How great would it be to fight and protest against one of the greatest sins in the world.l am talking about the terrible sin called abortion. I went on a retreat with my church to protest and prevent this evil sin. This retreat was mainly about to teach our group who went on the retreat to never consider abortion and how evil it is to purposely destroy a life. Even though this is a serious problem in the world, I had a fun time during this retreat.

Abortion is when you a abandon your offspring (child) without any interest or care purposely destroying a life. Abortion is ending pregnancy by using medicine or surgical procedure because some women think that their pregnancy could threaten their life or have severe birth defects. These facts were said on a mobile unit of the abortion prevention cause( a bus) that is equipped with an ultrasound, beds, kitchen, bathroom, and couch. I was surprised that there are buses that have a one cause of helping and informing young women about how abortion is a big mistake in their lives. Before we went on the bus there was a story in which the bishop of St.Augustine told the whole church in the homily which changed almost everybody's point of view about abortion.

Before the bus, the my group and I went to church with the Bishop of Saint Augustine. There were many priests attending the church and there were about 2000 people crammed inside the Church. In the Homily, there was a priest who talked about how he read a book that was about a young woman who was working in a hospital and her job was to persuade and interest people into abortion of their child. Soon he told us that the woman was needed during an operation because they need one extra person. The woman accepted the offer because she thought that she was doing good in helping her cause. But during the operation, she found out that they were doing this to kill an innocent baby in the operation. She soon found out that she was helping in this terrible cause of abortion. Soon, she quit her job and she spoke against abortion, travelling around the country, spreading the word about her cause. The priest explained the story so well, there were people in the pews and the inside of the church who were silently crying. I could understand that it was very emotional and I even had a deep and heavy feeling after I heard that story.

After church, the group of people who traveled to Saint Augustine (about 5000 people) went on a 3 hour walk around the perimeter of the old St. Augustine. It was very boring, but I felt great to protest against an evil sin in this world. After the walk, the group and I went to shops all around St.Augustine. We bought delicious ice cream, soda, and other savory foods. We went back to the cars that brought us to St.Augustine and had a picnic and a retreat during we talked about the experiences we had on that day. I had a good time, but I was very surprised in which what happened in the world.
