This weekend a few of us interns attended the National Right to Life Conference in Pittsburgh. This gathering of so many dedicated people was encouraging and educating. I went to many workshops, but the ones that touched me the most were those about post abortion syndrome and the RU486 abortion pill.

Hearing post-abortion women with the voice of experience talk about the most effective way to reach and care for women was invaluable. The need for a listening ear is so important as each woman and her story is different. As we care for their children we care equally for the women.

Some of the stories about the abortion pill were horrific beyond words. Women dying from hemorrhages, passing fully formed tiny babies and feeling horrible guilt, weeks of bleeding; all these complications from a pill that's supposed to be good for women.

A lot of women come into the EMC centers wanting the abortion pill not knowing the complications. It doesn't seem like an abortion. To many women it seems like a medicine to make a worry go away. What women are not told is that this pill doesn't just make a woman un-pregnant. It kills her baby inside her body and never changes the fact that she is the mother of a child that was once living safe in her body.

The lies about this pill being easy are some of the biggest deceptions women face in an unplanned pregnancy. Please pray for us as we work to spread the truth about what is really good for women and as we encounter new women and stories each day.
