The hard work of construction, lead by David V., took place at 89-09 Roosevelt Avenue in Jackson Heights, Queens. It is the new office of EMC, and it has already available four small but confortable rooms, one of them with its own sonogram machine (that debuted last Thursday with eleven clients, by the way.)
Of course that location was not choosen randomly. Even though it is depressing, it is the precise place: twelve abortion offices are in the surrounding area within one mile. That does not mean that Jackson Heights neighbors are not very good people, because they did not chose to live in a cemetery. But they have something worse than that. Actually, last Monday, a woman died while she was having an abortion in one of those offices, a couple of blocks from our new center. The news told us about that sad event on Tuesday. On Wednesday, we went to that abortuary and we gave copies of the story printed in the "Daily News" that told about that terrible death. Most of the people already knew what goes on inside that office. Neighbors know neighbors. There were even people that already knew what had happened there on Monday (sadly,the news will not report the death that happens in an abortion, unless it is a mother who dies.) We also put some candles outside the abortion office (we would like to have candles there all the time in remembrance of the babies who have die, not "just" when a mother dies.
Our new place is ready, the area needs life, and the babies cannot wait. No excuses are possible. Let's make an extra effort and go to work in our new office. In a few weeks we will be changing the borough from a place to die to a place to live.
