Recently I spent the day with one of my granddaughters.
She’ll be a senior in high school next year. We spoke of many things, but one
stands out in my memory. She told me of accompanying a friend to a Planned
Parenthood facility. Her friend’s mother instructed her to go there to get a
pregnancy test. I’ll let you hear the conversation we had.
“Mandy’s * mother was out of town so Mandy asked me to go
with her.”
“Why didn’t she get a pregnancy test at the drugstore?”
My granddaughter shrugged. “Her mom wanted her to make sure
the test was accurate. When we got there the door was locked, so we rang the
bell. A big blurry guard came to the door.”
“Wha’dda want?” he asked.
“We’re here for a pregnancy test.”
“The guard eyed us up and down and then said, “Go back to
your car. Leave all cell phones, cameras, and recording devices. Then come
back.”
“We did as he asked. When we came back a person behind the
desk asked us if we had any recording or camera equipment with us. We said we didn’t.
Then she shoved a paper at us to sign stating the same. We signed it. Then she
warned us we would be in big trouble if we were lying. She directed us to have
a seat in the empty waiting area.
“The nurse came out and told Mandy to follow her.”
Mandy asked, “Can my friend come with me?”
“Absolutely not!”
My granddaughter continued, “My friend told me when she got
back there, four women employees laughed and joked like this was some regular
office gathering around the water cooler. Mandy took the test and it came back
negative.
“After the test, the nurse talked with her for a while. ‘I’ve
had three abortions myself. I wanted a boy and a girl. After my first boy, I
just kept getting more boys. Now I’ve got my boy and a girl. Everything’s
good.’”
I wonder. Is this the education
Planned Parenthood so proudly touts as they take millions of our tax dollars
each year?
For the past forty years, the spirit of murder has run
rampant. We have murdered 53 million babies in this nation over that period. In
the book of James it says, “The prayer of a righteous man avails much.”
Hard hearts, greedy for money, need to be changed. No amount
of demonstration or protests on the street is going to do that. There is only
one way. Only God can cause that to happen. He will only move if we pray. Will
you join me in asking God Almighty to send a sweeping revival so that God’s
gift of life is once again revered?
*Not her real name.
