Rachel (pseudonym) is a student at the University of Florida. After finding out she was unexpectedly pregnant, she came to our pregnancy resource center in Gainesville for help. In the counseling room, Rachel explained that her mom was insisting she have an abortion. Our nurse sat with Rachel listening to her explain the pressure she felt from her mom to end her pregnancy. After providing Rachel with a free pregnancy test and ultrasound, our nurse talked to Rachel about the reality of abortion and its physical, emotional, and spiritual risks. She did everything she could to encourage Rachel to choose life.
With tunnel vision and her mom’s voice in her head, Rachel left CPCI and went to Planned Parenthood. Once there, the doctor prescribed her the abortion pill to end her pregnancy. After taking the first abortion pill, Rachel went home alone. Regretting her decision, she looked online for what help might be available and contacted the Abortion Pill Reversal hotline that evening. The hotline connected Rachel with CPCI, and our team quickly rallied to place her on the protocol for Abortion Pill Reversal to undo the effects of the first abortion pill. As a result, Rachel’s baby was saved. Because of her mom’s disapproval, Rachel kept her pregnancy to herself. But she was not alone. Thankfully, our Gainesville clinic was there to support Rachel, and over the following nine months our staff became her adoptive family. Rachel had a healthy baby, and she recently visited our Gainesville clinic with her boyfriend to pick up their baby gift!
