But why would it be too difficult?<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-35953\" src=\"https:\/\/www.liveactionnews.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/online-for-life1.jpg\" alt=\"online-for-life\" width=\"237\" height=\"184\" \/>Abortion advocates will say the mother can\u2019t support her child, can\u2019t work and raise a child, can\u2019t go to school and raise a child, can\u2019t raise a child on her own, or she can\u2019t raise a child with special needs because of the challenges. The reasons all focus on why the mother isn\u2019t seen as good enough. Abortion clinic\u00a0counselors\u00a0will gladly tell mothers that they aren\u2019t strong enough, and of course, the mothers, emotionally drained from learning of an unexpected pregnancy or unexpected prenatal diagnosis, are feeling insecure and doubting their own strengths and abilities. These abortion providers take advantage of that and benefit from it.<\/p>\n<p>One way crisis pregnancy centers stand apart from abortion clinics is that they actually believe in women. They will help women and families reach their goals and give life to their children. And that\u2019s a beautiful thing.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>DeAnn was a young, single mother who had uprooted her life after Hurricane Katrina. Starting over and attending school across the country, she discovered she was pregnant. Confident that the baby\u2019s father loved her, she was shocked when he abandoned her and their child.<\/p>\n<p>Click the image below to watch her story:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/onlineforlife.org\/story\/deanns-life-decision-story\/\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-68767 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.liveactionnews.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/Screen-Shot-2015-07-31-at-1.29.37-AM.png\" alt=\"Screen Shot 2015-07-31 at 1.29.37 AM\" width=\"766\" height=\"431\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cOnce I did tell him that I was pregnant, it was like devastating for him to not accept it, you know, and then it devastated me to be alone again.

DeAnn was introduced to the team at a pregnancy medical center who lifted her spirits and encouraged her.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s funny, because when I called the number it was like the lady knew me, you know, it was like God had her sitting on the other end waiting for me. [\u2026] All of my friends that knew me was telling me what I can\u2019t do\u2026 but this lady that I didn\u2019t even know, she was just rooting me on and telling me everything I could do,\u201d said DeAnn. \u201cYou can still accomplish your dreams. You just have to work harder. It\u2019s not the end of the world. It\u2019s not the end of my life. It\u2019s not like I can\u2019t accomplish my dreams being pregnant and a single mom.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>After visiting with the center staff, DeAnn confidently chose life for her son, a decision she is glad she made.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat little soul. That little face. Those little eyes&#8230;\u00a0they look at you, or just to know that that\u2019s my son. That I chose life,\u201d said DeAnn. \u201cAnd he\u2019s here. It was a long journey but we made it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Without the positive reinforcement, guidance and support of pregnancy centers, women like DeAnn would be living their lives with regret over abortion instead of celebrating the lives of their children.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Women justify abortion for a variety of reasons, but among the most common reason has to do with how having their child will be too difficult.
