Oh the People We Meet

While working for EMC as an intern, setting up a table on the street I have been fortunate enough to meet a few other good hearted people and a few people that were willing to listen.

During these times, I have been able to meet Celeste Mohammed who wants to volunteer with EMC, because he too wants to save baby lives.

Then there was Rolando Bini, who runs a parenting class with Parents in Action. He's using the pamphlets that we give away every day on the street in his parenting classes.

Then there was the lady with dyed red hair that works at Lincoln Hospital, whom had decided to get an abortion, went to an abortion clinic on Roosevelt Avenue in Queens and was all ready for her abortion, when she felt her baby move. So she consequently got up and left. Most ladies would have known what they were doing was wrong, but would not have been able to get up and leave. Praise God she was able to. That was about 7 weeks ago. She was 19 weeks along at the time and is due in October.

Then there were two guys. Kids really. One just laughed and the other was somewhat interested. The interested one turned out to be a dad of a baby currently in the womb. After telling him that all of our organs our completely developed by 11 weeks, he told me that they didn't know what they were going to do and weren't ready to parent yet. He said he would come in with his girlfriend.

And then there were two girls that came by. One is pro-choice and didn't want to take a pamphlet and consider the information, while the other girl wants to do an internship with us, because she's pro-life. Her name is Tana Bray and she goes to college just down the street from us on 149th street in the Bronx.

As you can see, while we give out hundreds of pamphlets a day to help educate people on the street about the facts of abortion and how well formed we are in just a short amount of time, we are truly making a difference. So people just want to wave their finger at you righteously without knowing all of the facts and others just see "Free Abortion" where it actually says, "Free Abortion Alternatives". Unfortunately, a lot of people just don't seem to understand what alternatives mean. This is the society that we live in today.
