Real charity: Atheist woman funds abortions for poor women

  Over thirty four years of service to help poor women. Anne is a real American hero.

For all the talk of Christian charity, there are precious few — if any — Christian organizations that anyone can call and receive money for medical procedures.  An atheist woman in Wisconsin has been taking that mantle upon herself for 34 years.

Anne Nicol Gaylor has been the leader of the Freedom from Religion Foundation for decades, and is well known on that account.  Less well known is the fact that she has written checks from her own account for nearly 19,000 abortions.  She has no staff, no answering machine, no relief.  She has answered every call herself and talked individually with each of these women — or, more properly, these women and girls, some as young as twelve — who could not afford to have an abortion.

It’s disturbingly not much different from an underground railroad for abortion.  Many states, such as Kansas, Mississippi, Texas, and Minnesota have made it next to impossible for women with money to get an abortion.  (LINK )  For the poor, it’s often little more than a pipe dream, even though the procedure is still legal according to the highest law of the land.  Without assistance, many women don’t even know how to begin finding a provider, travelling to the clinic (which might be hundreds of miles away), or receiving proper counselling from trained medical professionals.

Gaylor and her network of private donors have done their part to help.  It all started with a story of tragedy:  ”Gaylor said her motivation came from a doctor who told her about a girl who was raped by her father and had to drop out of high school to raise the child. “Those kind of stories are so numerous and so tragic.” (LINK )

Each and every caller to the Gaylor’s private number receives personal attention from Anne.  She asks tough questions, and counsels young women on the best ways to prevent the need for another procedure.

To many Christians, Anne Gaylor will seem like the worst kind of person, worthy of the eternal flames of hell for trillions of years of unimaginable torture.  For those of us with at least a vestige of human compassion, she is a hero.  She has taken it upon herself to individually help people in genuine and dire need.  ”Of the 632 women the fund has helped so far this year, 147 were teenagers,” Gaylor wrote to donors last Thanksgiving. “Of these, nine were only 13 years old, and one, not yet a teen, was just 12!”  (LINK )
