One thing we recognize very much at EMC is the importance of the ultrasound machine. Not only do we recognize it, so does the other side. They know that this powerful technology has the ability to show women the truth of their pregnancy and help them decide to keep their baby.
In my opinion and the opinion of others, the fact that EMC provides ultrasounds and is successful at saving babies caused NARAL and Planned Parenthood to launch their attack on us via bill 371.
Unfortunately however, one of our machines is in need of repair. Today that machine would have been used in our mobile unit that we park in front of Dr Emily.
However we knew the importance of providing this option for women, and we could not take a day off from having the technology available at the abortion facility. So today I awoke a little earlier than usual, drove to queens to pick up another machine that we weren't using today, and drove back to the Bronx where the abortion facility is located.
And wouldn't you know, we were able to provide a few ultrasounds today in that mobile unit.
Sometimes it seems that we as pro-lifers can give it our all to no avail. However, other times God blesses us when we try just try a little harder and are willing to adapt. My hope is that restrictions to access to this technology will one day be lifted - but cruelly, right now NYC Government is going the other direction.
