Unexpected sadness

I haven't written for a long while. Recently I did a pregnancy test on a young woman, freshly out of college, who found out she was pregnant. She isn't sure what she wants to do. Part of my options counseling involved providing her with the names and numbers of local abortion clinics, which she requested. I didn't expect this, but it made me really sad. I'm a very strong advocate of woman's right to choice. But I still had to say a little prayer before I gave her the information.

Oh, that is difficult. I sent one up myself just now. So hard... I found myself in that girl's place nearly 8.5 years ago.

BTW, I replied to your comment ;)
