Love sits at the center of everything we do at Ramona Pregnancy Care Clinic. Its so amazing, for 35 years we’ve had volunteers and staff serve the women of our community with love, grace and mercy. The reason these volunteers and staff start with us in the first place is because of their love for the Lord, and their concern (love) for women challenged by an unplanned pregnancy, as well as for the unborn child. This kind of love is so attractive, we have mothers who don’t want to ever leave the circle of friendship and support they find here.
Love is a strong weapon as a scared young woman sits down with one our volunteers who advocates so she has all the information she needs and deserves before she make a permanent decision. She may need to know the gruesome way abortions happen, or the emotional trouble many women experience. She may need to know she could qualify for medical insurance-free to her-that can cover her pregnancy’s medical care and the baby’s delivery; sharing this fact recognizes her dignity (love.)
We desire to see her own motherly instincts (love) rear up and guide her. We’ve all heard amazing stories of the impossible things for their children women have accomplished in the face of danger. Abortion looms as the biggest threat to children today.
Love is what we teach a mother who desires to learn how to care (love) for her infant and continue as the child grows.
So, it’s no wonder, considering 35 years of our ministry, our theme for this year’s Walk For Life is titled “Love is our Legacy.”
