Everyday as a prolife person I learn something new. Today I realised how the decision of having an abortion affects not only the baby and mother, but the mom and dad as a couple.
On the one hand, there was a dad pushing a stroller outside the clinic, giving his born child a ride. But inside was the mother having an abortion. We stopped the guy and started talking to him about that. Did he want this? No, he didn’t. This was his girlfriend´s choice. And that was when I realised that the father is affected by the abortion decision as much as a woman is. I saw him broken, he was glum. I felt sorry for him. The girl didn’t think about his wanting the baby, she just thought of herself.
On the other hand, there was a couple that passed by and went inside the clinic not stopping to listen to us. They just said that they made a decision and that was it. But the surprise was when we saw them coming out the clinic door saying that they are having the baby after all. Coincidence? I don´t think so. God worked through us, just by us being there as witnesses.

Have you considered that the women you purport to serve might be unduly influenced by your pro-choice rhetoric? Have you questioned the sex education these young girls receive? You've already considered their socioeconomic status--you don't have an internship available in Orange County, do you? So then, are you willing to help them care for their babies when faced with dire financial constraints? Are you doing your best to fight poverty in their neighborhoods/commnunities so their children can have the best opportunities possible? Or are you pushing scare tactics on these girls to keep their babies? I'm not arguing that underprivileged women should be coerced into having abortions. What I am pointing out is that your organization does nothing to help these girls once they give birth.
also: shouldn't you be responding to these comments?
