Why?

Why are we doing this? Why are we, some young college students, taking time of our summer to fight against the abortion instead of going on vacation with our friends or family? Why do we spend a lot of money to come here from Spain?

These are some of the big amount of questions that some of my relatives or friends have asked me in the last few weeks. But I'm not the only one: other internships of the Bronx Lifehouse also have been asked on the same way. And we all answer the same: because we want to.

We want to help poor people. We want to give information to those who doesn’t know what is a real abortion. We want to support the people who say no to this crime. We want to show our rejection to the abortion clinics. We want to play and enjoy of the child who could be dead many years ago. We want to give a good life to that mother who wants to grow up her baby but she can’t because she has no job, clothes, a apartment… We want to try to shut up those who try to confuse and lie to pregnant women just to take their money. We want to explain that the life is not a choice, it’s a right. For all of us. Since the moment of our coception.

I hope that these words could answer to those who can’t understand our objective: save as many lives as we can. Because life is the most value thing that it has been given to us. We have to communicate this on the best way we can.

If anybody still have doubts of why we are here, let me know. Or what is better, come here a few weeks and discover by yourself. Thank you.
