– From a letter written by Luis Mendoza
We were blessed with two prayer warriors and a Christian gentleman named Paul who helps with the sidewalk counseling. A Hispanic woman in her mid-30s and her 12-year-old son approached the abortion mill. I intercepted them just a few feet from the mill’s door. I told them about how this abortuary had been in the news lately because of the arrest of the owner, who was allegedly doing abortions without a medical license. (See “Subjected to pain and risk of great bodily injury,” California Catholic Daily, June 23, 2008.)
As I was showing them a front-page article entitled, “Doctors Without Licenses” in a local Spanish-language newspaper, a heavyset medical assistant opened the front door. With a demonic grin on her face, she told the woman to come in so that she would not miss her appointment — and to ignore us because we are just protestors.
About 30 minutes after the abortionist arrived, the woman and her son left the mill. She told me that she had decided to leave because the abortionist really was pressuring her to have this abortion. She came to this mill because a doctor in Tijuana had told her that the rubella vaccination she had could have affected her baby. The doctor suggested she go see a doctor who could check out the health of the baby. If the baby was damaged, she may want to consider an abortion.
The woman said that the Clinica Medica abortionist told her that she was four months pregnant. She said she knew that this was a lie because she knew when her menstrual cycle had stopped. She believes he was saying this to charge more money since a second trimester abortion costs more than one in the first trimester. When the woman said she wanted to think this over, the abortionist got really pushy, she said, telling her the procedure was quick and it was best to do it now. She got very angry with his pushiness, she said, and left. She asked for directions to the Culture of Life Family Services clinic, so I gave her a COLFS brochure that contains a map. She said she would make an appointment to go there as soon as possible. I also gave her a Rosary. This woman’s name begins with “M.” Please keep her in your prayers.

It is a real shame that this business of Abortion is so profitable. Money (like many idols in the world) makes people lose sight of the things that are really important. Things like this woman and her baby, their lives and relationships with others. I continue to Pray for the reversal of Roe vs. Wade.

I have linked to your post from Planned Parenthood pushing Sex, Abortion, and now stepping into the 2008 presidential campaign
Although your post is not directly related to Planned Parenthood, I think it is still worth linking to your post.
