situation. Thank G-d we now have a healthy baby girl.”
