Many of you know about the front line, lifesaving work of Expectant Mother Care. But you may not be aware of some of the other aspects of our Pro-life work. There is definitely a community outreach aspect to EMC. That could clearly be seen as we led the fight against the Anti-life Bill 371. We held rallies and petition drives to mobilize the people of NYC. But that is just one instance.
When a 37 year old mother of four died from a botched abortion in Queens, EMC interns and staff took to the streets, holding a candle vigil and educating the community about the dangers of abortion.
EMC Interns are often called on to speak on high school and college campuses in the New York City area. Personally I have had the oppertunity to speak at Cardinal Spellman Highschool on several occasions as well as St. Raymond's All Boys Catholic School and Fordham Universty, just to name a few.
So you see, part of our work is to go out and engage the community in a attempt to change the culture.
