A sign

Recently a woman walked into our office at 149th street in the Bronx right after we opened in the morning. The first fortuitous sign for her was that the clinic that she has had abortions in the past was not opened yet, and the second was that she had forgot her phone so she didn't have the number of the clinic to call.


Then as she was wandering back to the subway she ran across our sign that says "unplanned pregnancy?" and came right in. She almost immediately understood her morning as a sign from God that she should keep her baby.



Incredibly, this is her 12th pregnancy - she has had three abortions along with her eight children. She even said she hemorrhaged during her last abortion and was still considering doing it again.



But that all changed very quickly in her mind because of how the morning unfolded and because of our counseling and help. Lets hope and pray for a healthly ninth (live) child for our client.
