Truth Speaks for Itself

She came into our center in Queens 2 months ago. She came to see about getting an abortion. We talked for quite a while. I told her that since she was interested in getting it done, she needed to know the facts about it.
We talked about the septic infection and so forth. Then we watched a video about the procedure and more of the risks and complications.
About 5 minutes into the video, she started to say things like "are you serious?...is this for real?"
She couldn't understand how people could be ok with an abortion, after she saw the truth of what it was.
Even though she watched the video to its entirety, she was still having her doubts. She knew that her mother would not approve and would most likely kick her out of the house. There was much at stake for her in terms of keeping this baby.
Next, I told her that we could provide her with a free sonogram. Luckily we were able to do it that same day! This was when the miracle really started to happen.
She SAW her baby. She was immediately moved, to tears! Then, she heard her baby's heartbeat! This was THE defining moment in her life.
When she heard this, she called her boyfriend. He was just getting out of school. She told him that there was something IMPORTANT he needed to see. He rushed over immediately!
We waited until he got there, and he got to see his baby too! He was unsure at first what was going on. Then his whole body language began to change. He became excited!
I brought both of them back into the counseling room to talk. Both of them agreed together that they were going to keep this baby. Abortion was out of the picture at this point.
All I did was tell them the truth, and they decided on their own what to do.
Praise God!
