Believing lies has consequences, for herself and for others.
Debbie Picarello, who is post-abortive herself, reaches out to pro-choice protesters. She can offer hope and healing in ways the rest of us never could.
With tears in her eyes, she said, “I interned all summer with the political arm of Planned Parenthood (PP). People called me a baby-killer all summer.”
She had been well-indoctrinated by PP—clean, safe, regulated, counseling, psychological help offered, ultrasounds given, etc.
“We save lives,” she claimed.
She was speaking with CBR’s Jane Bullington, standing in front of the Genocide Awareness Project (GAP) at James Madison University (JMU).
Jane kept reminding her, “Abortion kills a human being.” She hated that.
“It is not a human. What if it is not wanted?” (As if being “wanted” makes one human.)
“You can’t ask the mom to work at McDonald’s so she can have a kid and go to college; that is too demeaning.” (As if hard work is “demeaning.”)
[This reminded us of the Middle Tennessee State University student who said his mother was unmarried and waiting tables when she got pregnant with him. But she got serious about her life and went back to school. Eventually, she would become head nurse at a hospital and make close to $100,000 a year. It was a strong counter-example to the poverty myth. He went on to say that if she had aborted him, she would still be waiting tables. Anyway, back to JMU.]
Her most astounding statement was this: “Women have evolved and our bodies are not designed to carry and deliver these babies anymore. They are too big for our small pelvic bones.”
Lemme get this straight. PP’s buddies on the Left say it took millions of years for the human body to “evolve.” Now, in only two generations, the female reproductive system has further “evolved” into something dysfunctional? Why? Because of evolutionary pressures? From what? Radical feminism? Has PP become that ridiculous?
Believing lies has consequences.
She began to cry uncontrollably and kept saying abortion does not kill babies. Jane now knew she was post-abortive. She was seeing, for the first time, the monstrous lies she had told herself and others. She was horrified.
It was horrifying to us, also. We were too late to save her oldest child(ren), but we pray the truth will save her younger ones.
We also pray she will repent of telling abortion industry lies and tell the truth from now on, to others as well as to herself. We pray God will use this painful experience to save many babies and moms.
German student expanding horizons at James Madison University
German student: I don’t know how old you are, but …
“Frederick,” a James Madison University (JMU) student from Germany, was ashamed of his peers. He said to CBR’s Jane Bullington,
“It is so closed-minded to decide you guys have nothing worth hearing and just sit on the sidelines protesting.
I am studying genocide and human atrocities. These photos are not disturbing; the actions are disturbing. Folks need to get out of their comfort zone and engage others so they can expand their world views. It is pitiful that my peers are so pansy and childish.
I don’t know how old you are, but I do know that you know more than I do and I need to listen and learn. And whether this is genocide or not, I see the reasons for the comparisons and it is an atrocity.
You have made my Tuesday. My comfort zone has been stretched once again. Thank you for coming, and thank you for taking with me.”
He’s right about one thing. Jane is pretty old.
Where were the Christians at Auburn University?
Jane asked, “Where are the Christians?”
On Day 2, GAP at Auburn got really revved up. Huge crowds came out to see the display and discuss abortion with our staff and volunteers. Some of them even protested! Imagine that.
Where are the Christians? One female student was sitting on the ground, about 30 feet away, occasionally looking over at the photos, bowing her head, and reading her Bible. Jane Bullington went over to talk.
She was a Christian, she was pro-life, and she knew abortion was wrong. But she was worried that post-abortive women might see the signs and commit suicide. She was genuinely upset and wanted us to pull the signs down. Jane spoke with her at length, explaining why it is necessary for us to show the truth. Jane told her that millions of children have died because the “pro-life” church has covered up the truth about abortion.
Jane told her that women who abort are at a much higher risk of committing suicide. It is not us that puts them at risk; it’s the abortionist who kills her baby. Jane explained that many, many babies’ lives have been saved by exposing the truth using graphic abortion photos. She explained that all of our people are trained to treat people with respect, that we are all Christians who look for opportunities to share the Gospel, etc.
The young lady listened, she smiled, an occasional tear rolled down her cheek. Jane told her that we do our best to invite Christian ministries and pastors to join us at GAP, but they almost never come. It is just not on their agenda. Jane asked her, “Where are the Christians on your campus? Why aren’t they out here?” There is no good answer to that question. She just starred off in space for a moment and then said, “I need to go to class; thank you for talking with me. I am going to post on my Facebook page a plea for those in my campus ministry to join me today on the concourse to pray for GAP and for our campus.” We wonder if any did.
Media Coverage at Auburn. The student paper came out after we had left Auburn, so we don’t know how much was in the print edition, but you can find these two items online:
