I Deserve Time, Truth, and Support
Full Text
I do not have to make this decision in panic or under another person's pressure. I can pause, ask questions, seek medical facts, and speak with trustworthy people. My circumstances may be difficult, but difficulty does not erase dignity or eliminate every path forward. I am worthy of protection and practical support, and the life within me is worthy of care. God's mercy meets me here.
