To accept the consequences

It is very impressive to talk to a 14 years old pregnant girl. This week, I was with other internship in Queens and that happened.

She was very scared about her situation and her boyfriend too. They went to our office looking for an abortion, but the more we talk to them, the less they wanted it.

We explained them the possible bad consequences of an abortion. We talked to them for a while and they told us that the worst part of being pregnant was going to be her mother. She said that her mother did not know she was pregnant and she did not want to tell her mother this because it was going to be very disappointed. Although her mother did not want an abortion for her (that was she said) it was very difficult to tell her mother the situation. She believed her mother would take her out of home. After a while they accepted and wanted to face the situation.

I am really impressive for these teenager who accepted their consequences. They have been an example for me int this. They were scared but the accepted it, they were very strong. I am praying for them and her mother and we are calling them to be with them in this.

How beautiful is to see a sonogram!

This Thursday I have been in the EMC Brooklyn office. It was not crowded but there was a 17 years old girl who let me show her 8 weeks baby in a sonogram. It was incredible for me be able to see a baby in a sonogram for my first time in live! I was so happy and I thanked her for let me seeing that.

She had decided to have an abortion, but after that she was confused but very happy for that. I think she did not want really an abortion after that. I was able to see her smile when the baby moved his/her hand. It was awesome. I think I was almost as happy as her mother...

I really thank God for these opportunities to learn about this, to fight against abortion and to help mothers for keeping their babies!!

Beautiful point of view!

Sometimes, when we talk about choose life or abortion, we and pro-abortion people usually use the dangerous consequences of both as an argument to defend the different points of view. It is really necessary to inform women about that because they do not know those consequences and pro-abortion people never talk about that but sometimes is better to talk about the great consequences of keeping a baby.

This week I have been counseling a woman who wanted to have an abortion. She said that she had one son already and she was 28 and unemployed so having a new baby was impossible. I was with my brother, so we began to talk about our family, because we are 12 children. We insisted on how wonderful is to be a big family, to have brothers and sisters. We explained her what she was going to "lose" keeping the baby was insignificant in comparison with what she was going to give to her son and herself. We tried to show her that the most important thing in this life is to trust in God and to have a very beautiful family, because when you have problems, God helps you, and your family is your best support. She came to the clinic crying and she left smiling and giving thanks.

I am praying for her and her baby. It is impossible to explain how beautiful is to "use" your loved family as a way to convince her of keeping her baby. I think that the best way to convince a woman is to show her that her problem is to much less important than the happiness of having a child and a family believing in God.

Second part of different reasons: God's hand...

The second one was 16. She did not have any financial or health problems but she still wanted to have an abortion. It was sad to feel how ignorant she was, and how unconscious she was about her situation. Her baby is 5 months and we tried to give her information on how to place her baby for an adoption but she was a teenager and she did not want to listen to us. I told her that she was taking the worst way to take away her baby, because to have an abortion is dangerous and it has very dangerous consequences. However, to keep the baby and place him for an adoption is something natural, free and without as many negative consequences for your mind or physical health.

Today, however, I learned that she is going to keep her baby! I am so happy for this. I am sure God has touched her...It is amazing to know that us interns, with the Holy Spirit, have saved a life. It is something that you cannot explain... I thank God for this, I am sure this is one of the happiest days of my life.

Different reasons Part 1

This week I was in the Bronx and counseled two girls. I would like to write about how different each situation was and how they only saw one way to finish that situation: Abortion

The first one was 28 and she wanted to have an abortion because of her physical problems. She had an abortion when she was 17 and after that she had 3 miscarriages as a consequence of the abortion. She said that she was about to die in her last pregnancy when she miscarried because she lost a lot of blood after the miscarriage and she was really scared about her situation. She said she did not want to have an abortion, but she did not want another miscarriage either. It was difficult to talk to her, her situation was really hard. I prayed for her to not have an abortion, because the consequences could be very dangerous and the baby should live.

When they do not want to see the truth

Here is another update on a girl that came to Jerome Avenue.In this case it was a girl who was 19 years old and was pregnant.The thing was that she already had had 7 abortions and one baby. We explained her all the consequences that abortion has and that maybe there is going to be a day in which we would like to have another baby but due to the consequences of so many abortions, she may not be able to have them.
The reasons she was giving to us where that she was really young to have another baby, but the truth is that she did not want to take the responsibility of raising a child.
Also, at the end she told us that she knew she was selfish but the only thing in which she was thinking now was in spending good time in life.
Even if we told her that one day she would regret it and that spending good time in life is not in such way, there was no way to convince her.

It is sad to realize that we do not always get what we want, but one day we will be able to see the victory of LIFE!
