Overview

Where does someone turn when facing an unplanned pregnancy? Preconceived tells the stories of Maleeha and Maria, two women who, while navigating unplanned pregnancies, inadvertently found themselves at facilities discouraging them from abortions.

Amid a shifting legal landscape, Preconceived underscores the significance of understanding the resources available to pregnant people.
