Re: Step one - Jean-Carol
It's very easy to just say it's wrong, they need to realize how scary it is for some of these girls. Abortion is the easy way out for them, you just can't say don't do it without offering and providing them options. I took in a pregnant teen who couldn't decide what to do. I took her to Catholic Social Services thinking of course they would help. All they would offer her was a loan for medical bills. I then went to Jewish Social Services and they were amazing, they took care of all the medical bills, provided housing, had counseling sessions weekly. They even place the girls in homes that have adopted children so they can feel a little bit more at ease when they hand their baby over to a different family. I wish they had these programs for all the woman who are juggling with what choice to make. It is an extremely difficult decision a woman has to make and live with and she shouldn't be bullied or shamed with whatever decision she makes. You have to provide real options, not just damn them
