Everyday is an adventure at EMC. Yesterday in the Bronx, a woman came in who has 2 children, and has had 4 previous abortions. Currently carrying her 7th pregnancy, she said she needed to have an abortion because financially, it's not possible for her to take care of another child. After a long talk, this woman saw that she could not go through with another termination. She wanted to keep her child desperately, but truly did not see how it would be possible. When the possibility of adoption was presented, she agreed that it truly was the best choice. Although she admitted that she doesn't know how she will be able to part with her child after carrying it for 9 months, she agreed that as a mother she needs to protect the child she is bearing. I have such admiration for this woman. Her choice shows tremendous love and selflessness. It's amazing to see the instinctual love a woman has when she becomes a mother.
