My son impregnated his girlfriend when they were both 21. They had pretty much broken up by the time she found out, and she was scheduled to have an abortion at 9 weeks' gestation.

My son is pro-life, however, and he told her if she had the abortion, he would never talk to her again. So she decided to give the baby up for adoption instead. But when we went for her first ultrasound and she saw her daughter move, she decided to keep her.

Teegan will be 3 in 2 weeks. She's gorgeous, smart, funny, loving, and adorable. Her mother is still in love with her father but he does not love her, so they live apart. It's difficult but it sure beats the alternative.

Teegan comes over to her Daddy's house every weekend (he is living at home temporarily so it's really Grandma's and Papa's house), so her Daddy is very much involved in her life. She is incredibly lucky to have a family who adores her, and to have life.

Congratulation!
It isn't an "ideal" situation, but it certainly does beat the alternative.

If the mother never had that change of heart, she too could have said someday "my life is better now because of abortion" - But that is only because she never would have experienced the joy and love of little Teegan.

Thank you for that testimony. It shows that the "evil guy forces girl to have abortion" meme is not the rule.
