The Stara's first pregnancy was terminated when she was 15 years old.

She didn't understand what was happening.

After three more abortions, she finally learned the truth.

I heard it from focus on the family and they were talking about pro-life being a baby, a human being in your stomach.

continuing to being sharpening. I'm not embarrassed anymore about the choices that I made. I'm wanting to help.
