There is Hope and Healing

When was the last time you checked your MySpace page? Well, I did yesterday. It had been a loooong time since I was on it. I was looking around and I found a blog I wrote years ago. I want to share that with you today. The blog is about an incident that happened with a very young couple at the abortion clinic. A good friend of mine spent all day at the clinic waiting for this young couple giving them love and hope. I still remember many details of it. Even their license plate is engraved in my memory. Here it is:

Things 16 yr olds shouldnt worry about    September 28, 2005

Current mood:crushed

Wow, had such a crazy day.   I spent my breaks at the abortion clinic today and it was just so overwhelming. Clinic was packed, no place for patients to park.  When I got there, my friend was talking to a sixteen year old couple that had just gotten out of the car.  If only you could see the look on their faces, confused, frightened, helpless, hopeless.  We offered them information, and offered them help to make a better decision.  We talked to them for about 10 minutes.  The girl was pregnant and frightened to get an abortion.  She said she didn't want to.  The boyfriend on the verge of tears pleading us for help.  Did no good, the girl went right in.  I dont know what she based her decision on, or if the nurse that was working as a security guard that day made her change her mind.  

We expected her to come right out, because on the first visit, you have to get a pregancy test and by law wait 24 hrs before you make your abortion decision.  One, two hours passed.  I left for class. Came back afterwards and the car was still there.  As we waited and waited, we were of course suspicious.  It was evident they were going to give her an abortion.  So as we usually wait for the women to come out after their abortion to help them out, we waited for this one girl.  After most patients left, the main nurse, comes out.  Looking out to see if we were there, she approaches the 16 yr old's car and turns it on.  So we went to the other side exit of the clinic and the two kids were there. The girl was by the door, and the boy approached us to the sidewalk.  I can still picture their faces of "What did we do??" "What now??" such frightening expressions.  You could tell the boy had been crying, and my friend gave him a hug.  In this one hug, probably one of the most heart-felt and compassionate, you could just see the pain flowing out of this kid.  Thats when all of a sudden the main nurse drove up in their car.  She ordered them to get in the car quick and to stop talking to us.  We gave the guy a phone number he could call for help and my heart broke to pieces even more when she tore up the information we gave the guy.  The nurse's aggressive behavior towards us just shocked the teens and they left without knowing where to go to next. 

This is something a 16 year old shouldnt have to worry about.  Should i abort my baby or not? What if my parents find out i'm pregnant? What if my parents find out about my abortion? What will people say at school? What if I dont have the funds? Will i be condemned? Will I be forgiven? Who can help me?

There is help.  Thats why we're at the clinic, offering absolutely ANYTHING the person might need. 

This is something a 16 year old specially shouldnt have to worry about. We all make mistakes, two wrongs dont make a right.  There is help.  Free help.

This still breaks my heart. This child would be 5 years old. :( As I analyze the situation, this was a huge battle between good and evil. The mom chose to have an abortion and we did what we could to inform her. Even as my friend offered  help for after abortion, the clinic RN took away their chance to seek healing. If you're so pro-choice, then why don't you reach out to your clients after abortion? Abortion is a big lie. It doesn't solve problems. Good news is that God forgives and heals. If you've had an abortion and would like to talk to someone, you can email me, prolifegaby@gmail.com or call 915-564-4444 for confidential help.
