Hi. My name is Caley. I have unruly red hair, brownish eyes (people say, “Did you know your eyes match your hair?!), and freckles. I feel most alive when I’m outdoors or making something with my hands. I describe things in my head when I’m alone, thinking of how I’d write them if someone were […]
My friend Marie is a client advocate at a pregnancy resource center. She occasionally shares bits and pieces of stories about what she encounters at work. She can’t be specific, so mostly she is asking for prayers for those she serves. I get vague details like “please pray for a young abortion-vulnerable woman today to […]
I had something happen to me a few weeks ago that forced me to both look at and accept the views I have about pregnancy. It seems that almost every semester I learn that one of my students is expecting a baby. This last semester, two of my male students’ wives gave birth, and I […]

The following story comes from Alpha Pregnancy Help Center in Merced, CA. Laura was their first client to choose life on their Stork Bus. Not only is her story special, but Laura is now volunteering with this center because of the impact they had on her life. I went to the clinic near my house and […]

We pride ourselves on making choices because our choices give us some sense of independence, self-worth, and control over our lives. This all sounds […]
My junior year in college, I was a dorm resident assistant. This meant I got a break on room and board, and was responsible for the girls who lived on my floor. I tried to develop relationships, help the girls with whatever they needed, plan events, and just generally be available for anything and everything […]
Society likes to think they are pro-woman, but from the wage gap to cultural stigmas, I think more and more we are realizing that’s not necessarily true.
