Hi, Dawn,
I am very glad you came. Since you said you are pro-life, you probably know exactly what abortion is. If not, I urge you to find out what abortion does to babies. Find out about the development of your baby.
Right now, you are afraid of the uncertainty. You said your parents won't talk to you. How do you know? They may well be upset at first, but most parents become very supportive, and since they already are, I can see them becoming supportive of this grandchild as well. Give them a chance. Let them be upset, and give them time. After all, you are upset, too. So it's normal for them to be upset as well.
So what it seems you are saying is that you are considering harming your baby because of what your parents MIGHT do in the long run. Does that make sense to you? It sure doesn't to me!
I'll tell you that I have one grandchild (out of seven) who was born out of wedlock. There is no difference between him and the others. They are all precious. I am so glad his parents preserved his life!
And given that you are pro-life, and you can't think of abortion without emotional reactions, think of what you would do if you actually went through with one. You have to live with yourself. I once almost had an abortion, and the nightmares I had afterward were horrendous, and I didn't even HAVE the abortion.
If you don't want an abortion, don't have one!
Abortion can cause the destruction of your emotional state, your relationship with your boyfriend and parents, and serious medical damage. It can even kill you. Please don't take those kinds of chances! It is normal for a woman not to want to be pregnant at first. It's a hormonal thing. But this is a temporary problem. Abortion is permanent. You can't take it back. And your baby is depending on you for your protection.
You should be able to get a high school diploma online; just find a site where you can complete your coursework.
Please place your trust in God, and He will sustain you. Take one day at a time. You are a lot stronger than you think, and you can do this! And you have marriage to look forward to. If I were in your shoes, I would tell your boyfriend that you two must marry before you will go with him. That commitment is vitally important to make sure he stays in your baby's life, and though it's not a guarantee, it does make a big difference. Don't do anything to destroy your future. Please.
Hugs,
Pat
