Programs and results
What we aim to solve
At All-Options, we recognize that the issues of pregnancy, parenting, abortion, and adoption are siloed and stigmatized in our country and our communities, yet inextricably connected in the reality of our day-to-day lives. At least half of women in the United States will experience an unintended pregnancy; one in four will have an abortion by the age of 45, and one in four will experience a miscarriage. Nearly two-thirds of people who have abortions have already given birth to at least one child, and many will go on to parent in the future. In the US, more than one-third of single mother families and nearly 1 in 5 children live in poverty, and an estimated 1 in 3 families cannot provide adequate diapers for their children. All-Options is one of the only organizations working at the intersection of these issues. Our intersectional all-options approach reflects people’s lived realities – it’s also strategic, providing a compelling vision of the just and compassionate future we want.

Charting impact
Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.
What is the organization aiming to accomplish?
For almost 20 years, All-Options has been a trusted resource helping people find unbiased and judgment-free support for their decisions and experiences with pregnancy, parenting, abortion, adoption, infertility, and pregnancy loss. We use both direct service and social change strategies to meet people’s immediate needs while also fighting for the more compassionate and just future we all deserve.
Many of our programs fill gaps that remain unmet by other organizations. Nationwide, our All-Options Talkline is the leading provider of emotional support and options counseling for pregnant people, receiving thousands of calls every year from people seeking abortion care, struggling to make a pregnancy decision, or processing a past experience. Our Faith Aloud clergy counseling line offers spiritual and religious support for abortion and other reproductive decisions. Our public trainings work to improve the experience of pregnant people by imparting skills and knowledge to frontline providers so they can do a better job of offering unbiased, nonjudgmental support and referrals for abortion, parenting, and adoption.
In Indiana, we operate the state’s only abortion fund, supporting hundreds of Hoosiers each year, and are the only organization providing diapers, abortion funding, and other material support with a reproductive justice lens. We have been plaintiffs in multiple lawsuits challenging Indiana’s abortion restrictions, including the currently enjoined abortion ban, and are working to build advocacy partnerships while also organizing Hoosiers across the state.
All-Options plays a key connector role in the movement. We help individuals navigate a confusing landscape to find what they need, and build bridges between different sectors and organizations to create change. Our programs reduce misinformation, isolation, stigma, and delays in accessing care and resources, and work to ensure that every person can make the reproductive decisions that are right for them, with dignity.
What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?
All-Options uses a combination of direct service and social change strategies to ensure that people can find the support they need for decisions and experiences with pregnancy, parenting, abortion, and adoption.
We provide direct support to thousands of people each year through our toll-free national All-Options Talkline, the Faith Aloud clergy line, and our All-Options Pregnancy Resource Center in Bloomington, Indiana. We engage community members and train them as all-options counselors and activists for change, and they go on to become ambassadors and leaders in our organization, in their professions, and in the movement. We also share our expertise through trainings and workshops, so that more frontline advocates are able to offer unbiased and nonjudgmental support to people in their communities. And finally, we use advocacy and organizing to fight for the just and compassionate future we all deserve. We seek to make our programs obsolete by building a world where every person has the support and resources they need to make the reproductive decisions that are right for them.
