Research on HG's short- and long-term effects is desperately needed and needed now. We need to do more to find a cure for this disease that has such devastating effects on a growing number of soon-to-be mothers.

Our Pro-Life/Pro-Choice Statement

As a non-profit foundation, HER Foundation does not hold official political views on topics such as elective abortion. Our efforts are directed at preventing the need for abortion since those seeking our assistance desire to maintain their pregnancies.

We are dedicated to supporting and educating those trying to survive this debilitating illness. Many women contacting our organization have terminated one or more pregnancies due to misery and ineffective treatment. One of our polls showed at least 25% of women responding have aborted at least one wanted pregnancy due to HG.

We are here to help all women facing HG and each one is treated with compassion and understanding. Everyone who volunteers or is actively involved in our foundation has experienced HG. We truly understand what women and their families are facing, and we are here for them.
