LifeSiteNews: Ashley was 20 years old and in love. So when she found out that she was pregnant, she was surprised but took her boyfriend at his word when he said he would take care of her and a baby if she ever became pregnant, after pressing her to become more intimate in their relationship.
She was crushed when he insisted that she get an abortion. She was raised in a Christian home with supportive parents, and even though she knew her parents would be disappointed that she had become pregnant, she knew she could get through it with the promised support of her boyfriend.
But when he gave her the money for the abortion and said that he would not be able to get off work to go with her, she felt like she had been punched in the gut. He convinced her that having a baby now would squelch her dream of nursing school, that her Christian parents would kick her out and that he was not about to support a baby that he wasn’t ready for. She felt she had no choice. So she went to the abortion clinic. Full story is here.
