Option Line Connects Women To The Resources They Need! 

If you or someone you know needs help dealing with an unexpected pregnancy or a past abortion, call Option Line (1-800-395-HELP) any hour of the day or night.

Option Line is America’s first and only call center staffed 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year, by paid consultants trained in pregnancy, abortion, and post-abortion issues.

Using a three-way telecommunications transferring system and a uniquely designed computerized database that is constantly updated, consultants search through thousands of zip codes and services nationwide to instantly connect the caller to the closest pregnancy resource center for the services they need.

Option Line connects callers with pregnancy centers that provide free and confidential assistance with:
  • Pregnancy testing
  • Understanding abortion techniques
  • Ultrasound
  • Fetal Development
  • Post-abortion syndrome
  • Adoption
  • Sexually transmitted diseases
  • Parenting
  • Medical referrals and services
  • Housing
  • Emotional support

Callers from across the country can reach a trained, caring person when they have the courage and determination to call Option Line’s toll-free number. They are only referred to pregnancy centers that belong to a membership organization that has pledged to uphold the standards in our Commitment of Care.

The national call center began receiving calls in January 2003 and now receives more than 3,000 calls each month. The Web site, www.optionline.org, also listed as www.pregnancycenters.org, receives more than 25,000 hits per week generating almost 1,000 emails a month.

Option Line is not only advertised on the Internet but also extensively around the country on television and on billboards. The toll-free number has been used in conjunction with the Silent No More Campaign as a resource for women hurt by abortion. Many pro-life educational service-oriented TV spots use the Option Line number to provide a helpful resource for women.

Heartbeat International has invested in a television spot produced to reach the Generation Y audience. For Heartbeat affiliates who are interested in advertising the Option Line number on your local television station, this professionally designed TV spot is now available by contacting the Heartbeat International office.
