Don't Kill Your Baby: What Really Happens Outside Abortion Clinics
Marie Claire ^ | October 6, 2014 | Diana Pearl

Posted on 10/06/2014 3:28:37 PM PDT by Idaho_Cowboy

It was a warm day, as it typically is in Florida, and Kelsey McLain, a then 25-year-old in the first trimester of pregnancy, along with her mother, entered the parking lot of the closest abortion clinic near her home. At first, the car couldn't push much further than the driveway, as sign-wielding protestors approached the front of her vehicle. Her mother was behind the wheel, and with her foot on the brake, she gave the road blockers a choice of moving, or getting run over. They conceded, and moved to the side—but McLain's interaction with the protesters didn't end there. Upon exiting the car, louder shouts and yells greeted her, accusing her of turning her back on them, of not wanting to know the truth.

The group of twelve brandish signs showing photos of aborted fetuses with the word "murder" splashed across them in big block letters. McLain felt anger bubble up inside of her, but resisted the urge to lash out. She dashed inside the clinic, her mother close behind her.

"It wasn't what I needed to deal with that day," McLain recalled.

So sad how people can be so self focused when ending the life of a child.

I have always believed adoption was the logical choice in most cases unless the couple decides to marry. However, in this age of gay marriage you run the risk of the child being placed in a perverse lifestyle situation. Time to resurrect sexual morals and abstinence.

Okay let me tell you what really happened that day.....

The girl was pregnant and driven to the clinic by force of her mother. She was crying the whole way. She saw the protesters and wanted to run to them but was frozen. When she got out of the car her mom drug her by the arm into the clinic. While in the clinic she cried along with the other girls in the clinic. She could see the protesters from the window and wished as hard as she could to run to them. She did not want to do this. Next thing she knew she was on the table and felt the pain of the abortion. She felt her soul leave her body, but she did not die that was her baby dying. She went home and was/is depress and has suicidal thoughts. She is angry at her mom for making her do this but she does not say so. She broke up with the boy who got her pregnant. She may or may not become a clinic escort, as the story says. If she does it’s to calm her mind, to say “it’s okay” but it’s not okay.

Pray for her. Pray for her mom. Pray for all of these people.

All they have to do is say no. I’m not a father because I live a celibate life. That’s what I want.

You could bet all your money that this girl will get pregnant again, and next time will keep her baby. Happens all the time when moms do that.

So her mother brought her to a clinic to have an abortion. I bet neither of them gave a thought to the fact that there was a time in both their lives that her mother could have taken her to the clinic to be aborted.

If she can get pregnant. Sometimes after an abortion you cannot conceive when you are ready to have a baby. Abortions sometimes do something to the cervix and you cannot get pregnant.

I think they must have pulled it. I can't seem to locate it again. I had found it on Yahoo and don't see it there anymore either. Hmmm indeed.

The linked article does seem to have been pulled from this horrid publication.

Here’s another sick article I found on their site....it lists *ways* that CPC’s *mislead* pregnant women seeking abortions.....they even did a documentary on it. These are some evil and hate-filled writers/producers.....

Documentary Exposes The Lies Women Are Fed At Crisis Pregnancy Centers
Women are misled through vague advertising, false warnings about the health risks of abortion, and more.

Jane...Did you ever just think that we are lost this fight because there are far more citizens in our country in favor of abortion then there are willing to fight to stop it? That’s exactly what I’m hearing and seeing...and our numbers are growing smaller.

The time to have fought this was Roe-Vs Wade and the silence from the population even then was pretty much nil. So this is what the people wanted not only for our nation..but we’re exporting it as well.....God is angry.....

Time to resurrect sexual morals and abstinence.

Too bad it seems so hard these days to give girls and young women something besides a bad choice (out of wedlock pregnancy) and a far, far worse one (abortion, murder of the child).

For every girl agonizing over an unplanned pregnancy, there is some cad (yes I said cad) just offstage, who told her "put out or get out." Male sexual behavior is the ONE thing people NEVER discuss. And why not?

Just the other day I overheard a phone conversation from some anguished college-age girl who was trying to get birth control ("but they make me jump through all these hoops") and said her "boyfriend" had told her, "well, we can always use a condom." Consider how the contraceptive pills and coils screw up a healthy young female body designed to get pregnant and have babies. And to this girl, her contraceptive plan was more important than her toothpaste. Her ability to stay in what passes for a "relationship" these days depended on it.

Whatever happened to love and romance? Whatever happened to longing, and waiting, and lifetime devotion?

I agree. But, I’m not going to ever give up hope, or stop praying, for a revival...of morals and faith in God, and for the protection of life of our innocents.

Well God makes it clear there will be a falling away from Him as that time approaches...not a revival....and it looks to me like we're heading that direction faster than any of us would like. Of course we don't give up hope that life can be saved, from the unborn to all who have yet to be saved. But I don't have reason to hope for revival..I think we've past that now.

What I do pray is that those who God knows will come do so before it's too late...and as for abortions...we fight those battles one on one, at least I do here in my hometown, but 'politically' I think it remains a done deal...just as homosexual marriages are coming if or not we like it....there just are not enough folks opposing the direction our country is barreling down... as our nation more and more abandons God.

Now with that I would say maybe this next election can change the tide...that remains to be seen. But I just don't trust the American people anymore...too many are NOT Americans...but something else.
