    Help

    I have a freind who just found out she's pregnant. She's single, lives paycheck to paycheck, the dad doesn't want her to have the baby and they aren't really commited to eachother. She wants to have the baby but she doesn't have the financial resources to do it on her own. Her family lives out of state and though she has friends she really can't depend on them. She feels her only option is having an abortion :( . Does anyone know of any programs &/or websites that would be good to check out?

    Thanks.
