'I want to keep it because I want to meet it and get to know it. It deserves to live, and I don't want to be the person that ends its life.'

'He rapes girls and sells their babies. If I hadn't escaped, he definitely would have taken this baby from me when it was born.'
She shook her head. I knew my mother was disappointed in me, but I was going to stand my ground. I wanted to keep the baby.
'I'm going to leave you to rest and think about all the disadvantages of keeping this child.'
'How can you say that mum? How can you ask me to think about the bad things that will happen if I keep my child? Aren't you supposed to support me?'
'How can I support such? No one has a job around here. I'm dipping my hands into my savings just so we can feed, and you want to bring a baby in?' She shouted.
