By KAY ABBOTT
Staff Writer
Many of the 70 church
Eut.ors and representatives
rushed away tears as Wales
Gobel detailed the problems of
young expectant mothers who
wish to carry their babies to
term but have no means of
support during their pregnan
cy.
" “Very ofnn. the puml't.:
are against them carrying t
bnb{." said Gobel. nfhoir
boyfriends desert them and
their friends tell them they are
stupid to ‘go through the
pregnancy. man s
come to me, after th{y fl:\ld
out about (c)lur foster léomo pro
gram, and say, ‘‘Everyone
wanted me to inve an abor
tion; nobody cared about my
baby. "dl only had someone to
turn to during my pregnancy,
my baby woul)t'i be alive
t Ifil
e 70 pastors, area
church members and doctors
met to provide a local solution
to the problem. The Nor
thwest Gcoorgiu Cfl.il;
annnncy enter present
has foster homes bo&g in Sum
merville and surrounding
counties for unwed pregnant
women, Churches are joining
il,'l\ a volunteer e;ffort to help
the center get off to a
start. The center, hudem
John Agnew, is funded by
local donations tind offers fnle
regnancy testing, counsel
fng. modrccl help and homes
for pregnant teens.
If the girl wishes, we can
find her a good foster home in
Dalton or some other place
outside the county,” said
Agnew. '‘Sometimes her
parents won't allow her to live
at home during the pregnan
c’y. We offer her an alternative
hnh, wants to give her baby
ife.
““We stress that we are not
a political or activist orwnln
tion,” said Agnew. “We do
not condemn those who are
pro choice. We simply feel it is
the church's .slnce to offer
help to unwed mothers in
stead of just telling them not
t~ have an abortion."”
