As someone coerced into an abortion as a teen, I know all too well the repercussions of abortion. I also know countless numbers of women believe that if they terminate an unplanned pregnancy, life will return to the way it was before the pregnancy.
Because of this knowledge, I brought a sign I had made as an effort to get those entering the abortion facility to know that just is not true, and to offer concrete help. It says: “I had an abortion. Life does not go back to normal. Save your baby and yourself! Call 800-723-8331.”
As Mass was about to end that morning, we could hear the chants outside by the radical group NYC for Abortion Rights. They were determined to block our path to the abortion center while hurling chants our way.
Our society has gone way past the “safe and rare” sold us when abortion was legalized. We have come to a place of abortion any time, for any reason.
We now use these poor babies for experimentation, and no one blinks an eye. They are sold on the market, and the silence from so-called leaders and even citizens is deafening.
Just last week, the body of a baby was found in the trash at an Ohio abortion center, and two abortionists from New Mexico were caught experimenting on women who came to their facilities. When will it end? What will be too much? How did we get here?
Towards the end of the day as we were in front of Planned Parenthood, I happened to drop my sign. One of the young women with the pro-abortion group picked it up and would not give it back to me. Instead, she got a magic marker and wrote on the opposite side “God loves abortion.” A police officer saw and made her return it to me.
I could not help but think how her actions proved how true my sign really was. This was not normal behavior.
