For more than a decade Caroline Strzesynski worked as an abortion recovery room nurse and lead clinician at The Center for Choice in Toledo, Ohio. A facility that is no longer open.
She told The Christian Post she frequently saw women in tears after their abortions, which she noted is the standard reaction to the “hormonal jolt” of going from being pregnant to not being pregnant.
Strzesynski did not consider herself pro-choice or pro-life when she started the job, but her thinking changed after the birth of her daughter and as she started to rekindle a relationship with God.
As she spent more time with Scripture and incorporated Christian values into her household, Strzesynski began to see her job at Planned Parenthood through a “different lens.”
She said, “When I saw the women at that point, I wasn’t just seeing a woman in her circumstance anymore. I was seeing the life within, and I was seeing the generational impact.”
At the time, Strzesynski was the primary breadwinner between her and her husband, and she didn’t have another job lined up, but she knew she could no longer work at Planned Parenthood.
Strzesynski said, “You know, this gets down to James,” paraphrasing James chapter 2, “Faith without works is dead, and we need the works alongside the faith piece.”
She has since taken a job with the local health department.
