And we did free pregnancy tests. When a woman had a positive I'd first ask "Is this good news or bad news?" If the woman said it was bad news, I'd answer "You have three options. All of them suck. It's up to you to decide which one sucks the least". Then I'd discuss adoption, abortion, and raising an unplanned for child.

I guess I couldn't even do that in Texas. And here I thought Florida was backward!
