Montgomery County Council - Testimony From Painful Experience


Some of the more heartbreaking testimonies were from those women who had abortions and wished that they had encountered a crisis pregancy center before their most tragic decisions. 

Please listen to this clip.  First you'll hear Dr. Jennifer Todd speak in support of the strangulation bill.  You'll hear her repeat incessantly how much harm "barriers" can do to women who need medical (not prenatal!) care.  The implication, of course, is that the information offered by the pregnancy centers constitutes "barriers" to the women, if not the very presence of the centers themselves.

After Todd, you'll hear Maria Brazda (pictured above) share her sad story and how she wishes there was such a "barrier" in her life thirty years ago, a "barrier" that might have shown her another way than the abortion that she had.  You'll also hear how she treasured her time as a volunteer at Shady Grove Pregnancy Center, and her high regard for its director, Jackie Stippich.  She makes a point of relating how the women who had come to Shady Grove from Planned Parenthood reported that they were given no information at the Planned Parenthood regarding fetal development.  Ms. Brazda decided herself to go to a NARAL office nearby to ask them if they relayed any details about fetal development.  When she asked the question, she was immediately escorted out the door; it seems that she was physically thrown out.  So much for "compassionate care" on the part of abortion providers! 

Now mind you, the same folks who seemed to have bodily evicted Ms Brazda from their office have deemed over half of the Council members as "partners of choice!"  Isn't that just - well - special??
