Kathy-
Bless your heart!!!! I was so glad that someone had enough heart to make
that woman feel welcome! I hope that everyone realizes that the choice
of abortion is never the first one! This web site is a God-send to those
people who have questions but do not want to ask anyone because they are
embarrassed or ashamed, I hope we are able to continue asking those
intimate questions without feeling that we will be pushed away.
Thanks!
