Saturday with the Franciscans


Last Saturday, the A Team went to Emily's. There were not many girls going in, so our job, apart from waiting alert, was to pray for the babies, the mothers and also for the clinic's staff.

There were a lot of people on the outside. 6 pro-choicers were trying to make us feel nervous and to interrupt us when trying to talk to mothers coming.

But the good news are that there were also many people, like 15 or more pro-lifers praying intensely. Basically they were south-americans and Franciscans.

Other than that, I managed to talk to a woman. I saw her in the distance, and then approached her. I asked her if she was going to Emily's, and then we started talking.

I offered her all the help EMC gives to expectant mothers, but then a pro-choicer joined us and started giving her misinformation about us to persuade her not to talk to us.

Finally she went in saying she was only looking for medication.
