Children Quote by Kathryn Shay

“His dad always told him praying was merely talking to God. So he talked. I need help. I don’t know how to handle this. If Whitney decides to have an abortion, I’m not sure I can accept it. Can I be with her after she… could I even think this… after she kills my child? I don’t know.” quote by Kathryn Shay
