Liz Martínez was close to deciding to have an abortion. present thanks the pro-life organization for saving her small girl.
I thank God, due to the fact that if it weren't for these people, I would have killed my daughter, who is the best thing that always happened to me. She's a green-eyed brunette, beautiful, tiny earthquake, but she's my daughter. Thank God He knows how to proceed– She said Liz.
Liz Martínez is 1 of the many mothers who receive aid from Fundación Coalición por la Vida Mamás 40 (Spanish: Coalition for Life Foundation We have 40), related to the prayer initiative 40 Días por la Vida (Spanish: 40 Days for Life) which helps pregnant women in difficulty.
Thank God for the foundation. They have saved lives for many. Without them, I would have had an abortion and I would not have forgiven myself. They're our angels.– said parent in an interview with ACI Prens.
Four is besides much for me.
Lucrecia Yepes Martinez was born on June 6, 2019. She is Liz's 4th daughter, who first got pregnant at 16. erstwhile it happened, he recalls, “I always rejected the thought of abortion and never considered it, and whenever I was asked about it, I said I wouldn’t.”
I had my first kid erstwhile I was 17, and my husband and I had 2 more children and I was 14. Then there was infidelity on his part, and I divorced him. I tried to forgive him and I couldn't.– She said.
After the divorce, the female was left alone with 3 children: 16-year-old Santiago, 14-year-old Danilo, and 10-year-old Evan. She went through tubal ligature surgery so she wouldn't have any more babies.
Still, she got pregnant again, and the doctor told her that it could be an ectopic pregnancy, which was not true.
The left ovary was rebuilt and the baby was in the uterus. I'm in a crisis. My daughter's father is simply a police officer, divorced, had 3 children already – He remembers Liz.
Although her partner, 15 years older than Liz, was willing to aid her, recalls that it was very hard for her due to the fact that with the aid of her parents she managed to survey 3 semesters of psychology.
My dream was to become a psychologist. I didn't want to have any more children, I didn't see myself with 4 kids. I had a terrible crisis and I didn't eat.– adds.
“You can’t cope”
Liz's parent offered her money for the abortion she gave up. This caused her parents to halt supporting her in paying her tuition for college. Liz besides lost custody of her children at the time. The situation became more complicated, so the female was looking for a place to have an abortion.
I went to the abortion center in Teusaquillo called “Oriéntame” (Spanish. Guide me). They offered me an abortion with a spoon. They said my baby was just a bag of cells that hasn't yet lived in, but it was a lie, and I was already 7 weeks pregnant. They told me it cost 580,000 pesos, and I agreed.– told Liz in an interview with ACI Prens.
Colombia told about her visit to the abortion clinic. She was asked why she was coming, then convinced she couldn't handle 4 children.
They convince you to have an abortion. – adds.
Liz inactive remembers how diametrically different her appearance was at the time. She was confused, concerned, and all these negative emotions made her face described as “changed, sad, matt and ugly”.
“These are actual angels”
When the female left the abortion center, she saw respective people who were from the organization “40 Days for Life”, a prayer initiative that prays for abortion to end in Colombia and around the world.
Some female looked at me. I felt bad and hid my pregnancy test in my backpack. She looked at me, I felt sorry, and erstwhile I took 2 steps, she came to me. She asked me how I was feeling. She introduced herself, told me her name was Andrea, and asked if I was pregnant.– She remembers.
Liz told her about her situation and then another man approached her with a rosary in his hand: “He told me that he is simply a doctor and that he and others came to save the lives of children. We walked 2 blocks that seemed infinite to me. At the place where I was taken, I was accepted by a psychologist. They did an ultrasound and told me to perceive to the baby's heart," something that didn't happen in the abortion center due to the fact that there “they won't let you see anything,” Liz said.
The scientist was with me for about 4 hours. I came home, I went to bed, and I cried. My mom took my back in college. They took my children. I was alone. My daughter's father retired, and in 3 months he wasn't expected to get any more wages. We didn't have any buying or anything else. Plus, I'm out of work.– The parent remembers.
Faced with this situation, Fundación Coalición Mamás 40 (Spanish: Coalition Foundation Mama 40) always sent her food and supported her. However, he recalls that “sometimes the thought of abortion came back to me, but in intellectual therapy I was able to realize that I wanted to have and protect” Lucrecia.
Liz besides said in a conversation with ACI Prens' portal that “although the girl's father is despotic, he supported me during my pregnancy, but without the women from the foundation I would have aborted and wouldn't forgive myself.”
