The choices you make in this life go far and wide. Your life is a part, a link, in the chain of humanity. There were those before you and there will be those after you, and your life is very integral to the very existence of life. Every person that exists is needed, has a purpose, and is valuable. The very fact that you are pregnant is no mistake. It does not matter how you got there, one thing remains true. There is life inside of you and that life is just as valuable as yours and every other persons that every existed. You may feel completely alone and terrified of what is to become of you and your baby, but I am here to tell you to not be afraid.
You are not alone. That is the greatest benefit of being a part of humanity. There are people surrounding you. They may be known to you or they may be complete strangers, but if you look far enough you will find someone who will support and encourage you. She will tell you that you are strong and you can bring life into this world. For every person who says you can't possibly go on, and that abortion is the only answer, there is another person saying that you can do this, you don't have to be afraid, you are strong enough and you are important. If there is even a little part of you that wants to keep your baby, I am telling you that you can and you should. Her life is just as valuable as yours. Put away any and all thoughts of doubt, you can do this. Don't go to that appointment, instead talk to us. We can help you believe in yourself. I want to encourage and support all women who are facing an unintended pregnancy. You are strong enough to bring this baby into this world, even if you end up not mothering him. I will never say that your only option for a happy future is to stop a beating heart and that there is no possible way that you can do this alone.
The truth is that you will never be alone, there are too many people who care about you and there is a God who loves you more than any person ever will. You have a purpose and your child has a purpose. You are Brigette, strength is your meaning. Exalted one you are called. I can and I will should be your mantra. Do not believe anyone who tells you otherwise.
