Turn Away😊

One of the goals of a pro life advocate is encourage someone intending to walk into an abortion center to turn away and get back in their car to go to a health care clinic or pregnancy care center instead. Logic says that this should happen anytime someone stops to talk to one of us. The truth is that it rarely happens. In fact when it does it is almost shocking. Today a couple, a woman who was with a male partner walked up to talk to me and took the flier with the information about all of the other resources and walked back to her partner. They started to walk towards the clinic and turned around to walk back to the car and drove out of the parking lot. The man shouted “we are keeping it”. I can't say for sure if he was serious but I do know that this turn away bought the mother in crisis time to think. I don't know where they were planning to go or even if they were bluffing and planning to go back to the wbortion center. None of this matters because she seemed stressed about walking in and this little change bought her time. It bought her time if she is pregnant and just as importantly it bought her time to have a chance to be in control of her circumstances. She is also now armed with several options for care. These options range from Obria, the pro life women's healthcare center to pregnancy care center and a list of federally qualified health care centers. She didn't have any of this in her arsenal when she drove in. During a second thought she chose life for the time being. We can hope and pray that she will ,because of that pivot, continue to choose life.
