TUSCALOOSA — On Tuesday, a group of pro-life individuals gathered outside of the West Alabama Women’s Center in an attempt to help women understand the impact of having an abortion.
Amanda Delaluz, who stands outside of the clinic almost every day, said she often travels to Montgomery to help persuade young women from getting an abortion.
“We are here because we care about the women and their babies,” Delaluz told Yellowhammer News.
Delaluz explained she wants to help women understand what they are about to go through and the problems that can occur before they endure the procedure.
“We usually have one or two a day that come speak with us,” she said. “We have people who come back to us and thank us for saving their baby.”
Mike Howell has been coming to stand outside of the clinic for around three years to help women understand that abortion is not their only option.
“We offer free doctors, money, adoption, anything to get these men and women to change their minds,” Howell stated.
Choices Pregnancy Clinic, which operates next door to the West Alabama Women’s Center, allows their patients to explore their options before going through with an abortion.
“If we can get them to go to Choices next door, we count that as a win,” said Howell.
Paul Lake, who told Yellowhammer News he has been attempting to persuade women from getting abortions for 10 years, refers to the West Alabama Women’s Center in Tuscaloosa as the “abortion capital” in the south.
According to Lake, most women do not even know their child’s heart is beating.
“The main message is to let the women know that their baby’s heart is beating,” said Lake.
While speaking with Yellowhammer News, Lake shouted out to a stumbling young girl leaving the clinic following an abortion procedure, telling her, “God still loves you. They offer counseling services next door.”
The West Alabama Women’s Center, which operates in Walt Maddox’s backyard, offers abortions and pregnancy testing services among other things.
