>Dear Michelle-I thank you for responding to my inquiry. I am besides myself with worry and heartache for my daughter and her future. I am also so angry with these so called Right-To-Lifers, going under the guise of "helping" young, naieve girls. They have promised her the MOON! They told her she can move out and move into a home where she can live indefinitly with her baby. They have promised her that she can go on to college next year, as was planned, and it will all be paid for!!! They will take care of her baby while she does this, and even if she wants to work part time. I have called and spoken to these people, and they started dancing on the phone-suddenly things were not quite so set in stone-but they were sure to tell me that they would let the love of Jesus Christ shine in her life. I am a fairly religious person, but I also believe in a woman's right to choose-and certainly I don't believe that any group should be able to manipulate their beliefs by frightening someone who is in such turmoil to start with. I cannot believe that Jesus would want that. If only she had gotten to me before them. I am also a registered nurse, and although this is not my specialty area, I was sure that this was not true-about an embryo feeling pain, but to be honest, I was not sure. Even if that is the case, I would imagine it would be very rudimentary. Besides-my daughter is my baby, and my thoughts are with her and her well-being. I am just glad to get this off of my chest. Please, say a prayer for us-whatever her decision, because I am not going to lose my daughter over this-so I will support her in anything that she choose-and keep her at home with me. But, she really has no idea what this will entail-raising a child at 18-and on her own, as her boyfirend does not want any part of this. Thanks again.
