Family Planning Associates, Maramar Rd., San Diego – May 28, 2011
There were 3 sidewalk counselors and about 5 prayer warriors throughout the morning.
Terry intercepted a young couple entering from the Carroll Road entrance. After introducing herself, she asked the couple for their first names. The young woman ”M” quietly told her without looking at Terry. The young man said nothing. Terry than revealed the horrific medical malpractice history of the abortionist, illustrating how the abortion is performed, what the baby looks like after it is slaughtered & how very dangerous it is . She showed the picture of a six week old unborn baby to both of them. “M” readily took the picture and began to stroke it. The young man, immediately, became sarcastic and began to laugh. The young woman, however, began to tear up with streams of tears running down her face. Noticing a child’s car seat in the back, Terry addressed the young woman by telling her she knew she knew she was a wonderfully strong mother who would do anything to protect her babies. “M” turned and looked at Terry when Terry said “No matter what you are facing, no matter how scared you are, there is a little baby inside of you that desperately needs your protection. There’s nothing you are facing that we can’t help you with” and then gave her the COLFS information telling her “Please leave this place of death and call this number”. “Your babies need you to be strong, now, listen to your heart”. A new guard, suddenly appeared, and yelling, told them they had move (no one was behind, in front, next to, or anywhere near them). The young man, then, spoke up and said to “M”, ”Pull in, now!”. “M”, pushing his arm away and still crying, smiled shyly at Terry, thanked her & drove in and right out the other end of the parking lot.
Please pray for ”M” that they continue to give life to their baby.
Roger spoke with a couple who were in their late 20′s. The woman was driving, and the man who was with her was in the passenger seat. Roger explained the litigation history of the doctor, and that abortion mills tend to attract doctors with a history of problems, and that most doctors will have nothing to do with abortions, since they want to save lives, not kill babies and ruin a woman’s life. The woman was amazed at the doctor’s history, including probation, and listenend carefully when told about the risks and side effects of an abortion. He asked the woman if she was scheduled for an abortion this morning, and she said she thought she was pregnant, but wanted to have a test. He asked her, “What will you do if you find out you are pregnant? Is an abortion an option?” She smiled and said, “Oh no… I’m just here for a test”. He told them they could call COLFS for an appointment to see a doctor this morning for a free ultrasound, and that FPA does abortions Saturday mornings, and would try to talk her into an abortion. She thanked him and drove into the lot, parking right in front of the abortion mill. They waiting inside the car a few minutes, then her car door opened. A few minutes later his door opened. They sat with the doors open another 5 minutes, then walked up into the mill. They were inside more than 2.5 hours for a “simple pregnancy test”, and were still inside when we left.
Terry then intercepted two young women who were about to go up to the abortion mill. “I” who was the one who was going to have the abortion looked petrified. However, her girlfriend kept interrupting Terry telling “I” “This is your decision”. Addressing “I” directly, Terry said to her, “Your friend is right. It is your decision not anyone else’s. You are the one who will live with the haunting of knowing your allowed your unborn baby to be butchered on this day in May” showing her a post aborted baby picture. Adding, “You don’t have to do this. There is so much help out there. We can help you. Please give yourself the time to think about this. Once that trigger is pulled, you can’t take the bullet back.” “I” stood frozen when Terry showed her the physical & emotional consequences of any abortion. Then she shared with her all the women she has spoken to who were hurt either physically or emotionally and why. “I’s” girlfriend seemed to be the one pushing “I” to have the abortion, even though she repeatedly said “This is your decision”. Sensing (through the Holy Spirit) they were about to go up, Terry said “Please, go to your car, think about all that I have told you, all that is available to help you. You are scared now, and may feel this is your only answer. It is not. There is only one answer that you can live with, that will not bring regret, remorse and worse, that will bring you untold blessings that you cannot envision right now. Please let me help you”. They, then, walked back to the car and sat for about 20 minutes (many times this is an indicator they will leave). However, this time, “I”‘s girlfriend exited her door and walked over to “I’s” side. Walking past Terry, without saying a word, Terry told “I” “Make him (the abortionist) show you the sonogram. This is important for your safety. Don’t let him touch you without seeing a clear image on that screen” as they entered FPA. “May God bless you”.
The next couple Terry intercepted, “J” & “R”, informed Terry that they had to return to FPA because something went wrong when they had an abortion at FPA five weeks ago. “J” told Terry that she was still bleeding and that the abortionist had left tissue (fetal parts) inside of her. Terry informed J” of all the other gross negligence’s where he had done the same thing and, strongly, encouraged her to call the California Medical Board letting her know she could provide her with the information on how to go about doing this. She then, told “J” she shouldn’t go back into FPA, that she should call COLFS and get in to see a competent doctor right away.. “J” took the information, asked Terry for her name and phoned COLFS. “J” was seen today at COLFS. Before they left, Terry handed them a rosary.
Please pray for this young couple.
The last couple Terry spoke to came for the RU-486 (chemical abortion pill). Terry asked “C” (19) & “R” (21) if they knew how the RU-486 worked and then explained, in detail, what is, what it does, and how dangerous it is. She then asked them why they wanted to have an abortion. They told her “it is not the right time in our lives”. Terry told them the “right time is when you are carrying a live human being inside of you. The right time is now”. Sensing, again, strong emotional feelings coming from “C’s” boyfriend, “R”, she said “I am sensing such warmth & love from you, “J”. You would do anything to protect this baby, that you would stand by and with “C” and support your child forever. You want this baby”. ”R” began to tear up and looked at “C” who was, slowly, beginning to waver. After telling Terry they wanted to discuss this between them, Terry (though not moving far) gave them a few minutes and then said “Tell me, exactly, what your fears are”. They, then, told her both would be homeless (“kicked out of their parent’s homes”) and neither had a job. “J” had recently broken booth his arms and “C” was scheduled for some surgery (gastro). “C” was very fearful of her parent’s anger. They told Terry they had taken the bus to FPA and walked over two miles to get there. Terry informed them of all the resources available and how horrific killing their own flesh and blood would be. “C” told Terry “Many people said they’d be there for me and then they leave”. Terry told her she was sorry so many people let her down and that she didn’t deserve that, but she felt “C” was a good young woman and would make a wonderful mother, and that she was so very blessed to have such a warm loving, young man who was so willing to stand by her, who loved her and her baby, adding “while you have not been together as a couple very long, you have created life, a baby, a child who shares your blood”. She then spoke to them for awhile longer about their fears, stresses and doubts, as well as adoption (which, by this time, she had convinced them was a very viable option for many young people). Terry then said, ” Please let me take you to COLFS. You can see how far along you are, learn of all that we can do to help you, and begin your very young lives with a blessing”. After further discussion and emotions, “C” said, ”Okay you can take us to COLFS, we would like to see the ultra-sound”. Once in the car, the young couple began to fall in love with their unborn baby they hadn’t seen on the ultra-sound yet. Still frightened of all that awaited them for choosing life, they became more and more convinced that “they could do this, no matter what, with help”. Once inside COLFS and after seeing their tiny baby on the ultra-sound, “J” wept openly. Then they both hugged and cried together. Dr. Saroki and Terry left them alone, to celebrate and share their happiness and love. Upon return, “C” said to Terry “You are an angel. You are my angel and then “J” grabbed “C” and Terry all hugged all. They asked Terry for her phone number and let her know they were so happy they met her, that they couldn’t believe what would have happened if she wasn’t there. Terry, then, drove them home and made arrangements for them to return to COLFS the following week(s). Both “C” and “J” were excited beyond words. Please pray for this young couple who will need housing, employment and the strength to face the anger & abandonment they fear will come from their parents, and perhaps others in their lives..
Please pray for all these couples. They all count on & need your prayers.
Yours in Christ,
Terry, Roger, and David
