But I knew that I had to be vocal [echoing] what the church viewed abortion as. When you’re in certain circles you feel you have to be pro-life.

No. A lot of times in those CPCs, they believe that anyone who works with them is sold on this theology. You’re not being watched. And I knew what to say. I knew the Bible, and I would listen to what people were saying in church, and I would regurgitate that. The CPC liked that, because it was someone that wasn’t blond-haired, blue-eyed. Some would use it to their benefit, because I was Latina. They saw it as a story: I had my first child when I was 18.
