PREGNANT? NEED HELP? CONTEMPLATING ABORTION?

Two women, Nicolette and Bek share their most intimate thoughts in this Walking with Love clip.

They share their responses to their unexpected pregnancies and how it was the support that they perceived was there that made all the difference to their decision of whether to continue the pregnancy or to have an abortion. One of them did have an abortion and she shares the silent suffering of this and how she eventually found healing and peace through healing ministries, her friends and counselling.

If you are a friend or family member, then you can learn how to be more supportive both when she is undecided about her unexpected pregnancy and when she is suffering the effects of termination. Get to understand the issues and learn practical ways of HOW to respond.

Why is the Church interested in this issue?

"The Church is in the world as the living presence of the love of God who leans down to every human weakness in order to gather it into its merciful embrace" Pope John Paul II, 2000.

The Church want to reach out to those who were abandoned and were unsupported when they had to make that awful decision. The Church wants to educate all people of goodwill on how to support women when they find themselves with an unexpected pregnancy and to embrace those who have had an abortion.
