Crystal walked into one of our Pregnancy Help Center partners doors in Chicago shortly after searching for information about getting an abortion.

She discovered our partner after clicking on a Heroic Media ad, and texting the number she saw on the screen.

Crystal is a 17-year-old teenager who indicated she was about 7 weeks pregnant by surprise.

She came in with her boyfriend after setting up an appointment.

Crystal opened up with the peer counselor about reasons she was considering an abortion.

She shared that she was afraid of her parents’ reaction, and felt that a baby would interrupt her plans to go
to college.

She felt better after talking through her fears with the counselor, who was also a teenage mother herself at age 17.

Crystal had an ultrasound, revealing a healthy baby.

She learned about the risks and side effects of abortion, but after seeing her baby on the screen, Crystal and her boyfriend knew they could not follow through with having an abortion.

They chose life for their baby! They expressed their gratitude for the support they received at the clinic.

Praise Jesus!
