\"donanne\"As I\u2019ve been speaking out for life, I\u2019ve had multiple friends come forward to share their stories of tragedies and triumphs, and this particular testimony was one I felt needed to be shared. I remember Donanne being pregnant as a teen, but I never realized what a fight she faced. Now that I do, I\u2019m even more grateful to know her child than I was before. In her words, this is her story:<\/p>\n

\n

I was 15 when I got pregnant with Sean. I wasn\u2019t in a good relationship; his Dad liked to play a lot of mind games. I never thought I would put up with that from someone. But I did and it wasn\u2019t good. So when I actually found out I was pregnant I had just turned 16. He told me to get an abortion and I was so scared. I thought I would never even look at doing that\u2026 but I did.<\/p>\n

I went to Planned Parenthood.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

I didn\u2019t even need my parents permission to get the abortion. I was crying and so scared. I remember sitting in there thinking, \u201cWhy are you here? This is not ok.\u201d<\/p>\n

At that minute they called me back. I got up and followed the lady back still crying. She told me it would be ok, they just needed to get a picture to see how far along I was. So I laid on the table and she started an ultrasound, making sure I could not see the screen. I asked if I could see it and she said \u201cNo, it would be better for [you]\u00a0not to.”<\/p>\n

At that point I was crying even more and I started to pray.<\/p>\n

All of a sudden time stopped and God was telling me to get up and leave and that everything would be ok. So I did.<\/p>\n

I told her that this was crazy and I wasn\u2019t going to kill my baby. She looked at me like I was the crazy one. I then grabbed my stuff and I left.<\/p>\n

Over the next few months it wasn\u2019t easy. Lots of things happened. People that I thought were friends talked about me and it hurt. It was so hard to go to school but I did every day till I was told I had to stay off my feet.<\/p>\n

And I cried more then I think I have ever.<\/p>\n

But May 10th 2002. I was blessed with a bright eyed 8lbs 5oz baby boy. I had been falling behind in school before and having him made me focus. In 2004 I graduated with all my friends with all A\u2019s and B\u2019s.<\/p>\n

Without God giving me this baby I don\u2019t know if that would have happened; I was going down a bad dark road.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

I\u2019m so pleased to say that Donanne and her son, along with her three\u00a0other children and husband are all doing well. What courage and strength it takes to say no. Donanne made mistakes and wasn\u2019t perfect, but she took what came from those actions as a reason to change. Sean saved her life, and by getting off of that table, Donanne saved his.\"image\"<\/p>\n

It\u2019s so important that we realize how afraid and confused women are when they seek abortion. Not every woman is out to kill her baby; many are simply terrified.<\/p>\n

We must also realize what the staff of that Planned Parenthood\u00a0were doing to Donanne:\u00a0manipulating her by not letting her see what her baby looked like. Abortion facilities\u00a0know that women who see their ultrasounds are far more likely to choose life over abortion. They see that who they are terminating is in fact a human baby and that\u2019s why they didn\u2019t want Donanne to see. That\u2019s why they don\u2019t let any mother see.<\/p>\n

Thank God Donanne saw that tactic and recognized what they were trying to achieve with it.\u00a0Unfortunately, not every woman does what Donanne did by leaving.\u00a0Most of the time when a woman walks into the room, the abortion facility\u2019s manipulation wins out.<\/p>\n

\"DefundAd-400b\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We need to educate people on ultrasound and encourage every woman considering abortion to seek an ultrasound first. We can\u2019t let this manipulation continue.<\/p>\n

Donanne\u2019s experience is a perfect example of\u00a0how choosing life is worth it.\u00a0If Donanne can do it at 16, graduate from high school, and live a full life while letting her child live a full life as well, so can all the young women out there.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t let fear motivate you.\u00a0Don\u2019t let people\u2019s whispers put you down. Carry your child because it\u2019s the right thing to do and you and your child will both see a happy ending.\u00a0Be brave like Donanne. There is something so beautiful about a woman who chooses bravery over fear and triumph over tragedy\u00a0– and we all have that beauty in us. We just have to find it and be willing to show it like Donanne did.<\/p>\n

We all can be strong and courageous. We can all choose to let our children live.<\/p>\n
