Bernese sought an abortion almost immediately after she found out she was pregnant unexpectedly.

She called a Pregnancy Help Center that partners with Heroic Media.

Bernese spoke with a counselor on the phone crying, “I’m looking for an abortion…my husband abandoned me.”

The counselor listened intently, and scheduled an appointment for Bernese to come in the next day.

Bernese opened up more about her situation during her appointment.

She talked about her husband who changed after marriage.

He told her that he did not believe he was the father, though she had never been with anyone else.

Her family has “cut ties” with her, and she has been living in a shelter.

Bernese had an ultrasound, and asked for pictures of her baby.

She was overwhelmed when she saw her baby on the screen.

Bernese said that she would feel good about herself if she parented, but not if she aborted.

The staff discussed housing and parenting resources for her.

Bernese was grateful for the support. She chose life for her baby!
