Abortion or Parenting? Not The Only Choices!


Six and a half weeks and asking about the pill. She had a surgical abortion and hated it, so now she wanted something better. The pill is actually much worse. Women are forced to see the baby when it comes out dead. They must make sure everything comes out. If it doesn’t, they have to have the surgical abortion anyway.
I shared information on the pill, and South Bronx Center Director Liz shared information on adoption and birthmothers. She started to cry. She knew the baby is a living growing human. She knew it would be killing her child. And so she decided to choose life. However she is considering adoption. This is the first client I have met who considered it an option. Most of the time a woman decides to parent. This woman will be going to talk to a adoption counselor, and see if it is the best thing for her baby.
As she left she told us, “I had an appointment for an abortion on Monday, but my friend sent me here.” Talk about just in time!
