Women who have no choice

I'm on the PDHC prayer list. I pray for women who have come to them for ultrasounds or pregnancy concerns. This week was typical--here's three:

* college student; had ultrasound done; boyfriend wants abortion
* single woman, mother of one; is 6 weeks; wants to parent but her mother wants her to have an abortion
* woman 7 weeks; has two daughters; in abusive relationship; has no support

If you are "pro-choice," keep in mind that 65% of the girls/women who have abortions have no choice--someone else is making it for them. Parents, husband, boy friend.

My friend Kelly says, “I had a friend in that exact situation in college. At the last minute she used her choice, and allowed friends to help her raise a beautiful baby in college. (It was even fun for all of us). She went on to do a Ph.D. and now has a wonderful 32-year old son.”
