What can we do?

Today a 20 year old girl came to the South Bronx Center. She had spoken with somebody before so she had come for some information. I talked to her and she told me that she was a bit afraid but with our help she is having a great pregnancy.

When people say that our work is in vain they don’t really know what we do.

It easy to say that we don’t know about these women’s situation because we don’t walk in their shoes. It’s true that it's difficult to talk about abortion when we’re not pregnant. But we really believe that there is a life in these women’s wombs. We open their eyes.

This is the country of liberty and opportunity. Babies also should be treated in that way.

God’s give us the life and it`s not fair to discard it.

Women come to us because they need support. They need somebody to talk to. We try to do the best for them.

Starting

I’m Cristina, a new girl from Spain. I’m 20 years old. I study architecture at the UPM in Madrid.There are 8 of us in my family. I have 3 brothers and 4 sisters. I’m the third. I went to a Catholic school in Madrid. I’ve been pro-life since I knew what it meant.

I’m excited about this job because I want to show how important life is. This experience is better than I thought before coming to NYC. It's pretty hard sometimes but it also makes you feel that you're doing good. I'm so happy to be here to lend a hand to this cause. I did not know what to expect at first but I have learned a lot this first week and was amazed at how much good work we are able to do in such a short amount of time.

In this week, I've seen many women, many of them were not sure of getting the abortion, the most common excuse is that there are not prepared to be a mother, the truth is that they are scared.

Over the next weeks I want to help them!
