Hello hello!
Yesterday was very encouraging in Queens! We had 7 women come in who wanted an abortion, and left excited to keep their child! I witnessed for the first time, how powerful a sonogram is for a mother to see. A few of these women did not decide to keep their baby until they saw the little hands of their child on the screen or heard his/her heartbeat. It's amazing to see how instinctively protective these women are. They are going to make incredible mothers.
"And if we can accept that a mother can kill even her own child, how can we tell other people not to kill one another? How do we persuade a woman not to have an abortion? As always, we must persuade her with love… And we remeind ourselves that love means to be willing to give until it hurts…" – Mother Teresa
At EMC we are constantly being reminded to love these mothers. We are not here to place judgement but to love them unconditionally. And to do this, we must be willing to provide these women with the truth.
