The abortion industry would have women believe that having children and achieving personal or professional success are incompatible. But a growing army of women believes that babies and dreams can, and do, go together. A perfect example is 31-year-old pro golfer Amy Olson, who competed at the US Women\u2019s Open in Pebble Beach, California earlier this month while seven months pregnant.<\/p>\n

According to Golfweek,<\/a> she was thrilled to bring her preborn baby along for the ride, saying \u201cThe fact that there will be two of us walking down the fairway together, that\u2019s pretty awesome.\u201d Poignantly, at the May 2023 qualifier in Minnesota, Olson\u2019s mom Twyla was her caddy. \u201cIt really was sweet to think about,” she told Golf Digest<\/a>. “Three generations walking down the fairway.\u201d<\/p>\n

To prepare for the Open, Olson drew on the wisdom of other female pro golfers who competed while pregnant. After learning she and husband Grant were expecting their first child, due in September, she texted fellow athletes<\/a>, and asked how far along they were when they stopped playing. She found that the cutoff point for most was between 28 and 30 weeks. Olson herself wound up competing in the Open at the beginning of her 31st week.<\/p>\n
