New web page created to tell stories of hope and pregnancy help from women

CV NEWS FEED // The newly launched webpage “Her Story” offers a platform for women to share inspiring stories of resilience and support in the face of unplanned pregnancies, according to Pregnancy Help News. 

These stories recount the journeys of women who have been helped by pro-life organizations and resources, underscoring that no woman has to face an unplanned pregnancy alone. This initiative aims to counteract common misconceptions about the pro-life movement, particularly the notion that support ends with a baby’s birth. 

“Our goal is to refute the abortion lobbyists’ lie,” says Anna Stephens, communications coordinator for Her PLAN, highlighting the dedication of the pro-life community to walking with these women “every step of the way.”

Her Story is part of Her PLAN (Her Pregnancy and Life Assistance Network), an organization established in 2020 that connects nearly 4,800 support providers across 29 states, including food pantries, shelters, and health care providers. 

This extensive network facilitates connections between pregnancy centers and other essential services, further empowering women during critical times. Through an online directory, providers can locate resources by state, reinforcing the collaborative focus of Her PLAN. 

“Our focus is on providers connecting with one another,” Stephens explains, emphasizing the platform’s role as a bridge between diverse support networks.

The Her Story page amplifies these successes by featuring diverse testimonials, allowing women to share firsthand the positive impact of pregnancy help resources. Stories range across categories such as pregnancy support, abortion recovery, adoption, and pregnancy loss. 

With 30 to 40 stories currently live, along with many more awaiting publication, the site aims to expand its reach, working with various media outlets to bring these narratives of “hope and truth” to a wider audience. 

“There are untold stories out there that are not spotlighted in the media,” Stephens says. “Each woman, each story, each child is unique.”

The stories showcase the transformative power of support for women in crisis pregnancies. One woman named Kathleen found help through a homeless shelter after sleeping behind a dumpster while eight months pregnant. Another woman named Beverly chose life for her daughter despite a Trisomy 18 diagnosis, and now helps other families facing similar situations. 

The testimonials reflect the movement’s broader mission of ongoing support for women. In many cases, these women eventually volunteer with the same organizations that once helped them, forming a “full circle” of compassion and advocacy.

Commenting on the way in which the women’s stories show the impact of the pro-life and pregnancy help movement, Stephens said that Her Story serves as “a beautiful testament of how the movement walks with these women not just for a moment but for a lifetime.”
