Dr. Laura,
You recently asked what "shocking" thing you said when I first started listening to your program. Well, here's my story:
7 1/2 years ago, I was a new mommy, home on "maternity leave", and I had the radio on to keep some sort of adult noise in the house. I don't know how I came to that station, and I wasn't really paying attention to anything that was on, but suddenly I heard this woman going on and on about how WRONG abortion is. I was shocked! I mean, I TOTALLY AGREED with everything she was saying, but I couldn't believe the radio was allowing this to air! Then she went on about the perils of shacking up, kids out of wedlock, and everything I had the same opinion about.
I was hooked.
And what a blessing, because although my husband and I had already decided I would soon officially quit my job after our child was born, I was very scared to actually do it. Your voice came at the right time, and I have been my kids' mommy (we have two now) ever since.
Amy
