The Unborn, Abortion, Voting, Fatima # 7
Thursday, Aug. 2, 2007
This is page 7 transcribed from a tape by Father Greg Staab, titled, What Happened at Fatima? This tape M 1273 is available at St. Joseph Radio in the city of Orange. (714) 744-0336.
“As Frederica Matthews Green a Feminist for Life of America stated, ‘No woman wants an abortion as she wants an ice cream cone or a Porsche. She wants an abortion as an animal caught in a trap wants to gnaw off its own leg. She feels like there is kind of no hope, no alternative for her.’
“Most if not all counselors and researchers on both sides of the political issue would agree that most abortion decisions involve elements of fear and despair on the part of a woman, What abortion counselors fail to tell women who are choosing abortion is that the loss of their leg, the loss of their child will leave them crippled for life in many ways.
“Crisis Pregnancy Centers where pro-lifers are committed to save the woman and her child note and tell them there is hope. There is hope, and there are alternatives. You don’t have to have the abortion. That’s the message of the Church, the message of Christ.
“There is hope you don’t have to have an abortion. And in fact it is amazing the charity that exists in our country. There is a whole series of 1-800 numbers that women can call. You can call them 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. You call that number somebody will always be there to answer the phone. They will the person a place to stay if they can’t stay with their family or their friends. They will give them medical attention. They will give them counseling. They will give them maternity clothes, clothes for their children. They will give them counseling for adopting services.
“I am just going to give you one of them here. It’s 1-800-848-LOVE, 1-800-848-LOVE, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, somebody is there to answer the phone and to help the person to know there is hope, there is {are} alternatives. One of the things too about women who are in the situation; as they’re in crisis. They are in a time of crisis. What happens to people when they are in a time of crisis? They give away their power to make decisions. They are not capable in making decisions. When people are in a crisis, they are nervous. What do they do? They listen to the people around them. And they are strongly influenced by the people around them. And because of that 50% of women who have had abortions claim if somebody had just been there to support me and tell me to have my child and to note that it would be a good thing to have a child. They said that they would have had the child.
“What often times happens is that they go to the abortion mill, the abortion chamber and what do they hear there? What is the abortion industry about? It’s about selling abortions. That’s what they are in business for, that’s how they make their money. So when the person comes there, they are trained actually and they’ll try to convince the person to have the abortion.
“They’ll make the person feel guilty if they don’t have the abortion. Who is going to pay for all of this? And they’ll go through how much money it costs to raise a child today. And you are going to put this burden on your parents, on your boy friend. You’re being selfish. So this person who is in crisis and who doesn’t often times even want to talk about it will go through the abortion….”
