Jaleesa found out she was pregnant by surprise at 21 years of age.

She felt alone and scared, not knowing where to turn or what to do next.

This was her first pregnancy.

Jaleesa told the father of her baby, who left the decision up to her.

Jaleesa could not imagine having a baby at this time in her life, so she turned to the internet to find information about getting an abortion.

After discovering a Heroic Media ad, Jaleesa called the number she saw on the screen, and was connected to one of our Pregnancy Help Center partners in Baton Rouge.

She agreed to come in for an appointment the next day.

Jaleesa met with a counselor to talk about the reasons she was considering an abortion, and to learn more about abortion risks and procedures.

She stated that she had a hard time deciding if she could become a parent at this stage in her life.

Jaleesa felt that a baby would “interfere with her plans.”

However, after seeing her 6-week-old baby on the ultrasound screen, Jaleesa decided to continue her pregnancy!

Praise Jesus for connecting her to a life-affirming center!
