More on Pregnancy Centers!

So my friend works for a pregnancy center here. Her job is to raise awareness at the universities. This is really intense because I live in a heavy university town (UNC, NCSU, DUKE, MEREDITH, Wake Tech, Wake Forest). But what is so disturbing is that the UNC OB nurse is from Planned Parenthood and the Health Center at the university is advised to refer pregnant clients to Planned Parenthood. There is also a woman on the campus who is radically angry toward Pregnancy support and doesn't want their presence visible on the campus. So people who want to make the women aware of where it go for support during pregnancy really have their work cut out for them. They are usually told that they will get no support from the university and have to work directly with the student groups or students for advocacy......this is so humbling....If the women don't know where to go it is like a scared mouse stuck at the end of a confusing maze with only one exit available...out of desperation they walk through the one open door sure to kill their baby.....This election is so important in November..there is so much hope but also the potential for a political climate that allows further acceptance of abortion clinics showing up in malls where girls that usually have to get permission slips to go on a field trip will not need one to walk in for an abortion or to to bring home the abortion pill to administer on their own in their bedrooms.....with their parents not knowing that their child may be witnessing fetal tissue in the toilet.....and immense bleeding....it is so scary...

Please pray......
