Trouble in the Bronx’s center

Few weeks ago we had an unpleasant incident in the EMC office located in the Bronx. A woman was talking about her pregnancy with the director of the center while her boyfriend was sitting in the waiting room.
The trouble began when the boy heard something of the conversation his girlfriend was holding . He was surprised by what he had heard and started asking the couple sitting next to him about the center. They told him we were not an abortion facility and that we were showing his girlfriend the importance of human life.

Straightaway the boy walked into the room and forced the girlfriend to leave the place. He did not allow her to say a word and got her out of the room. A 23 year old man full of hate and aggression. The director tried to stop them so she could re-enter and keep the conversation going, but she was terrorized and dominated by the violent reaction of her boyfriend. After several threats and obscene phrases, he left the office with his girlfriend and closed the door, leaving his stamp identity by hitting the door glass with his fist and breaking it.

It was a reality check for woman, a reality check for truth, a reality check to the training and education, a reality check for life and definitely a reality check to all those values that we fight for every day.
