Undecided

When a girl comes in to one of our offices and is undecided on what to do with the pregnancy that almost always means that she is unsure whether to keep or abort the baby. And that very scenario is what I was expecting when one nineteen year-old walked in the other day, telling me she was undecided.

Much to my surprise however, the indecision had to deal with whether or not she should keep her child or place him or her for adoption. Already a very mature young adult, she realized many things that may seem obvious (if that's the right word) to others, especially in the pro-life movement - like how an adoption would clearly benefit the child more than an abortion, and that an abortion isn't the easiest thing to go through from a physical or emotional standpoint.


"How can they see what they're doing? What if they miss something? What kind of doctor would do something like this?"


All very good questions. It takes a strong person amidst a crisis pregnancy to think clearly, and this girl was one of them.
