Education

A few days ago, in one of the EMC centers I met a woman, she was thirty-six years old. She has been living with a partner for eleven years, during this time she had four natural abortions because she has a lot of health problems, like diabetes, high pressure, cholesterol and depression.

When she came to the center she was four weeks pregnant. She was asking for a “cleaning” (abortion). She thought that it was just a necessary medical procedure because she was not going to be able to carry through the pregnant and the birth of her child. Then we tried to show her what it actually is. After that she realized the reality of what “cleaning” really was.

So I concluded how important it is to have an education, to know the whole truth about what you are going to do with your life, your body and others'.

As Jesus tells us in the Gospel: The truth will set you free.
