Voices of Courage
‘My Choice, My Story’ is a compassionate platform that shines a rare and vulnerable light on women who feel compelled to share their stories of unexpected pregnancy. It is a place where women who are currently facing a pregnancy decision or have made one in the past, can find tangible resources and support. The women in these videos want to share their stories to help those who may be feeling isolated or alone.
*All of these videos are unscripted and represent what each woman wanted to share.
“If someone were to tell me back then what I know now…I don’t think I would’ve gone through with the abortion.”
“Don’t listen to other people’s opinions. They’re not gonna go through the struggles and the heartache and the disappointment of what you’re gonna have to feel.”
“I remember sitting in the waiting room. I don’t remember an ultrasound. I don’t remember being given any options. I don’t remember anyone even asking me if I wanted to do this, if I had thought it through.”
“It doesn’t have to be the end of the line because you’re pregnant. There can be more to life, and that little life can give you more.”
“I was 14 years old…I knew I had missed my period and someone else told me they thought I was pregnant.”
“I have a one-year-old son…he’s like the best part of my day, so when I pick him up it’s like happiness in my heart. They say that children come into our lives for a reason, and I believe it’s true.”
“I was 18, failed out of my first year of college, was at home…not one person asked, what do you want to do?”
“I’ve been through a lot of things in my life and time does heal wounds, but with the wound of abortion if anything, it gets a little harder.”
“It was back in the 70’s. The burden one carries, that you think will go away, is a deep hurt inside your heart.”
If you just found out you are pregnant, you have time to decide and explore your options. It’s important for you to process your unique circumstances and receive accurate medical education and compassionate care as you are faced with making a life-altering decision.
