I found out that a priest, Fr. Al Lauer, prayed the rosary with a group of people on Mondays. God was calling me there on Mondays. Since I had some young children at the time, my mother agreed to watch them for me on Mondays. When I first started sidewalk counseling, there were not many crisis pregnancy centers around, so I basically had to talk them out of abortion.
Abortion is probably the greatest abuse against women.
It not only affects the woman, but also her mother, father, boyfriend or husband, and her other children, sisters and brothers. God will forgive anyone, any sin, if the person is truly sorry, but the woman has a very hard time forgiving herself. John and Sheila Kippley, founders of the Couple to Couple League, are members of my parish and I get some pamphlets from them. By the grace of god, many women, over the years, have gone with me to the crisis pregnancy center. Fortunately, there is one just two blocks from Planned Parenthood.
