You don´t know what you have until you lose it

During these months in the EMC internship, I have seen at Dr. Emily's clinic many women who regretted an abortion they just had. Just in the moment after an abortion they realize what they have done, and many of them leave the clinic crying.
In this moment we can´t do anything for babies because they have died. We can help them get ahead, talk about how they can redeem their huge mistake, but the reality of the situation is already done.

I think that something like that happens to everyone, varying degrees because abortion is very serious, but when you lose your father, or your mother, or friend...sometimes these problems make you stop talking to those people you really love and out of pride or fear you don´t ask for forgiveness. The fear in those womens who are pregnant is to face the guilt and not have babies, so the solution is not abortion, because that only makes things worse.

We must fight for those womens to overcome this fear that makes them surrender to the problems that having a baby involves, because we know what will happen next. We need to encourage them to strive for the most precious thing in the world: life.
