When she called that morning, even though it felt as if the world around her was crashing down, her soft-spoken words and kind demeanor echoed through the phone. This sweet gal, who sounded as if she couldn’t hurt a fly was now, out of what she thought was love, thinking of aborting her beloved baby simply because she had been misinformed. *Jessi timidly said, “I wouldn’t normally even be considering abortion, but I didn’t realize I was pregnant and I’m further along than I thought. I’m a bit of a partier and I’m worried I hurt my baby”.
Jessi came to LaVie showing that same sweet demeanor, but on the inside, she was riddled with worry. She openly shared with the nurse about the party lifestyle she led before she knew she was pregnant. She shared how her boyfriend does not want any more children and the clinic she went to before LaVie told her she probably caused harm to her baby and should have an abortion for that reason. This sweet, loving lady who would normally never be considering ending her baby’s life was now misinformed, not being supported by her boyfriend and scared to death. Because she was being misguided and unsupported, what normally would be the furthest from her mind now had her thinking an abortion was “what was best” for her baby. Only the enemy can take an act so evil, twist it around and make it seem like it’s the loving, wise and smart thing to do, when that couldn’t be further from the truth. The Truth – that is what LaVie upholds.
Jessi heard the truth about her pregnancy that day in the information and resources the nurse offered her.
Jessi saw the truth that day, her baby’s heartbeat, strong and steady. Such a precious little one, measuring right around the size of a kernel of corn yet with its own unique heart print.
Jessi chose truth that day!
