Tell Me Pastor

Pressured, now pregnant

Dear Pastor

I have a problem that urgently needs to be addressed. I'm a 23-year-old female who was a virgin. My boyfriend threatened that he would leave if I didn't satisfy his sexual needs.

When this was said I thought about it and surrendered. A condom was not used and a few weeks ago I missed my menses.

Being the independent person that I am, I went and did a pregnancy test which indicated that I'm pregnant.

Dear C.S,

It was unfortunate that you allowed yourself to be pressured by this man, and that you had unprotected sex. Now look what has happened to you.

I hope that this man will stand by you. You need all the emotional and financial support from him. I also hope that he will marry you.

Please don't be tempted to do an abortion.

Pastor
