Raised in a Catholic family, she had always been pro-life and would never have considered an abortion. But now that she was pregnant and facing pressure from her boyfriend to resort to abortion, her convictions weren\u2019t nearly as powerful as the anxiety all around her.<\/p>\n<p>Amid the stress of her situation, Kelsey reluctantly checked out Planned Parenthood\u2019s website to price out an abortion. As she looked online, however, Kelsey stumbled upon\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.supportmyprc.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Pregnancy Resource Center of Rolla\u2019s<\/strong><\/a>advertisement for free pregnancy tests and free ultrasounds.<\/p>\n<p>She reached out, and the next day, she was in their office\u2014halfway between St. Louis and Springfield, Mo.\u2014and speaking to a peer consultant named Pam.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI still remember vividly my first appointment at PRC with Pam,\u201d Kelsey recalled in a recent speech at PRC of Rolla\u2019s banquet on campus at Missouri University of Science and Technology. \u201cWe\u2019d made it through her list of questions\u2014barely, from the amount of crying I was doing on my part\u2014and I took a pregnancy test which, of course, came back positive. When speaking about my options, I remember telling her there was no way I could take care of a baby. I was still in college and had so many opportunities ahead of me.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis wasn\u2019t supposed to happen to me. My parents had raised me in a manner so that I didn\u2019t end up pregnant at 21 like my mom had been with me, and here I was pregnant at 21. Honestly, at that moment I felt like a failure.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_176641\" style=\"width: 710px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-176641\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-large wp-image-176641\" src=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Kelsey-and-her-twin-girls-at-birth.-Kelsey-refused-abortion-for-her-girls-with-help-from-a-pregnancy-help-center.-700x525.jpg\" alt=\"Kelsey and her twin girls at birth.

At the same time, however, Kelsey felt instinctively that she would ever be able to live with herself if she did have an abortion.<\/p>\n<p>Pam told her to take her time and think over her options\u2014including placing her child into the arms of an adoptive family\u2014until after she received her first ultrasound.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Love at First Sight<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>After continuing to research abortion, Kelsey returned to PRC of Rolla for her free ultrasound. During the ultrasound, the center\u2019s client services director, Jane Dalton, pointed at the screen to ask Kelsey if she knew what she was looking at.<\/p>\n<p>To Kelsey\u2019s surprise, she was pregnant with twins.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAt that very moment I\u2019m pretty sure my heart stopped, my jaw dropped to the floor, and my eyes got as big as they could,\u201d Kelsey said. \u201cI was freaking out about just one baby and now my worries had doubled.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While Kelsey tried not to panic, Jane and Pam reassured her, telling her that her family was going to be thrilled she was having twins. Still in shock, Kelsey remembers one remarkable moment from that appointment: hearing the babies\u2019 heartbeats for the very first time.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was an indescribable moment for me,\u201d Kelsey said. \u201cI believe it was the moment I unconsciously decided I could never get an abortion.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kelsey continued to return to PRC of Rolla for ultrasounds and with each appointment, she became more and more excited about her pregnancy and twin babies. Pam sent text messages to check on Kelsey in between appointment\u2014something Kelsey said let her know that someone was there for her when she felt no one else was.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_176640\" style=\"width: 385px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-176640\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-176640 \" src=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Kelsey-and-her-twin-girls-in-super-hero-outfits.-The-girls-are-alive-today-thanks-to-a-pregnancy-resource-center..jpg\" alt=\"Kelsey and her twin girls in super hero outfits.

Without that coaching Kelsey would not have continued to come back to us and I honestly believe those babies could have been lost to abortion.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>By 15 weeks gestation, Kelsey was ready to tell her parents and sister the news of her pregnancy\u2014overcoming her long-held fear of disappointing them. When it came time for the 20-week ultrasound at her OB-GYN, her mother and sister were both there with her to learn that both twins were girls.<\/p>\n<p>On Nov. 4, 2016, Kelsey gave birth to Izabella and Brielle.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was in love from the moment I laid eyes on both of them,\u201d she said. \u201cThey are such a blessing in my life and bring so much joy to myself and the rest of my family. I thank God often for my girls and for PRC who saved me and my pregnancy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Overcoming the Big Lie<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>All told, Kelsey only took a week off school, before heading back to class following Thanksgiving break. She\u2019s planning to graduate on schedule in December.<\/p>\n<p>For Joe Dalton, the center\u2019s executive director (and husband to Jane), Kelsey\u2019s story is a prime example of the abortion industry\u2019s common lie that a woman must choose between her child\u2019s life and her own success.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s a lie that Planned Parenthood has pushed out there forever,\u201d said Dalton, who\u2019s seen over 2,300 mothers choose life since he helped start the center in 2007. \u201cShe bought it hook, line, and sinker.
