We Are More Pro-Woman

Many people are surprised to hear that when we go to Dr. Emily's abortion clinic we stay there for the entire day - from 7:30 AM to 3:30 PM - well before the doctors make it there in order to sidewalk counsel the women going in. But perhaps more surprising to some, is the fact that we are there well after the abortions are committed in order to talk to the women and offer support to them even after the deed is done.

Not only does this show that we are more pro-women than those in the clinic, especially the abortionists, but every once in a while, the endurance it takes to stand outside all day really pays off.

I approached a woman leaving the clinic in the afternoon expecting that she was post-abortive and prepared to offer support - she completely caught me offguard however, when she told me that she 'couldn't do it.' After she was told that she was 20 weeks, she walked out (and I'd like to think the prayers offered for her while she was inside helped make the difference as well).

Immediately, I brought her to the sonogram bus in order for her to see her baby and determine the sex of the child (unfortunately for her, the baby didn't cooperate on the latter). Then after some consultation, I gave her information and we exchanged numbers and parted ways.

Endurance does pay off when at Dr. Emily's and while no one can claim 'credit' for this one instance of a changed decision, I think that this is just one way God keeps us humble in order to remind us that He is the only one who should ever get credit for a changed heart and mind.
