June 16th, I found out I was pregnant. At first, I was a little happy, sad, and confused all in one. I was nervous. It was exactly 2 weeks before my 20th birthday. I told my boyfriend. We both came to the conclusion that neither one of us were ready to be parents. I was 6 weeks and 6 days along. So June 26th, I was scheduled to get started the first part of the procedure. (It was 2 parts: I did the abortion pill). As I was sitting in the room talking to the doctor, all I could hear was my baby saying “Mommy, don’t do it” or maybe it was my conscience. Either way, I didn’t listen to it and I swallowed the pill. I so regret doing that. I swear I wanted to get up and run out of there and keep the seed that I had in me. The next day when I took the 2nd n final pill… That was the worst pain I had ever been in, both physically and emotionally. The mere thought of flushing MY baby down the toilet hurt so much. It’s been 17 days since the procedure and I feel so low right now. This is by far the lowest I have ever felt. This is not how I planned on spending my summer, all down and depressed. And the worst part about it is that my boyfriend isn’t even here to console me. Neither was he there on the day of the procedure or the next day. And that just makes it so much worse because I feel like I’m alone right now and I hate feeling this way. Every day, I think about the decision I made and I regret it from the bottom of my heart. On 6/27, my baby went to heaven. #abortion #abortionregret #pregnancy #unplannedpregnancy

“I didn’t want to [abort]. I didn’t want to be one to repeat that in my family. They are like chains from women in my family passed down from my mother’s side.” “No quería [el aborto]. No quería repetir eso de nuevo. Es como que son cadenas de familia de mujeres de mi. De parte materna. Es como una cadena.” Watch now and don’t forget to turn on subtitles, available in English and Spanish: youtu.be/XrZu9xT130c

Vicki from California shares her testimony of her abortions and giving up one of her babies for adoption and how it led to depression and difficult relationships, until God used a bible study for her healing so she can lead many others to the same freedom.

Hello everyone. I want to talk about my almost-over pregnancy. Me and my boyfriend (now fiancé) have been through a lot. I have loved him since I was 13 and he didn’t know. When I had my first boyfriend at 14, I loved him, but it wasn’t the same. It was like I was making up for my now fiancé. One night in September, me and my boyfriend were in a car accident. He’d just given me a necklace and I had given him a kiss on the cheek, distracting him. We accidentally ran through a red light and got hit. I woke up at the hospital, 4 days later, and everyone was there, but the first face I saw was my current boyfriend. He was talking to me alone and I woke up then he kissed me. Then I demanded to know what had happened to my first boyfriend and he sadly told me that he didn’t make it. Worse for me, I had missed his funeral. 5 months later, I was 15, but still so sad. I lost weight and stopped talking to people. Then my current boyfriend pulled me out of the darkness and helped me through my depression. 2 months after that, he asked me out and we have been going out ever since but it didn’t end there. He accidentally got run over and was hurt kinda bad, but he pulled through thankfully. Last year, we slept together, but I didn’t know he didn’t wear protection! A few weeks later, I started feeling really weird and kind of sick and I had missed a period. Scared, I looked up pregnancy symptoms. They matched mine exactly. So I bought 3 tests. I asked him to come over to do them with me when my family was out and they were all positive. My first reaction was what have I done? I was only 17 and I was going to be a mum! The second I knew, I knew what I was going to do. Abortion wasn’t an option ever. I would never kill my child. It wasn’t its fault it wasn’t planned. I told him that and he agreed. He asked about adoption and I said maybe. My siblings tortured me about being adopted even though I wasn’t. I felt terrible and there was no way I was going to do that to an innocent child. We got an appointment and I was only a few weeks along, just under a month. We were so scared as three months went by and found out we were expecting….a girl! As soon as I saw that heartbeat again and found out I was having a daughter, I knew we were going to keep her. Now we had to tell our parents. We went to his first and his mum was a little disappointed, but said she would support us. But his dad went nuts saying, I should get rid of it. When I said I wouldn’t, he said I was selfish because I was ruining his son’s life and if I kept it ( he didn’t know it was a girl), I would ruin its life as well. I ran out crying but my boyfriend told me that he loved me and that his dad’s opinion didn’t matter. When we told my parents, my mum was sad and my dad kicked me out, saying he would not see me if I didn’t give up my baby. I lived in his house until we got a flat, which we did, and then we still went to church despite our parents being there. I loved this baby, but I hated all the stares and comments, but my youth group supported me. We have a two-bedroom apartment and the entire nursery is yellow with like white and pink flowers on the ceiling. My parents helped out with money. We don’t know what to name our daughter. Some suggestions would be nice. When I was five and a half months along, we were asked to perform at a wedding, just the two of us plus some back up singers. And since I love the tv show Glee, we copied them and sung Marry You. We were dancing around (not too much for me), but I didn’t know he had a hidden agenda. At the end of the song, in front of a lot of people, he proposed and I said….YES!!!! I have a yellow and clear sparkler on my wedding finger now. I am now 7 and a half months along and I cant wait to see our gorgeous baby girl. I need names that are graceful like Grace and Charlotte. I will keep you all posted! #standupgirl #unplannedpregnancy #unplannedparenthood #pregnancy

IN THE FUTURE WORLD, IMMORTALITY IS NO LONGER A MYTH .🍿🎬

I never thought I would be in this position. 15, almost 16, and pregnant? On November 5th, I went to my doctor and I was there for 2 hours because they were waiting for a urine sample. When I still couldn’t go, they took a blood test. Later that day, I called for my results. I remember the doctor saying “It came out positive” and I threw the phone and flipped. My mom and boyfriend calmed me down. I had 3 options 1. Abortion 2. Have it and give it up for adoption 3. Have it and keep it unless I had a miscarriage I chose option 3, which I suppose is selfish of me. What 15-year-old can take care of a baby, a 15-year-old that comes from a poor family? But I want to have it. I still feel alone and scared a lot, but my family is here, supporting me. And my boyfriend of 5 months is staying and helping. When I say staying, I mean he lives with me and doesn’t plan on taking off. I went in for an internal ultrasound 2 weeks ago on Nov. 15 and found I was 7 weeks and 4 days pregnant. They said the baby looked healthy. I’m scared, but excited. #pregnancy #unplannedpregnancy #unplannedparenthood #standupgirl

Dorothy Day had an abortion in her youth, before her conversion to Catholicism. And even though she clearly went to confession with this, she was still thinking of it in her 70s. She was still grappling with God’s mercy. | @kathrynlopez nationalreview.com/corner/dorothy…

She chose her baby over everyone’s opinion 💪 From pressure to pure love… Maddie’s story hits different 😭

In 2021, a young woman named “Julie” reached out to us in a moment of uncertainty. Terrified that her parents would kick her out, and feeling it was impossible to raise a baby alone, she scheduled an appointment for abortion pills. But while she was at the clinic, an employee told Julie about Let Them Live. Her mind was pretty much set on abortion, but she wanted to review all her options before going through with it. We offered Julie financial assistance, and it was when she saw her baby on the ultrasound and heard his heartbeat that she chose life. Today, her son Marcus is four years old. Julie recently shared this beautiful update: “I'm truly grateful for all that LTL has done for my son and me. My baby boy brings me so much joy and I am forever happy to experience his love, joy, and personality. While I was worried about my parents kicking me out because of my pregnancy, they have fully loved the both of us and continue to be supportive, especially during this economy. He is obsessed with his papa and is loved by my whole family. I'm so happy I heard about LTL and get to experience the chapter of motherhood with my mini-me.”

Single Mom Who Rejected Abortion Graduates From Pharmacy School buff.ly/oCAUiiL

I finally made my choice. I am going to give my baby up for adoption. I know it’s going to be hard, but I know that if I love this baby, then I can do this for them because I know that I can’t take care of it. I know that the choice I am going to make is going to be hard, but I have to do it not for me but it because I will not be able to take care of it. It will be hard if it’s a girl because I’ve always wanted a baby girl. Thanks for reading! #pregnancy #unplannedpregnancy #unplannedparenthood #adoption #standupgirl
