All over the United States, there are church ministries that do, in fact, lend tremendous support to poor women who decide not to abort.

In Connecticut, where I lived until 6 years ago, these included a Pentecostal church, Living Word Ministries of West Haven, Connecticut, which has stockpiled and distributed diapers, clothing, food, and many other necessities to be distributed to such mothers. An interior wall of that church building has the photgraphs of hundreds of children who were born because the members of that church persuaded their mothers not to abort them. The persuasion took place on each and every killing day at Summit Women's Center in Bridgeport. To thwart such successful efforts to interfere with the baby-killing, Summit Killing Center moved to the upper floors of an office building and abandoned the free-standing building that it used for more than 25 years.

Parishioners of St. Agatha's (?) Roman Catholic Church in Milford, Connecticut have, for many years, been picking up discarded furniture on "large trash pickup days" in Connecticut, brought same to their Church basement for the men of the parish to rehabilitate, re-upholster and repair and to be given to mothers who decided against abortion. They also find and pay for apartments for these women and their children and remain available to help them thereafter.

Women whose minds were changed against abortion have made a practice (in their poverty) of inviting some of the sidewalk counselors (elderly and single) to their homes for Thanksgiving and Christmas.

There is a lot of the love of Jesus Christ going on out there without government subsidy.

The Knights of Columbus councils that I am acquainted with do much both monetarily and physically to help keep the Right to Life establishments going.

We have always dedicated much of our funds to the needy mothers and their (and the babies') welfare. Since it is given in the spirit of true charity by real people (as opposed to faceless, nameless, government bureaucracy), the gratitude and the appreciation are incredible to behold. As opposed to the entitlement attitude taken by the welfare queens who merely take what they can.

"There is a lot of the love of Jesus Christ going on out there without government subsidy."

And that's truly good news. I hadn't heard about those specific ministries in CT.
