I have to respond to this. I am speaking from experience here. My daughter became a 17 year old unwed teenage mother. Even though she had been taught the truth regarding abortion and the lie regarding the "fetus", she too in a panicked moment thought abortion was the answer. After all, this allowed her to "solve" the problem quickly.

I had to rely on what I had taught her and pray to the Lord that he would change her heart and trust what she knew was right. I stood by her and knew it was not my decision to make for her.

After a lot of painfully daunting days and countless sleepless nights, she in the end made the right choice without pressure from me or her father.

I thank god for my granddaughter and her mother decision to keep her even though it was the hardest choice to make.

In the end, an adult has to make decisions after guidance and prayer of their parents. At age twenty it is more than time to let them rely on the input they have been given.

Trying to control a grownup is a big mistake. It is also a mistake to even think it is possible in the long run.

Blessings come out of all things. My grandbaby is the biggest blessing in the world to me, but more importantly she has become even more of one to my daughter. She is in fact the best thing that ever happened to her.

Having a child young seems to be a real help for many women and men as far as making them responsible adults...Lord knows I have had a child and still act like one, but my friends who'd had kids grew up real fast and are or will become civil leaders.
