PRO CHOICE

Saturday at Queens is always rough because we are on our own. We know that its the one day of the week in which those lives are completely our responsibility, there is no head couslelor with us and no sonogram. Miguel and I headed over there tired and ready for the weekend. It was a quiet morning and I was thinking to myself...wow maybe nobody comes in at all..................but I was wrong.
A couple walked in with their 5 year old daughter, they both looked sad and worn out. Her eyes were all puffed up from crying.
I started talking to her and it turns out she had already had 3 abortions, she knew what the procedure was like and what it entailed, cases like theirs always the hardest.

So I decided to talk about the past abortions, first before turning to talk about the new unborn baby. I turns out she had the abortions with out telling her husband and it almost destroyed their marriage, he was suffering because of those children he had lost, he did not believe in abortion but right know they both though they had NO CHOICE, because they were living in a one room apartment which they were getting kicked out of in a week and had no job.

When I told her we could help her find a way to forgive herself and the doctors who had done the operation and that would bring her peace, she immediately asked if her husband could come in and talk to me.
We sat there for over an hour and talked about how they DO HAVE A CHOICE, and how they could reconnect and save their marriage by having this new baby. God is giving them another chance.

Listening to them talk about the horrors of their life situation and how they felt "forced" to have the abortion, they never thought that they had a choice in the saving of the unborn baby's life because they did not see a way out. It came to my mind how "pro choice" organizations call themselves, and what they defend the following "we defend that every woman has a CHOICE!!!!!". Really? Then how come 80% of the women who have abortion feel the complete opposite? This couple is going to keep their baby, they are going to attend a post abortion couples retreat to help them reconnect and forgive each other. We are going to help them find the clothes and all the baby things they will need. Dont give up hope, people are dying for encouragement and are wanting to hear that they have the REAL CHOICE OF LIFE.
