(1,805 posts)This was not that many years ago. My daughter went to a place (supposedly to help pregnant girls) to find out if she was pregnant, she was only 16. They made her wait with some some song and dance and in the interim showed her disgusting movies with deformed fetuses, bleeding to death women, the whole nine. And all this w/o having a parent's permission. He's a wonderful, handsome, bright biracial kid as it turned out. They were adamant about wanting to place him with a lily white family just 10 miles from us. They took us to lunch (as if we had any appetite) and pressured us to no end - really hard core.
Thanks to mother nature, my daughter burst into tears on the way home and said she couldn't do it. Then I started crying, I was so thankful. I still am. Of course he never knew this and never will. I had promised to back her 100% with whatever decision she made. It was far too late for an abortion thankfully - she wouldn't anyway. Not against other's who would, just her belief. She had friends whose families literally piled the pregnant daughter's belongings on the front porch and said they never wanted to see the poor girls again.
I asked her why she didn't tell me as I had told her I would gladly get her pills and she said she didn't because they "make you fat."
Ignorant assholes - the place and the other parents. Jennifer aka Mimi
