With most babies now protected, pregnancy centers step up to take care of mothers
On a busy Tuesday at the Fifth Ward Pregnancy Help Center in Houston, a young woman burst into the lobby holding up a picture of the abortion pill on her phone. Screaming and crying with tears streaming down her face, she demanded, “I want this! Give me this!” The flustered staff ushered her into the conference room with the center’s executive director, Shayla Gaitor, who sat down across from her at the table and asked her what was wrong. As the woman vented, she slammed her hands on the table and sometimes almost launched at Gaitor. “Just give me the abortion! I want the abortion!” she yelled.
Gaitor said she eventually learned the woman had seen something on television about the state’s new heartbeat law, which would go into effect the next day, making it illegal to obtain an abortion after a baby has a detectable heartbeat. Thinking she was pregnant, the woman rushed to the pro-life center where she had received help while pregnant with her now 1-year-old son, frantic to get an abortion out of fear that having another child would break her already fragile financial situation.
The center staff gave the young woman a pregnancy test. It came back negative. She calmed down, and the staff had a chance to pray with her. They sent her away with diapers and wipes for her 1-year-old.
But Gaitor said that experience was a wake-up call.
Clients usually don’t arrive at the center until about noon, but that morning three had already shown up before the center opened at 9 a.m. She said some had come because they were considering an abortion and were in a hurry to know how far along they were.

SCOTUS may yet revoke this law, but while it is in effect the women of Texas may be able to see the care and compassion of the pro-life movement.
Believers and other pro-life folk have a chance to care for women and show them we care as much for them as we do their children.
World Magazine does a pretty good job covering the topics without a leftist slant.
You got that one right.
👍
‘ SCOTUS may yet revoke this law,’
Where do people come up with this crap?
I cannot fathom the bloodlust some women display in their desire to slaughter their own offspring.
Without natural affection indeed.
I feel sorry for their other kids. I cannot imagine what it’s like having a mother who is willing to kill you for convenience sake.
Vice President Ho is NOT a good role model.
It is so pathetic how unmarried women have unprotected sex with irresponsible men and have no concept of conception!
I thought we were/are paying for sex education - which used to be a parental responsibiity.
God help us.
Why do these women think it’s virtually impossible to avoid getting pregnant?
“It is so pathetic how unmarried women have unprotected sex with irresponsible men and have no concept of conception!”
^^^This^^^ is so true. Guttmacher Institute data show that half of women seeking abortion did not use birth control in the month they became pregnant.
Feminists always say women need better access to birth control, but actually birth control needs access to better women.
Women need better access to self-control, but they get no help from the culture.
