Abortion Escorts Get a Little on the Fail Side


Yesterday I went to the abortion clinic in the Bronx,NY from 7:30 to 11:30 to tell the girls that went in about our Center where we can give them all their options as well as free sonograms and pregnancy tests. Well, I had some company....
There were 8 adults that stood outside the doors like I did and counteracted everything that I was trying to do. They were "escorts" for the girls going inside. They held the door open for the girl to walk through. They welcomed death. This was nothing compared to all the things they tried to say.
Everytime I opened my mouth there was a short woman who consistently spoke when I was speaking.
For example,I would say to the girl "hey mommy, are you going to the doctor?....ok,are you pregnant?" And usually the girl would answer yes or no. Then if it was yes I would ask "oh God bless you.Do you know how far along you are?" And they would either say they didn't know or they would tell me.
While I would be saying all this,the woman would be saying OVER me "don't listen to her.You don't have to listen to her. She doesn't know what she is saying......" Until the girl was out of my reach and went inside.
The woman made fun and mocked me. I was trained to say "hey mommy" cause that is something people say in general in the Bronx. Plus it gets the girl thinking "oh yeah,I am a mommy".
Well,these 8 people joked and said to me things like, "you're calling these girls mommy? Isn't that disrespectful? Why do you even say that? Do you know what you're even talking about ? hahahahaa"
After this happened one of their guys walked past the entrance and I thought it was a girl, so I turned my head. Then the short lady yelled at me, "yeah hun,that's one of OUR people. I just thought I would let you know since you keep harassing these girls and probably wanted to talk to him....hey! (towards the man) hey, DADDY! hahahah".....then they all laugh. They were making fun of me for saying mommy.
Then, after I make my way to the back entrance, I was able to get a girl's attention who was coming out. She was interested and walked towards me to receive one of our pamphlets. I asked her "do you know how far along you are?" She said, "2months". I said to her "oh mommy! That is so exciting! Did you know that the baby has a heartbeat at 3weeks which is only 21 days after conception?"
By this time, the escort lady came over along with her other buddies and interrupted me to say, "hey listen, she's not allowed to tell you that. She's not a doctor. She is lying to you."
So what I said to that was , "you know what mommy? These people make excellent points. Don't just listen to me, research this for yourself. Actually, thank you! That brings up a very good point! Go google this stuff for yourself and see if what I am saying to you is true".
This made the woman very,very angry.
Another time, I was telling a girl about our M.D. Dr. Iskander in Brooklyn. And she said "they don't have real doctors. They are fake doctors."
I told this girl the same thing. I said "hey you know what? You can call this number and see for yourself if our MD is fake or not mommy,ok?"
After a while, they started to leave me alone. I baffled them. I was really annoying them, to the point where they didn't even want to come around when I was talking to a girl.
So basically I took what they said and used it to continue to talk to the girls. Because I was not there to get into an argument with these people who are pro abortion. That wasn't my mission.
My mission was to help and support these women during these difficult times and to let them know they have other options and help provided for them.
It was very difficult,but I had to keep my eyes on the prize. And Christ's strength had EVERYTHING to do with that.
