My first
contact was with the offices EMC has in the Bronx and Brokling. However,
yesterday I had the opportunity to spend a morning at the door of Emily's, an
abortion clinic.
How
different experiences. While in ones I can make them recognize that abortion is
not the best and only option in a indeterminate period of time in others I have
just the seconds it takes them to step inside the gate of the suffer, I decided
to call it like this after seeing the faces of the women as they left.
They usually
get anxious and nervous. When they enter the clinic, they receive them and give
them a bracelet that identifies them and an hour to start what will change
their lives.
Until the
hour arrives, the only support to lose the nerves of some of them is with a cigarette,
which forces them to go out the back doors of the clinic, which is about 15
meters from the gate where interns stand.
When this
happens, we have to raise our voices to try, once again, make them think about
what is still in their hands. Most look as if they where deaf but yesterday it
was not like this. I tried to talk to one of them from the gate and she walked
towards me to talk better.
It was
unbelievable. I talked to her until it was ''her turn''. ''Her turn''? I
thought you got a turn to buy at the butcher but I didn't know abortion clinics
use the same term to end a life. I'd like to know how the baby feels when he
hears it's the turn of his death.
