I came to Birthright wanting an abortion. I was so set on abortion that I didn’t pay attention to what Birthright did and did not do. I [...] called from my car and asked “can I come in now?” The woman said “yes”. I was 39 years old and distraught. I had 2 children. I just finished my Masters and I didn’t even want my new boyfriend to know about this. I couldn’t have this baby. I didn’t want to give him the chance of telling me to get rid of it. I wasn’t going to be the one who gets abandoned again. I walked in Birthright’s door. The counselor came out and was really sweet. I told her I think I’m at the wrong place. I told her I’m here for an abortion and she told me they didn’t do abortions. My stomach was so upset [...] I got sick and she gave me a can of 7-Up to drink. She [...] asked me to sit down and talk. We talked for two hours. She didn’t judge me or tell me what she thought I should do. We talked a lot about decision making in a crisis and listening to your heart instead of your head. I liked her because she helped me see how strong I was… I decided to have my baby girl. I met with my counselor every couple of weeks. We were working on a plan and I needed her support. I found a job in my field and Birthright paid for me to get a certification I needed. They also helped with some bills when my doctor put me on bedrest. I know if I hadn’t gone to what I thought was the wrong place, my beautiful girl wouldn’t be here.
