My blog sister Julie, over at Happy Catholic, posted this urgent request yesterday:

For a young girl who is making a decision about an unplanned pregnancy. She wants to give the baby up for adoption but is being pressured to have an abortion. Lord, move her to stand up against pressure, to make the decision to love the little life inside her, and send her the support she needs to have her baby and to thrive.

To which I can only add: Amen.
