When my wife got pregnant unexpectedly, we were young (20) had no real income yet and no issurance. We went to a number of places to ask for some practical advice. When we told them we wanted the baby, they were dumbfounded and didn't know how to react. Basically it was, 'what are you here for then?' Well we need parenting advice. You are planned PARENTHOOD right? Were trying to plan our parenting.

When it was all said an done the basic push they were telling us was to quit the modest jobs we had and then they could help us and have everything covered by welfare. Or we can keep our jobs and spend all our money on hospital bills. Which were a lot because of some complications.

That's the system. We only know how to abort, and if you are poor you are encouraged to get poorer so you can apply for assistance. Nice huh? Well we worked our way up and scrapped as best we could and survived just fine. No thanks to anyone parrenting counselors.

This is my daughter Allison (Queen Nosilla). She was conceived at a very inopportune time. She almost became an abortion. Thanks God that didn't happen.
