Story number 2 for 20 Jan 2000
Posted: 20 January, 2000
Next, tomorrow is the anniversary of the Roe versus Wade decision. That's the
decision that legalized abortion in the United States. Bethany Christian Services, a
Michigan based adoption and crisis pregnancy agency, is helping to point mothers to
be to the Savior. Linda VanderKuyl (vander-KY-uhl) is a crisis pregnancy counselor.
"We're very empathetic. She's in a crisis. She needs assurance that there is hope she is
going to get through this. She doesn't need to make decisions in panic. There's plenty
of time for making a decision, whatever she decides is going to affect her for the rest of
her life." VanderKuyl says they use these special times to share the Gospel with these
hurting ladies. "There's many opportunities when a woman is faced with a crisis like
this. We may pray with her at the hospital or varied different points. The birth mothers
that come here are from all different walks of life." According to VanderKuyl some of
them do come to Christ.
