I stood outside of this abortion clinic in Queens with some of my other colleagues. We prayed all 4 mysteries of the rosary.
I also went to an abortion clinic in the Bronx this past week to pray as well. As I was praying, I couldn't help but notice a young man who had walked out of the clinic, and was standing against a street sign.
I waited a while, then decided to go for it. I approached him to say, " Hey , is your girl in there?" "Yeah", was his response.
He told me she already has a 5 year old daughter, and doesn't really want to get the abortion, but she feels like she cannot support the baby like she wants to. She is 6 weeks, he said.
I just tried to focus more on the part where he said "she doesn't really want to do it". Which lead him to randomly ask me, "So, is it legal, for her?" My response was, "What do you mean? The abortion at 6 months? No." He said, "No for her- at 6 weeks- like....it's illegal right?"
I said, " No ! Abortion is legal in this country up to 24.6 weeks in term". He said, "O for real?"
It's so interesting. He literally thought he had found a shady, back alley place that was going to perform an abortion on his girlfriend illegally. He just assumed it was illegal in general. He looked shocked when I told him abortion was legal in this country. He looked shocked and disappointed.

That's because the more innocent you are, the more you can't comprehend that abortion could be legal. That is why when little children are asked what is inside a mommy's tummy, they always know it is a real baby. Or when a chick dies inside the shell, little children are sad about the death. Little children and innocent people instinctively know what is true. It is when people become "wise" that they become ignorant fools.
AMEN!
