Pro Active prolife
This was posted on After Abortion, a great blog for those who have stumbled, fallen, and have rediscovered the grace of God and how he can change things. Read about Annie's experience on the front lines. I found this passage particularly moving:
There are people helping people non-judgmentally like this all around the country. Over 3,400 confidential and totally free groups to call and go to in the U.S. alone. 1,400 outside the U.S. Some work from the sidewalks, like my friends. Most don’t but have downtown, storefront locations where the girls can go to get all this help. And as I’ve said elsewhere, if a woman with a crisis pregnancy finds one place a little too "Bible-thumping" for her liking (yes, they’re out there, I’m afraid), then call up the next one, and the next one, until you get the ones that are not. There are at least 38 such places all over Connecticut. All operating on donations and volunteers’ time.
Many girls and women change their minds, even after they’ve gone inside the abortion clinic for hours. They are shocked that someone—many someones—are there to help them, not hurt them. To not take a dime of their money, instead of asking for the $550 it costs for the abortion of a 3-month-old fetus or $3,000 if the baby is further along.
