they're desperate and afraid

I know, I have been there. On another thread I wrote,

I did except Jesus Christ as my savior when I was 15 years old which was a life changing experience. It did not prevent me from becoming pregnant by an older man that I hardly knew at age 18. I had left home at age 16, and had a very tough life trying to make a living for myself, much less another. When I became pregnant many advised me to get rid of it. It was the most difficult time in my life. I was a regular church at tender. I had been preaching too many since I was 15, and now I looked like a hypocrite for sure. I had no one to take care of me. One night I contemplated suicide, but in my mind at that extremely low moment the reason I could not do it was that it was not just my life, but that child inside me. He had as much right to life as I. He is now a father of 4, and his first was also an accident. It changed the whole course of his ambitious life, but he too realized it was just not his life. He was my second most life changing experience, and I have never regretted it.

I have been there more than once, that was just my first pregnancy. My second happened accidently when I was first married to a man I was so in love with. He tried to force me to kill my son. It was the beginning of the end of my marriage.My son is much more important than any man who would want me to kill a baby. That was my 2nd of 4 unplanned pregnancies.

I also wrote on this forum that my step daughter recently aborted her baby after her boy friend and his parents preasured her. He left her right after and she had a nervous break down. Guess who she called for help first. Me, the most vocal pro-life person she knows. Her own mom had 3 abortions she would have understood. This girl came to me, we sent her money, bought her a car and got her with us. She really regrets it, she wants that baby.

Believe me, I have helped more woman who are pregnant than I can count. Its really wonderful to know children you have had apart in saving their life. Because of where I have been, I help alot of people. God has brought me into a place financially where I am able, but even when I had so little I did all I could. I believe all Christians should be doing this anyway. Faith, if it hath not works, is dead,.

I still say they were thinking of only themselves.

Which is perfectly fine, if that's what you think. I only corrected you because you implied that I had said it, and I don't think it's that simple.
