In this episode, I interviewed Petra Wallenmeyer representing Heartbeat International. She is extremely bright and helps us uncover the truth about the clump of cells theory, zygote, and even what Plan B is supposed to do. She is an advocate for women’s rights, and she's well accomplished herself.

 Heartbeat International, which has the Option Line program. Option Line is a 24x7, 365 pregnancy helpline dedicated to answering pregnancy-related questions and connecting women to local pregnancy help centers.
CareNet, which has the Pregnancy Decision Line. It is not 24/7 but also focuses on education, listening care and support, and connecting women to a local pregnancy help center for free pregnancy-related services.

Support After Abortion provides care to men and women in a variety of ways after an abortion experience -- small groups, one-on-one counseling, virtual groups, etc. 

Pregnancy help centers provide free services such as: 

• pregnancy testing and verification (like for Medicaid applications) 
• ultrasounds 
• parenting classes and childbirth preparation classes
• material aid for maternity and baby items (clothes, baby food, formula, bottles, toys, diapers, wipes, etc.)
• connections to community resources for other needs (jobs, housing, food, utility assistance, ongoing prenatal care, etc)
• std info, testing, and treatment
• adoption information and connections to trusted adoption organizations 
• factual information on abortion procedures, health, and safety considerations, and state laws
• fertility information
• information on birth control, contraception, and emergency contraception
• support and a listening ear for someone experiencing a possibly really hard or really scary situation
• after-abortion support groups

 Some smaller organizations which help women directly, in a virtual manner (they are not physical locations):

Let Them Live, which focuses on helping women seeking abortion for financial reasons get the financial steadiness they need to choose life. A client advocate works with each woman individually to help her get connected to local resources for food, healthcare, etc. 

Human Defense Initiative, which focuses on helping women with material needs while pregnant by making a baby registry for them on Amazon, as well as offering peer counseling and help to find additional local resources for needs during and after pregnancy and for themselves and any other older children the woman may already have. 

For pregnancy help centers local to Columbus, OH specifically, you could include:

Stowe Pregnancy Resource Center (they also offer other health, vision, and dental care!)

Pregnancy Decision Health Centers

The Women's Clinic of Columbus
