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.

 🙏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 mask while talk

  The Pass 🙌 I met Anna at the Fresno Fair where Right to Life was hosting a booth. She was working there and stopped at our booth. She was looking around. She lingered, in my opinion, just a little too long. She was asking lots of curious questions. My pro life advocate intuition started to work so I asked her what was going on and if she was pregnant. Anna said she was. She thought she might be about four months pregnant. I invited her to sit and talk. She told me her story as it stood. She is a mother of two already and the father of the children is involved. He's leaving the military for medical reasons and looking for his next venture. He doesn't think this is a good time to have another baby because they already have one that is only seven months old. She knows she wants to keep the baby because she believes in choosing life but she is nervous and feels unsupported. We talked about all of the resources that are available to her and all the things Right to Life will do to

High Five ✋  My coworker and I stand outside of Planned Parenthood almost daily. We truly are trying to save a life or two. Actually when it comes down to it we are  trying to save families. When you do this day in and day out and it gets difficult because we measure our accomplishments the same way we measure any accomplishment. We look for results. If nobody changes their mind then we feel like we are failures. There are a lot of feelings of failure because we dont always get to know the outcome of our presence. . Fortunately there are two of us working so we keep each other from going too far down the path of doubt. We also remind each other how much Satan is involved in this.  The flip side is that when someone does change their mind it feels like you hit a home run. We  even do funny things like high five when someone leaves after telling us they are changing their mind and keeping the baby. Last week we talked to two women in a row who chose life. One seemed to be on the fence. T
