Teen Mom Expresses Sincere Gratitude for the Pro-Life Pregnancy Center That Helped Her Choose Life

Ashley Sadler : Jun 16, 2023  LifeSiteNews.com

"After speaking with the thoughtful, compassionate female staff at PFCC, I was given a complete list of all of my options, in addition to more information about the abortion procedure itself." ... [I] "realized I couldn't put my child through such a horrific event, and I knew in my heart that I'd never cope with the regret that, tragically, so many post-abortive women feel ... The women there became my mentors, my friends, and my family." -Anonymous woman and author of the article on The Federalist

"I never dreamed I could be surrounded by the warm love and happiness I experience today," wrote the young woman, who said she had become pregnant to her "utter dismay" at just 15 years old.

"If someone had told me just four short years ago that my life would be marked by more blessings than I could count, I would have looked at them with complete incredulity," she said.

The writer said that "[g]etting an abortion was my immediate decision" after she discovered she was pregnant. The oldest of four children in a family with a drug-addicted mother, the young woman said she "could barely take care of myself let alone my three younger siblings."

"The mere thought of bringing a new life into this messy situation at my age was more than I could bear—or so I thought," she wrote.

That's when a high school teacher recommended she reach out to the Leesburg, Florida Pregnancy and Family Care Center (PFCC), part of the Christian Care Center affiliated with the Leesburg First Baptist Church.

PFCC provides ultrasounds for women considering abortion "to help mothers see the miracle of the life entrusted to their care and to consider the consequences of their decision." Mothers who choose to keep their babies are provided with a full range of support "including adoption planning or childbirth and parenting education," while those who get abortions "are offered support through post-abortive counseling."

"After speaking with the thoughtful, compassionate female staff at PFCC, I was given a complete list of all of my options, in addition to more information about the abortion procedure itself," the teen mom said in her Tuesday article. She recalled that she "realized I couldn't put my child through such a horrific event, and I knew in my heart that I'd never cope with the regret that, tragically, so many post-abortive women feel."

Confronted with the brutal reality of abortion, she said she "decided to keep my child, which gave me great peace, even though I knew it would be hard to care for another little one ... "

A horror of abortion and the determination to keep her baby weren't the only things she received through her connection with the pro-life ministry.

While pro-abortion activists claim that pro-life resource centers are "fake" and "dangerous" because they don't promote abortion, the young woman said her resource center showered her with "more free resources than I could imagine, ranging from ultrasounds to diapers, car seats, baby clothing and food, transportation, hygiene products."

The teen, who had been raised in a trailer without electricity, said she was even given "new clothes for me to wear at school—something I never had growing up."

And the resource center had more to give than diapers, food, and clothes.

"The women there became my mentors, my friends, and my family," the anonymous teen mom said. "Most importantly, they helped me to discover a real relationship with Jesus Christ, accepting Him into my heart forever and then following the Lord through baptism."

The writer of the article said the pregnancy resource center provided her with "a devoted support system, and a firm foundation to raise my child upon"... Subscribe for free to Breaking Christian News here
