She may be young and pregnant, and we may never be able to imagine how terrified she must be feeling. But she has the opportunity to give a baby life. Many a time I have heard how people are desperate to adopt children as they cannot have of their own. She and her baby will have a whole life ahead of them if the baby is allowed to live.
