This Is Not Compassion!
RECEIVED Tue., Aug. 8, 2006
Dear Editor,
Re: Crisis pregnancy centers [“Having Your Baby,” News, Aug. 4]: Where is the compassion? These people are supposed to be offering a public service to women/couples in crisis. Instead, those seeking help receive faulty information from automatons parroting their programmed script. At least robots have an excuse – they don't have hearts. There is no room for judgmental, crystallized thinkers when dealing with the public's private matters. What is needed is a good listener with an open heart who operates in truth and provides accurate information to empower others to make their own decisions. This is compassionate care.
