Unplanned Teen Pregnancies Happen Even During A Worldwide Pandemic…
The COVID-19 pandemic has been an isolating experience for everyone. If you’re a teenager and you discover you’re unexpectedly pregnant during this time, you may feel more scared and alone than ever. But it’s important to know that you are not alone. Teenagers get pregnant every year—that is a fact. Unplanned pregnancies are often stressful enough for everyone involved, but, during a pandemic? With so many teens around the world stuck in restricted living situations, isolated from friends, schools, parties, and work, many can hardly imagine what their life will be like in the next few months, or even the next school year. Add the possibility of being pregnant – it is almost too much to think about!
Abortion Is Not the Only Option During Normal or these Crazy Times...
If you, or one of your friends is pregnant, don’t assume that abortion is the only option. It is not. Even though the world around you seems to be falling apart, there are still a lot of people who are available to help you—who want to help you—during these crazy times. They can help you figure out how to talk with your parents if you’re pregnant and trying to hide it; they can help you get medical and financial help for you and your baby; they can help you find a place to live (probably after restrictions are lifted, which is soon in many states) and help you come up with a plan of your choice for you and your baby.
Everyone Needs Friends And Your Baby’s Friends Are Waiting For Them…
This craziness won’t last forever—but a decision to deny a soul their opportunity for life at this time will have a long lasting effect on a lot of people, including the group of friends and loved ones who are already a part of your baby’s divine plan. That’s right—just as you have your friends, many whom you probably really miss seeing at this time—your baby has their friends who are counting on them being born right at the right place and the right time so they can all meet up and accomplish their special missions. If one of them is missing, it will affect all of them.
True Empowerment Is Allowing Your Baby To Be Born…
If, for whatever reason, you are unable to take care of your baby (or you don’t want to), please consider allowing your baby to be born and adopted by a family that will give them a life—the life that they deserve.
