RE: Conversations at the Abortion Clinic
Did this as a young child through the influence of parents. If you are open to discussion what is your motivation in doing this? It's a traumatizing and very hard decision for women and their families and people with ideals "ministering" to them tend to cause even more turmoil and unnecessary pain for having to make this tough decision.
Thank you for your honesty and bravery. This is not an easy subject.
Yes, I am open to a discussion. Our motivation at this clinic was always the well being of the ladies and men involved. The particular doctor at this clinic was well known for botching his procedure, and we openly shared that information so the individuals could make an informed decision.
Aside from that, we had the encouragement of people who came back after they chose life, and told us to keep doing what we were doing.
I’m sure we could enter into the ideals of the situation if you wish. Again, thank you for your honesty.
Thank you for your engagement. I am happy for the people that you were able to help and if the doctor is in fact engaged in malpractice I would definitely encourage you to report that to the appropriate authorities as there are lawful standards that should be upheld for any medical procedure.
And yes ideally I think this type of energy and passion can be more effective if devoted to children who are already born and are not able to be taken care of and are in (in many cases terrible situations) foster care or neglectful homes. I want to stress that these women are in a place in which they feel they can not adequately care for a child, dire medical situations, or they are just not prepared for children. And as morally right as you feel it is, it is psychologically horrifying for strangers and in many, many cases men to shout their personal ideals at the vulnerable. I know you see it from your perspective but I’ve been on both sides as I mentioned before I have for years protested in front of abortion clinics and I think it’s important to keep in mind the woman and her choices. She’s not a vehicle to just produce babies with no personal goals or autonomy. So many things in life are not just black and white there are so many other factors that come into play that go into these tough decisions.
I hope the kindness that you showed me here you continue to show the people you meet daily. As your openness will help to keep people with differences discussing and learning from each other to elevate society. Peace to you.
Amen. There are so many sad stories of ladies who just don’t know what else to do. I agree, it is a trauma filled situation to be in. We seek to be gracious and help connect the individuals there to a crisis pregnancy center and meet financial or personal needs.
Thank you for your kind words and caring perspective. Peace to you as well.
