An exception to the exception

"In 1964 a fifteen-year-old girl was raped, became pregnant, and decided to carry her unborn child to term. Five months after the baby girl was born, in an act of courage and love the young mother provided her child a better environment by giving her to an adoptive family. That child was Pam Stenzel. She is the oldest of 8 children… 7 adopted…1 biological, and her extended family includes 38 adopted children in all." 

It was this week in Brooklyns office when I saw the video of a conference that Pam Stenzel was giving to college students, while she was talking to them she inspired me with her words, the way she wanted to be understood was so clear and so close at the same time. She counseled so many girls and always talked to them with opened-heart and experience taught her all the things she was telling about to the students, true things, true life. And watching her talk it also came to my mind the importance of good communication with others, with the world, because we can have great ideas, or values, or thoughts but the words in our lips are the ones that can talk from soul to soul.

This case like any other of the thousands that exist that are different from each other, but we can say about it that many people use to say that they could think that the only exception to let abortion happen could be in cases of rapement, the explanation is that is such a complex situation that could be an excepted abortion, and here she is, a great woman that could have changed in all this years the lifes of hundreds of people, and she was the exception of an exception, that also not only taught something to the people who talked but me, that within a video she made me think.

Every person is so unique, so important, such a gift, that we have to transmit the mothers that want to abort about the amazing act of love and courage that involves what the mother of Pam did, and how their baby needs to be the exception of exceptions, because in society nowadays more and more people find excuses to justify abortion as an exception in a moment of their lives.
