Dawn Pate is director of the Osceola Pregnancy Center, a ministry of First Baptist Church of Kissimmee, Fla.KISSIMMEE, Fla. (BP) – At the age of 17, Dawn was in crisis.

She was pregnant and alone. She couldn’t tell her friends – the gossip and humiliation at school would be unbearable. She couldn’t tell her parents – they would be so hurt and disappointed.

She was a teen facing an adult decision all alone. Is it any wonder she made the wrong choice?Fortunately, Dawn wrestled with her decision a little too long and when she visited a Florida abortion clinic, it was too late to end her pregnancy.
