So she went to schedule one but went to a pregnancy resource center on accident.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Abortion facilities will often <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/pressured-planned-parenthood-abortion-quota\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">pressure women to abort<\/a> or refuse to give them resources that might convince them to choose life. Women don&#8217;t seek out <a href=\"http:\/\/www.abortionprocedures.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">abortion<\/a> because they just cavalierly feel like getting one; they do it because they think they have no other option. And this is exactly why pregnancy resource centers are so important &#8212; because they provide women with options that abortion counselors will not.<\/p>\n<p>That was exactly the case for the mother of the young girl featured. &#8220;They said, \u2018We can help you. You can tell your mom it\u2019s going to be okay.\u2019 And she decided to have me,&#8221; she said. And while raising a baby at the age of 15 was undoubtedly difficult, it has not kept the young girl from seeing a bright future. &#8220;I\u2019m the first generation in my family to go to college,&#8221; she explained, and added that she hopes to give other women the same chance her mother was given. &#8220;I want to be an ultrasound tech so I can enable women to see images of their baby.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><center><iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"border: none; overflow: hidden;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/plugins\/post.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2FHumansofSTL%2Fphotos%2Fa.247021992169212%2F1147371998800869%2F%3Ftype%3D3&amp;width=500\" width=\"500\" height=\"522\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/center><strong>READ:<em>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/humans-new-york-father-special-needs\/\">\u2018Humans of New York\u2019 profiles father who refused abortion for son with special needs<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It appears from the now-edited Facebook post that the posting of the pro-life story caused quite the controversy, with Humans of St. Louis stating:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><em>&#8230; Like all the stories individuals share with us and allow to share with you, the hope is that the audience can use this as a platform for discussion and learning about each other.
