Save the Storks!

March 6, 2012 by Natalie Sonnen 5 Comments

Here’s a new and innovative initiative:  Helping women with ultrasound imaging, free pregnancy testing, and a free cab ride to the nearest CPC right before they walk into the abortion clinic!  Apparently it’s having a huge impact.

Save the Storks is the brain child of David Pomerantz, 23, described as a “vegan hipster with emo hair.”  He’s also a practicing Christian and has worked with a team of people to develop a portable Save the Stork ultrasound clinic, that parks outside of abortion clinics.

I wonder if Save the Stork clinics would escape our infamous ‘Bubble-Zone Laws’ here in Canada?

    I doubt they would even be allowed to operate in Canada, given our health care system. Our hands are tied in many ways in this country, because we really are a nanny state.

    Well, the ‘Save The Storks’ is good news. The accompanying article you provided reveals a work that brings the full package to women and the unborn – compassion, immediacy, information and support. Yes for Canada. I foresee no problem. Vans can park on the street. There is no business to necessitate a permit. Pre Birth Ultrasound businesses already exist all across Canada and this would not be in competition as it is not about photographs but would serve as a support to women and their unborn. Of course the information and support of Save The Storks might lead to going somewhere for photographs and that would just be another supportive step.

    I like it! I’m not sure it would not be legal, though good to get legal advice. Organizations are free to use public space to promote their cause. I’m pretty sure a Greenpeace type van that talks to people and gives info. and advocates for environonmentalism would be allowed, wouldn’t it. Now where’s that $50,000 (for a van!) I had a minute ago?? I mean come on! If a 23 year old vegan with funny hair can do it there surely we wise mature folks can do something??

      Why the unnecessary scoff about him being vegan? He’s probably more of a thinker than you “wise, mature folks”

    I happen to be reading The Tragedy of American Compassion right now, by Marvin Olasky.

    “It is part of Save the Storks’ mission that every woman who steps on the bus hears the Gospel message. While this may seem off-putting to some, to the Storks it is an essential aspect of caring for the mother that goes along with the physical support and counseling she will receive through the pregnancy center.”

    This may be offputting to some, but the roots of so much of our charity were based in the idea that you could not separate physical aid from spiritual aid, and that by so doing, you were failing to remedy a huge part of a person’s need. Protestants, Catholics and Jewish agencies worked along this model.

    A tangential comment, to be sure, but one I thought I’d make anyway. And thanks for this post, Natalie, very inspiring!
