All I've Learned From my Fellow Pro-lifers in Las Vegas

In my personal opinion and in my own experience, each week, even each day working for the pro live cause i´ve had a lot of amazing experiences. This week a few of the interns, I was one of them by the way, had the chance to go to a rally with prolifers from all over the country it was placed in Las Vegas. They were really surprise when they saw us apeared, i mean it was kind of surprise for them because it was a national rally, anyway they were really thankfull for all the work this organization is doing.

In this rally i´ve met a lot of interesting prolifers each one had a lot of things to teach and i was willing to learn, they were many important prolifers and we had the chance lo talk with almost all of them, we talk about many many things they had a lot of experience in this cause, and it was refresing hear all of their personal experience with the womans they had work with and their issues with the police related to the work they do for the cause, they had had many troubles with the law but they said that they wont stop doing what they are doing because they know that is the right thing to do.

One of the ¨work¨we did for the rally was being in front of one abortion clinic with all the hot 120 degres it was like being in the oven!, there we tried to stop the women who tried to get in side by talking. At the same time in freemont street we put a huge pictures about abortion, this street during the day it´s really busy, so we could reach more people to see it. We saw many diferent reactions in the peoples faces, and we talked with many of them. And we get many diferent opinions and stories.

If i have to say o even write a resume of Las Vegas rally it will be: ¨ An amazing experience of knowledge from the main important prolife activists in with i´ve learned many many things which i will never forget, not just for their bravery fighting against the abortion sometimes ending dealing with the court, i admire then for their strength that shows ever day by acepting all they failures and keep working every day giving their best¨.

my first week

I'm new member of EMC, i've been just one week but i've already have experienced many things and been honest it's not an easy job, it's pretty hard sometimes but it's also make you feel that you're doing good. I've come from Spain and i'm so happy to be here to gave a hand to this cause, im really really happy.

In this week, I've seen many womens, many of these womens were not sure of getting the abortion, the most common excuse is that there are not prepare to be a mother, the truth is that they are scared. Or they don't thing that an unborn it's not a baby, but it is. Most of this womens knows that the abortion its bad, so thats why they just wanna get sleep during the procedure so they can "skip" the abortion, but the truth is that it doesn't solve anything because its still an abortion, and is something forever...

I started working on monday, it was a tough day, sometimes its not easy, mostly because i didn't know how to act i mean, it was in english and its dificult at the begining to express myself, but im happy to say that know i've improve a lot. but the next day, the tuesday was absolutely great!! its my first solo cuonceling because it was really busy in lizz's i talked to 4 women, one had had already 8 abortions and i needed lizz's help and we did great, at first she was 100% sure of taking the abortion, but we talk for an hour and then she change her mind!!! it was so beautiful you know, she said that she can not do it again to her baby! that was so so beautiful! awesome.


My two favorite stories of the week, because i was so proud of those, one was 16 years old she has a tough story, she was forced to had an abortion last year, her mother forced her, and she had been going all the year to counceling because the abortion, and she is pregnant again, her mother doesn't know this time but she is now in a better situation, her boyfriend, and his family too wants to help her, and even her sister, i was really proud of her when i saw her stregthness, i was really happy for her and for her baby. And the second story was about a jamaican woman unemployed, single, with a daughter in jamaica, for whom she had fight so hard to bring her to USA, she has been fighting for tree years, and know she get pregnant again, it was a really tough story, mostly because she knew that the abortion is really bad, but she beliebed that she cannot handle the pregnancy, not just the economic situation it was because of the father of the baby, he wantes to get rid of the baby!. she has an abortion when she was 18, at the same circunstances of the 16 years old girl. So she was really upset, she doesn't see another way, she suffered a lot because the previous abortion, but she was concern about her little girl in jamaica. After 2 hours talking she saw a way out, a way to carry on with the prengnancy, and she looks so happy, we offer her help, so she can carry on the pregnancy.

Its truth that i've seen a lot of stories, but those three, makes my job worthy. I do really beliebe it, and i'm so happy for those women, and babies.
