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

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,

receives more than 25,000 hits per week generating almost 1,000
