Two Stories of Two Women Who Chose Life.

The first story is about a woman named Sabrina. She was young (sixteen years old) and confused but happy when she learned that she was a mother. But she went she went to Planned Parenthood to get her pregnancy tests she felt like her questions about her pregnancy were not welcomed. The Planned Parenthood employees asked Sabrina what she planned to do and she told them that she wasn't sure.They treated her like a waste of time."They are 100% in the baby killing business and push it on you very much," she said. However, Sabrina was a bit luckier with supportive parents that definitely helped her. It was still not easy as a young mom but nothing as worldly money struggles and hard times could compare to the love she had for her daughter who is now twenty-four and a mother herself. One thing Sabrina mentioned to me was that she always thought about abortion as just a choice before. She had just listened to what everyone said about it without acknowledging what it actually was herself."I believe many girls are deceived into abortions." Sabrina told me. She now volunteers at Birthright international that helps get women supplies for pregnancies, referrals for adoption centers, how to get their GED and etc.  Most importantly, Sabrina does not regret choosing life.
The second story is about a Brazilian woman who is in Sweden whose name is Pamela. At the time Pamela was dating a so called "Christian" man. Pamela became pregnant with his child and he immediately started pushing her towards abortion.  He even booked her an appointment against her will, but she trusted him so she went.  When she got in the abortion clinic she couldn't stop crying. She couldn't even speak with the nurses. A nurse told her she had to speak with a curator whom she could barely speak to because she was so upset. All she could really get past her lips was that she didn't want an abortion. But Pamela also thought about what it would be like having a child with a man who did not want one. She could see, as Sabrina did, how woman are pressured into abortion.
A nurse gave Pamela the abortion pill and whispered to her "If you don't want to do it, then don't." 
Pamela did not take the pills when she got home. Instead she prayed. She wasn't religious at the time, but at that time she prayed. Then Pamela didn't care if she was rejected or affected. She didn't care if the father of her child would be there, she just knew she was keeping her baby. It was tough and there is no adoption in Sweden even if Pamela wanted to place her child with another family.
But most importantly, Pamela does not regret choosing life.
