With No Job and One Child Already, She Planned to Have an Abortion; But This HappenedWhen “Brandy” discovered she was pregnant, she hesitated to tell her boyfriend “Ryan” the news. Although they’d been in a committed relationship for several years, the last few months had been the most trying.
Brandy had given birth to their first child, “James,” just six months earlier, but both Brandy and Ryan had lost their jobs since then. The demands of a new baby combined with their difficult financial situation had placed an enormous strain on the young couple’s tenuous relationship. And since they were receiving very little support from their family and friends, Brandy and Ryan believed abortion was their only option. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/08/07/with-no-job-and-one-child-already-she-planned-to-have-an-abortion-but-this-happened/

But then there are the God-collisions that warn His children and say, “Watch! Pray!” http://www.lifenews.com/2014/08/07/we-were-praying-at-the-abortion-clinic-when-the-owner-came-out/
