It’s not often that Twitter is uplifting, but late last night a new hashtag started trending: #UnplannedParenthood.
https://twitter.com/katearthsis/status/626219594894733313
The Twitterverse was encouraged to share personal stories of choosing (supposedly) inconvenient Life over abortion — and the joy that follows. Within minutes the tweets began to flow with people sharing their experiences of unplanned pregnancy and the amazing results: their kids.
So here is a list of the Top 20 #UnplannedParenthood tweets:
#UnplannedParenthood <—- that's me! Mom got pregnant w/ an IUD. I'm pretty happy she chose to give me a chance at life.

Very familiar with #UnplannedParenthood. We were scared. We were students. We had -no- money.
But we thanked God. pic.twitter.com/LDbrJH5ROW
