Twins Malik & Jabril: Alive Today! | EAN Special

Choosing Life in the Face of Fear

My name is Kenya. I'm 23 years old and I have two twins a Malik and Jabril. I grew up in California kind of part of my life story brought back out here to Arizona at a young age. Went through high school then, you know, I have my kids got my four kids nothing special.

But I would say the initial circumstance that really made me want to go to an abortion clinic is I found out that I was pregnant. And it sucks because I just found out that the dad's going to prison in a couple months.

You know prior to me find out that I was pregnant. So that was one thing that made me want to do something like that because why am I gonna do this for X amount of? Whatever length of time I've do it alone not only my struggling with my two kids just got fired from my job to Having graduated high school and then I go to my first appointment and then they're like there's two of them.

The Ultrasound and the Discovery of Twins

So I was like wow and I was on birth control. With both of them too, so those that doesn't always work obviously clearly and so I ended up going to this abortion clinic and They did a consultation and everything and they took it was funny because they're the ones who told me that a pregnancy wasn't viable.

Actually, it was really sad day for me because then again, they told me that it wasn't there was it wasn't really viable. And they're like so and within their same question. They're like pushing what on with this.

Do you really want to do this or how can we accept payment and when are we scheduling it for not? How do you feel about this or do you have questions about what's going on? And then yeah, so I just I was there that day and then I remember I walked outside.

And there was these pro-life people outside and then they took me back to their little Little camper van thing and then we did an ultrasound and then that's when I thought I was having twins. So that's what was crazy.

I didn't even tell nobody at that point. It's just me who knows that so I found. It was like a rollercoaster. I found out a bunch like the abortion clinic says this might not be a viable pregnancy to finding out that it was twins.

So it was it was a lot. He my baby daddy. He turned himself into Jill ten days before I went into preterm labor and so I really do blame stress and Depression on me going into labor early with twins because I just had a baby about it like Like literally a year ago at that point almost after he turned himself into Jill.

My son ended up having a seizure. I had to take him to the hospital. My job at the time terminated me at that point and then I ended up a couple days later I had went into preterm labor when I was by myself in the dark and Thank God I called 9 -1 -1 in time because the babies were both of the babies weren't more breathing.

Church Support, Prayer, and Practical Help

So I feel like if I would have had them at home or just prolong something something worse would have maybe happened they had an extended necu stay baby a was in there for 60 days and baby B was in there for 50 days Pastor Zack and everyone else at the church.

They They were there for me asking me again How if I need anything they would bring the baby's gifts in the hospitals like little blankets and stuff like that. They were still there for me and my other two children as well as the two twins in the hospital.

They were in contact with another pro-life Organization helping me get things like set up a baby registry for me. I got a lot of stuff, you know. Like for the twins and again my other two kids. And I don't have very much family support out here.

Their dad is in jail already. So they were they were there as much as they could be, you know, checking in on me again. Giving me like things that I needed from all my kids. Offering to come visit me in the hospital because I know how sad and depressed I was at the time and just always being there Open-ear checking in seeing how my son was doing after this episode.

The Change of Heart About Abortion

What did you see that caused the change of heart.

There was two of them I.

Mean even if there was one of them I was still having doubts like is there something that I want to do because it's a permanent decision. I think that gave me a little bit of change of heart, you know, too.

That's crazy but. Because I know I had other kids and not even the fact. It's not even the fact that I had two other kids or any kids at all it's still something that's been a lot that's alive, you know.

And. Something that I would have like, you know, I would have murdered basically. You know makes me want to cry because I love them so much. But um.

Yeah.

It could have you know.

Like.

They could have been gone right now or they want to be a thing. I just love them so much now. They wouldn't be here if I actually did that. Yeah, it's just like how could I think. Why would I want to do that?
