A few years ago, I was going through a difficult period in my life and had turned to drinking, drugs and promiscuous behavior to cope. A positive pregnancy test quickly shocked me back to reality, and I was terrified.

I also felt alone.

My boyfriend Anthony thought he wasn’t ready to be a father because his own father had abandoned him, and other male figures had let him down too many times.

What I needed to hear most during that time was “you can do this.” Instead, I was barraged with ads and advice implying abortion was the only solution to the child growing in my belly. Feeling like I didn’t have a choice, I wondered if I should abandon my previously pro-life beliefs.

Thankfully I didn’t have to.
