I received this newsletter in the mail today, and would like to share a couple things from it.

Unfortunately, the newsletter is not up on the centre's website yet, so you will have to take my word for my quoting of it.

The website is here..........

http://www.pregnancycarecentre.ca/

The newsletter starts with how the cooler weather brings out people who feel they need to "warn" others about the counselling centre.

A client showed us the written materials she had been given on the street before her appointment. Her words to us after the appointment were; "they lied, you did present all my options to me". She went on to tell her counsellor that she felt she had been treated with great respect ........and had full intentions of coming back for further support.

Later that week, papers went up on the trees lining the avenue. They contained a warning that we were an antiabortion organization that was staffed by Christian volunteers. All of which is true--but of course those that put these papers up were probably hoping to intimidate individuals from coming to our office.

After we removed those papers, more were put up--but now pasted to the light posts........Further to this, our files indicate that we've probably had several fake clients.

The newsletter goes on to tell how many of the staff initially felt fear, until the call for prayer went out and was answered by those of us who care about these things.

I wanted to bring this up in light of Jackie's posts where she has called all of those who oppose abortion "terrorists" and other names.

These things done as stated in this newsletter are acts of terrorism, too, by the pro-death proponents, who will do anything to silence the pro-life organizations who are only doing good.

Mossy, I'm so glad there are centers like your local one, that despite the negative assumptions and leaflet propaganda, stay open and welcoming to those who need those centers. It's true in many cases that a medical or counselling building from the outside just looks like a building, and it's easy for nay-sayers to object or ridicule a place's purpose.... but a place like that is so, so needed. It IS doing good. Thanks for sharing.
