I wanted an abortion. But then I made a friend who saved my baby
Fox News
Many women feel alone during pregnancy. The Human Coalition clinic listened to my worries and needs and helped prepare me for my baby. They also gave another gift -- friendship.
I knew when I left that I could keep my daughter. I knew I had allies. I had a village to reach out to when I needed support. And I knew that with their help, I could find the resources I needed to raise my preborn child. Niya Townes is a mother of five and a resident of North Carolina.
I still remember how cold it was when I walked into the Human Coalition clinic that January for a consultation. They led me to a private room, where I was able to have a one-on-one conversation about all of my options. Little did I know that Jillisa, the staff member I was connected with, would be a close friend to me throughout my pregnancy.
