Can you ever seek treatment from an abortion facility?

[raven78]

I have a friend who has a particular disease. In order to remain healthy and ensure it doesn’t turn into something worse, she needs to get treatments every so often. She has no insurance, no financial support, and is 19 years old. The town she lives in only has one place that she can afford and doesn’t require insurance. This women’s “health center” is staunchly pro-choice, offering abortions, contraceptives, and the like. She went there once for treatment before now, not realizing what kind of place it is until afterward. Because of her lack of financial and family support, my friend is faced with the choice to either delay treatment for months until she moves to a bigger town (which she is planning on doing) and risk her health or receive treatments from this place. What should she do? Is it wrong to go there and get treated?

Since your friend has no other comparable options for treatment at this time, she certainly can go to this facility to receive the legitimate treatments she needs. As soon as she is able to go elsewhere, it would be better for her to do so. In the meantime though, she might use the necessity of going to this place as an opportunity to pray and offer up her suffering for the other patients, especially the unborn children being killed there. If it were me, I’d also use this as an opportunity to discreetly slip pro-life tracts into the waiting-room magazines.
