Crisis pregnancy centers create appreciation, controversy
AUSTIN, TEXAS – When graduate student Mariel Lindsay returned from a summer study program in Paris, she discovered not only that she was pregnant but that the Frenchman she’d fallen for had no interest in maintaining the relationship.
It hit the 25-year-old hard.
“I had a big meltdown and my mom found me, so obviously my parents found out right away,” she said in a recent interview.
After a quick computer search, her mother located a crisis pregnancy center not far from the family home in Austin.
