It is horrifying to hear about the "abortion vulnerable scale" and to know how at least one CPC fails to support the women who have already decided they want to give birth.<br /><br />Please know that you don't have to become a clinic escort. I agree with what the anonymous commenter above said, you are giving back already just by writing your story. <br /><br />Consider, as well, that there are likely to be several other women in your church or PTA who have had abortions. While some of them may regret their decisions, others may simply not want to think about their past choices due to the current tension around the abortion issue in the community. You are probably not as alone as you think you are.kahrinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2586437365558789154.post-4199208862443634082009-10-26T19:38:02.478-07:002009-10-26T19:38:02.478-07:00Oh Rosa, this story is heart breaking! I was very...Oh Rosa, this story is heart breaking! I was very "pro-life" myself until my 17 year old daughter came home from school one day crying and told me she was pregnant. Her boyfriend was standing there with her holding her hand. Although I'm sure he was scared to death! What surprised me was my response. I really learned something about myself: I asked simply, "What do you want to do?" She said she did not want to be pregnant. She didn't use the A word because she knew how I felt but I said to her, it just came pouring out, "Honey, if you want an abortion then we will go to a clinic and we will talk to someone about it." And that was that. How caring and compassionate all the counselors and doctors were! They took such care in helping her decide if she really wanted the abortion or if she might benefit better from an alternative. I was with her holding her hand when the abortion was performed. I felt no remorse for what I should have thought was my "grandchild" because I was just there being a Mom to my little girl. I never begrudged her for it because she was a responsible young woman who got into trouble as so many her age do. It goes to show, most pro-lifers are those who have never loved someone who really TRULY needed a Choice. You never can tell. I thought I'd share my "turn around" story as well, you are not alone.Terrinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2586437365558789154.post-27382644544347805962009-10-24T22:32:01.804-07:002009-10-24T22:32:01.804-07:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Amateur comunity datinghttp://www.presentscort.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2586437365558789154.post-43483703723877383922009-10-23T11:30:40.711-07:002009-10-23T11:30:40.711-07:00Your story is so incredible, and very moving.

I hope that you have found a lot of support (and that us folks on the internet can act as a support system, even though we may never meet face to face!). <br />I can't imagine the strain that a person feels when they come from a background with such strong beliefs and then have to independently question those beliefs, without the support of the community they've depended on. <br />I wish you all the best, and I hope that you find a lot of love and support! <br />Also, please keep in mind that while escorting is one way that people work for what they feel is right, what you are doing is SO important to! Telling your story is very powerful, so don't underestimate your impact!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2586437365558789154.post-29629601709297425312009-10-22T09:54:15.045-07:002009-10-22T09:54:15.045-07:00Escort,
I have been reading your blog for a while ...Escort,<br />I have been reading your blog for a while now and truly appreciate what you do. Even during my exploits on the "other side" I appreciated the respect you escorts showed the women you were helping by not screaming back at us. It must take a lot of self control!<br /><br />I would love to help escort, but as I've said I still work amongst the same women and men who protest that clinic in church and PTA, and for the sake of my children I think I should just remain in the background for a while. But if I have a change of heart I will most certainly be contacting that clinic. You do great things for women facing incredibly difficult times.Rosahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11358729288001549019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2586437365558789154.post-19028266149892077872009-10-20T19:16:44.175-07:002009-10-20T19:16:44.175-07:00Thanks for writing this.

Thank you for speaking out about your experience.<br /><br />Abortion is a very personal choice. I know why I did it, and I have no regrets about what I did. But I can't justify that to someone who refuses to listen to me, which is what happens with women like Kathy.<br /><br />If you respect women, you will allow each woman to make her own choice. You will give her the information and resources she needs, and let her make her own choice. That's why we fight, but it's something so basic that if you don't instinctively know it and feel it, nobody can explain it to you. Which is why some Kathies will never "get it."Criss L.
