Echoes of Mercy Author:Nancy Alcorn When I was 17 years old on the night before starting my senior year of high school, I got pregnant the first time I had sex. I was already distraught, as my parents had taken my younger brother, who was dying from Hodgkins disease, to seek treatment. Our family was falling apart, I couldn't drive a car, had never had a job, and got $1.50 weekl... more »y allowance. I am so glad today that I chose life against all odds. That baby grew up to be Wynonna Judd. Knowing that an unplanned pregnancy can be one of the most difficult decisions a woman can face, I support Mercy Ministries of America. -Naomi Judd« less
