This week I have been counseling a woman who wanted to have an abortion. She said that she had one son already and she was 28 and unemployed so having a new baby was impossible. I was with my brother, so we began to talk about our family, because we are 12 children. We insisted on how wonderful is to be a big family, to have brothers and sisters. We explained her what she was going to "lose" keeping the baby was insignificant in comparison with what she was going to give to her son and herself. We tried to show her that the most important thing in this life is to trust in God and to have a very beautiful family, because when you have problems, God helps you, and your family is your best support. She came to the clinic crying and she left smiling and giving thanks.
I am praying for her and her baby. It is impossible to explain how beautiful is to "use" your loved family as a way to convince her of keeping her baby. I think that the best way to convince a woman is to show her that her problem is to much less important than the happiness of having a child and a family believing in God.
