They say it takes a village. Or, at least today, an online posting community.
Read the heartbreaking story of a young woman named Emmie who found herself pregnant and confused. To clear things up, she decided to go find her answers in a public venue, getting advice from anyone who had access to a computer. There are three posts, Part One, Part Two and Part Three.
I'll try to write on this later.

horrible and sad
wow Ryan...by far the saddest, most painful post I have read in a long time. I want to scream out in the coffee shop that I sit as I read this post. The depth and pure sinisterness of sin and selfishness is beyond my comprehension. We (I) are a wicked generation. Abortion is our holocaust.
What is breathtaking about the whole thing is that Emmie made the decision, as far as I can tell, 'calmly and coolly.'
"Once I came to the decision to terminate the pregnancy, so much of the guilt and sadness I’d been feeling melted away. I felt happy for the first time since finding out and I feel like my family is supportive of my decision. I’m focusing on the child I’ll have in a few years from now with someone I feel safe with and supported by. The life of that child will be infinitely better than this one and, sometimes, I wonder if such a miserable, lonely woman could even have a healthy child."
That is not a rash statement. She knows exactly what she is doing. Outside of the work of the spirit, outside of the grace of God, we will, as you say, continue to be a wicked generation.
