My 11-year-old patient was pregnant. This is what I want you to understand about being ‘pro-life’

Now in her 20s, I wonder how she has healed and processed that trauma. Did she go to college? Has she found trust in a partner? Has she had a child on her own terms? I picture her wide face and soft smile, knowing—then and now—that the choice to end her pregnancy, supported by those who loved her, was truly a pro-life decision. (Video: Getty Images)
