Adoption plans ends in abortion: Justine's story....

Some friend. Some counseling.  You cannot argue with a testimony and this is hers. Story of a young unmarried college student who when faced with a crisis pregnancy decided to make an adoption plan for her child.

Pregnant and unmarried, Kyker had gone to a family doctor, talked at length, and looked at photos of couples hoping to adopt. “That was my plan: to place the baby for adoption,” she said. At the advice of one friend, she decided to call this Planned Parenthood clinic first.
On the phone, a Planned Parenthood staff member asked Kyker how far along she was. She didn’t know, but guessed three months, and said so. Kyker said she was told to come in right away and bring $200 cash.
She had a plan for her crisis pregnancy  that did not end in death. Instead she followed the advice of a PP employee, cashed in her textbooks and went for the abortion. Her experience was terrible and the concern from PP ended after they got the money.


Later in life she had problems with her pregnancies including a "including a placental abruption, an ectopic pregnancy, and a premature labor—are potentially after-effects of her teenaged decision."


I wonder what the "friend" thinks today of her advice. This brave lady is telling her story because it needs to be told. 
You will never regret giving birth to your child,” Kyker insisted. “You will always regret an abortion.”
