Saving a baby during a counseling session does not end when the woman walks out the door. The devil waits on the other side of the door. This is a hard truth to accept.
This young girl told Nancy and I that she did not want this thing inside of her anymore due to her sickness and back pains. Her reasons may seem very selfish, but really she is scared of her parents, and simply being a mother.
We encouraged her, and told her that being a mother entails a lot of sacrifice but also a joy that lasts forever.
We showed her the abortion procedure video in hopes that she would realize that parenting versus abortion is quite an easy decision when using logic. Abortion will cause her physical pain, in fact it will outweigh the pain she is having with her pregnancy. The emotional pain will last a life time, whereas parenting brings life and happiness.
She told us she wanted to keep the baby!! How happy we were, until the evil one got a hold of her and clouded her mind once again. She called me and said she still wanted the abortion. After we talked a little while, I convinced her to at least come in for a sonogram and we will go from there. I am praying that once she sees the baby’s heart she will want to hold her baby!
Although she said she wanted to keep her baby, the devil is constantly pulling her away. This is a challenge for us at EMC. This is why the follow up and constant prayer is a critical part in this work. Our work is not done till the baby is in our arms.
