The hope and help delivered to women in need via the only fully-staffed, bilingual pro-life contact center in the U.S. is so impactful that clients offer heartfelt gratitude and enthusiasm for the service they receive from the center.

Option Line recently celebrated 20 years of providing 24/7 pregnancy help to women and families facing unplanned pregnancy.

A program of Heartbeat International, Option Line makes critical connections with women at-risk for abortion, connecting these women to a local pregnancy help organization in their area, more than 2,200 pregnancy help organizations worldwide.

Since answering the first call in 2003, the Option Line team has served more than 5 million people seeking answers in an unexpected pregnancy.

Option Line consultants give calm, supportive guidance as they present the different options women have available to them.

Those who reach out to the contact center are encouraged and empowered with assistance and information provided with personalized care. Consultants communicate directly with more than 1,100 men and women each day via phone, live chat, texting, and email connecting someone to pregnancy help every 76 seconds. 


While this efficacy can make the difference between life and death with a pregnancy on the line, there is a very real human component to the work performed by Option Line consultants.
