"The Blessed Gift"


Just yesterday a young lady came in wanting an abortion, she seemed pretty sure of her decision, at first. As she watched the abortion procedure video, I stepped out of the room to look at her information sheet. Come to find out she has a 16 month old little girl that she's having trouble taking care of. As the movie was winded down, it was her time for her ultrasound. This young lady turned out to be 26 weeks pregnant with a little boy. She cried and said she felt lost but she knew she couldn't have an abortion. She's due December 3rd, we all should keep her lifted in prayer. Today another woman came in abortion minded and she seemed very nonchalant about the whole idea of an abortion. She went in and sat down to watch the informational video of a developing fetus and seemed to become very uncomfortable. She wanted to leave at this point. As she proceeded to walk out, I seen great emotion in her face,Linda,the Brooklyn office director,reached towards her and grabbed her hand and told her she wanted her to see her baby by giving her a free sonogram. Some time passed, and I found out the real motive for her wanting to have an abortion. She was 23 years old and suffered a miscarriage of twins on two separate occasions, one at 4 months and the other at 7 months. This woman was really suffering emotionally. After Linda ministered to the woman, her mind had been changed and she looked as if she felt relief. So today Ive realized more than ever, not only is a child a gift but a blessing as well.
