Today I went to do sidewalk counseling at the abortion mill. It was busy, and we helped a girl keep her baby.
She was 17 years old and was there with her mother. The girl didn´t want an abortion, but the mother was pressuring her to have it.
I asked her if she regretted having her daughter and she started talking about the usual justifications: she is so young, she is not prepared, etc…
I listen to her for a while and tried to convince her to let her daughter keep the baby, but it is so difficult to convince a mother not to tell her daughter to have an abortion.
So I finally got a little angry and said firmly, ¨A mom should take care of her family and what you are doing is pushing your daughter to do something she will regret forever! Forever!¨
Her eyes started to tear up, then she started crying and said, ¨Help me, help me please. I don´t know what I am doing.¨ So I talked for an hour with her after that and she finally decided to let her daughter keep the baby.

I used to see that sort of thing all the time. I know that sometimes these moms think they are helping their daughters, when they were in the same situation, and don't realize the message that sends. I thought parents pushing teen daughters in the door (sometimes literally) was hard to deal with for me.
