Broken

💔

Some circumstances shock me more than others. This is one. Last week I stood outside of Planned Parenthood, a car pulled up and I asked the driver, a woman in her late teens, if she needed a pregnancy test. She responded that she did not. I asked if she was pregnant and she said that she was not but her thirteen year old baby sister was.  The elder sister just dropped off the baby sister to get a surgical abortion. I explained to the elder sister the abortion-related increased risk of maternal suicide, depression, anxiey, drug addiction and alcholism. She responded that she already knew this. I begged the elder sister to enter the facility and pull out the baby sister so that I could fully apprise the latter of her options. The elder sister refused. I said, “This must be killing you.” She responded, “No, not really.” 

To all of this I ask, “what have we done?”. What has happened in this world to cause big sisters to feel no remorse, fear or sorrow about taking their baby sisters to an abortion facilty to have a surgical abortion. How is this situation possible? Thirteen year olds can be removed from homes in which they are subject to violence or neglect.  Yet they are unprotected by the law viz-a-viz abortion, in that a thirteen year old can have a violent, unborn life-ending surgery without consent of any adult. The same people who fight for the right to abort their children because they are concerned about the abusive foster care system are also looking away when a child is clearly being directly abused and neglected in an abortion facility because the law  “protects” them. We are obviously promoting and protecting evil. 

This scenario was one of the worst I’ve known of since I’ve been an advocate. I’ve cried after talking to several abortion-minded mothers but this was the scenario that stays with me. I fight to keep it from festering with what ifs. It makes me want to quit what I do so that I don’t have to see the truth of what is really happening. Paradoxically, it makes me want to stay…. To make a difference.

📱📱 Emergency Power 📱📱 Q . What were you thinking when you first found out your partner was pregnant? A . My first thoughts were a bit scrambled.  Joy, anxiousness, pride, uncertainty.  I was so happy when we found out though, I just knew we would make it work. Q . Whose idea was it to go to Planned Parenthood? A . It was her idea, she wasn’t sure if I was going to rise to the occasion and be able to provide the support and stability her and the baby needed.  Because I knew it was her choice, I maintained a supportive stance while explaining my preference and willingness to commit so she would consider what I had to say instead of just going in out of spite. Q . What were your thoughts as you entered the parking lot? A . That I should have tied her up and not let her go anywhere near the place!  Obviously, that would have done more harm than good for everyone involved but that honestly was what I was thinking. Q . Did our presence and/or the signs make an impac...

 👿 C onflict 😇 We had a terrible day. It was one of terrible sadness and a feeling of helplessness. The situation happened with a couple with a young baby and a baby on the way. The mom didnt think she could handle another baby. The father said he was willing to do whatever was needed to support the family. He`d told her exactly this. Unfortunately the mother to be was already inside the Planned Parenthood facility.  Two of us were talking to the father. While he comforted his baby.He was taking care of his baby and going back and forth into Planned Parenthood to try to get his partner to come out. He went in three times. Our security guard coached him on what to say. He came out each time without her. He continued to talk to her on the phone and this gave me an opportunity to talk to her.  Nothing worked. Twice she told me she'd meet me on the sidewalk. She did not.  At a certain point she told us that she didn't think the staff would let her leave. I responded to...

 🙏Truth Talk Things dont always go well on the sidewalk in front of Planned Parenthood. Today was a glaring reminder. The truth of the reality of the definition of a bad day as an advocate needs to be known. It is the only way we can begin to  win the war. It is my opinion that until one actually sees the truth of evil it is hard to believe it exists. The abortion industry is pure evil disguised by a vale of deception. It is an industry that makes money by killing the next generation. It`s an industry that destroys families. People who are pro choice choose, yes, I said choose, because “choice” is what the pro abortion movement is all about, to look away from the truth of what is happening. Death by abortion is happening every single day. Appointments to abort a baby at 16 weeks gestation are happening every day. In fact I watched it happen today.  The mother in this situation is 19 years old. She has a job at Amazon and is so conscientious about health that she wore a m...
