Most EMC interns have experienced the tense and demanding task of sidewalk counseling in front of Dr. Emily's. That area is more of a warzone than a chance to speak to people before performing an abortion. Me and Laura were the first to be apart of a new type of sidewalk ministry that will be rare to the point that most summer interns will be gone by next time but still well worth it happening again. Angie is a member of a churchi in the Bronx and today we set up tables displaying pro-life signs and literature while handing out small leaflets about the nearby EMC center. THe display of models of the stages of fetal development seemed to work well with the children and most adults took the leaflet. The older people who helped out thanked us for the success that they claimed was largely due to our youthful pressence. I wish to relay that the experience and the pleasure was ours and my best wishes to this gentiler form of sidewalk counseling to continue.
