succulent plantby Carder

The succulent plants are growing in tiny hand-made planters made specially by a ceramic artist. The organization is neither pro-life nor pro-choice, but pro-compassion, offering gifts to women after abortion to show “love and empathy” not “shame and hate.”

Why plants? Because scientific research has shown a connection between plants and healing, and the women need to heal, body and soul.

To offer these suffering women a hand-made gift of life is surely compassionate, but it is a gift passed over in a fog of despair, symbolizing a crestfallen longing for a truth behind the appearances….

One woman wrote… “… even though one life may not be able to continue, you give the opportunity to bring one life home.”

These are muffled pleas for love.

~ Stacy Trasancos describing the work of Plants for Patients, a charitable organization that “hands out plants to abortion patients, succulents because they are ‘incredibly adaptable’ and ‘come in a vast array of colors and shapes’ like the women who experience abortion,” LifeNews, January 21
