There's Something to Say About That


I had the privilege of attending the big pro life rally this past Monday. There were many speakers. They all said things that stood out in my mind. However, the tone of one of them was an emotion I am still thinking about.
This woman had been a former board member for Planned Parenthood for 5 years. She supported abortions. She talked about what happened when she was working there. She realized the day that she said to one of the other board members "this is very traumatic for the girls" referring to abortion. She then lead on to say the other board member coldly reacted back saying "No. it's . not."
As soon as this happened, she said to herself "I've got to get out of here".
To me, this symbolizes what I see day after day with these abortion clinics. Girls will come to our centers,not really knowing what we do, and once they find out, they tell us the inside of what happened to them when they went to an abortion clinic.
They say the abortion clinic workers were cold and mean. They say to us that it doesn't feel right when you are in there. They feel comfortable enough with us that they can speak freely about these things.
There is something to be said about that. There's something to say about the fact that girls trust our EMC centers. They feel that they can confide in us. However, at these abortion clinics, they report that it's hostile. These are the girls speaking, not us.
There's something to say about that.
