On the night flight from Atlanta to Detroit, I meet a woman who embodies many of the complexities of America’s abortion debate.
Sitting next to me on the two-hour journey north from the steamy bayous of Georgia to the industrial city on the Canadian border is Keysha, 24. Exhausted and burdened by bags and baby gear, she accepts my offer to help change her eight-week-old baby’s clothes during the flight.
We balance her little boy on the tray table, me supporting his head and Keysha tenderly pulling his tiny arms through the sleeves of his onesie.
And then, 36,000 feet above the dark Appalachian Mountains, Keysha makes an extraordinary and brave confession.
She tells me she was pressured by her boyfriend into having her son, Mason. She has ‘no life’ and no support.
‘I thought I really wanted a baby’, she tells me quietly in the dark confines of the night flight. But I really wish I’d waited.’
One day, her beautiful baby boy will grow up and perhaps learn the truth about his mother’s dilemma during her pregnancy. Maybe she will watch him thrive and come to change her mind about choosing to keep him.
Her decision to take me into her confidence (and give permission for her story to be told) seems desperately poignant at a time when the subject of abortion is once again tearing America apart.
In June, a decision by a conservative-leaning Supreme Court overruled the landmark Roe v Wade ruling of 1973, which enshrined the constitutional right to an abortion for American women.
The ‘pro-choice’ movement, which favours abortion rights, argues that the move erased almost half a century of women’s freedom overnight. Their ‘pro-life’ opponents, who believe life begins at conception, welcomed the move as a step that will save millions of ‘babies’

Nauseating all the way through.
Does Atlanta have “steamy bayous”?
It’s amazing how the word adoption never appears
Killing is the only option.
Disgusting. It’s murder. The worst phrase ever in the abortion debate is Pro-Life. It should be anti-murder. Anytime pro-choice is used it should immediately be corrected as pro-murder.
Its quite evident these people worship Moloch and child death.
“...Roe v Wade ruling of 1973, which enshrined the constitutional right to an abortion...”
The ‘conservative-leaning Supreme Court’ simply returned the decision on the legality of abortion to the states where it had been for the first two hundred years of the Republic.
Maybe the non-Landlocked Atlanta of Futurama ... before it sank.
The whole problem is that the left will not accept anyone below 1 year old as a human being. I have never heard of anyone referring to an unborn animal as a fetus or potential animal.
I suppose they think animals are above us.
Swamps. I don’t ever recall a bayou being in GA. It’s a Franco-English term, i.e., Cajun or Acadian. (See Louisiana)
I bet.
If this encounter even happened, I suspect Keysha is not her real name. That’s a lot of opening up to a total stranger, but it may be common when from one young lady to another young lady.
There was never a ‘constitutional right’ to an abortion. It was invented out of whole cloth by an activist court that was unconstitutionally usurping the delegated powers of Congress.
There are no bayous in Atlanta.
This story has nothing to do with abortion. She doesn’t say she accidentally got pregnant and she was forced to keep the baby. She gives us two stories. She said she was pressured by her boyfriend. But at the same time she said she thought she really wanted a child.
I get the impression it’s fiction, used to get our emotions to feel for this Mom.
No way, not buying it.
This article is nothing but a lie.
Fake.
Remember these people.
Demonic influence on earth is not a myth.
