1
00:00:01.960 --> 00:00:04.280
<v Speaker 1>Eight thirty two in the morning, Kevin brdon in for

2
00:00:04.320 --> 00:00:07.679
<v Speaker 1>Brian Thomas fifty five KRC, the talk station. I want

3
00:00:07.679 --> 00:00:10.000
<v Speaker 1>to welcome to the program Lindy Zimbrotz. She is the

4
00:00:10.039 --> 00:00:13.960
<v Speaker 1>executive director of care Net Northern Kentucky and I had

5
00:00:13.960 --> 00:00:17.199
<v Speaker 1>an opportunity this past Monday to tour their cold Spring

6
00:00:17.280 --> 00:00:21.839
<v Speaker 1>facility and what a great organization. I'm glad that I've

7
00:00:22.199 --> 00:00:25.199
<v Speaker 1>found you over the years from a mutual friend of ours,

8
00:00:25.600 --> 00:00:29.079
<v Speaker 1>and I truly believe this is an organization is doing

9
00:00:29.359 --> 00:00:33.960
<v Speaker 1>great work in the area for anybody that is finding

10
00:00:35.920 --> 00:00:41.439
<v Speaker 1>what they refer to as a pregnancy or well anyway,

11
00:00:42.079 --> 00:00:46.399
<v Speaker 1>Letty you explain better than I do about your organization.

12
00:00:48.280 --> 00:00:52.359
<v Speaker 2>Well, we're a christ centered organization that meets people where

13
00:00:52.399 --> 00:00:56.880
<v Speaker 2>they are when they're facing pregnancy. We offer support before, during,

14
00:00:56.920 --> 00:01:00.359
<v Speaker 2>and after that unplanned pregnancy, and during that time we

15
00:01:00.479 --> 00:01:03.799
<v Speaker 2>uplift the sactity of human life. And we have three

16
00:01:03.840 --> 00:01:09.799
<v Speaker 2>centers in Northern Kentucky. We offer a pregnancy test, an ultrasound,

17
00:01:10.519 --> 00:01:13.719
<v Speaker 2>and then we provide any of the services that they

18
00:01:13.760 --> 00:01:18.599
<v Speaker 2>would need beyond that, such as parenting education classes, great

19
00:01:18.680 --> 00:01:25.519
<v Speaker 2>relationships classes, looking at adoption, or even helping them to plan,

20
00:01:25.760 --> 00:01:27.879
<v Speaker 2>you know, for the new for the new baby they

21
00:01:27.920 --> 00:01:29.959
<v Speaker 2>bring into into this world.

22
00:01:30.480 --> 00:01:35.760
<v Speaker 1>And the thing is, and that is call it crisis

23
00:01:35.799 --> 00:01:43.000
<v Speaker 1>pregnancy centers. But this is when somebody is is pregnant

24
00:01:43.159 --> 00:01:48.719
<v Speaker 1>and there they are in a a I guess a

25
00:01:48.799 --> 00:01:53.159
<v Speaker 1>panic situation for lack of a better term. There aren't

26
00:01:53.760 --> 00:01:57.439
<v Speaker 1>the options for them. There are too many people that

27
00:01:57.519 --> 00:02:01.159
<v Speaker 1>want to push the one particular option, and that is abortion.

28
00:02:01.760 --> 00:02:05.120
<v Speaker 1>But they don't realize that how many people out their

29
00:02:05.239 --> 00:02:09.400
<v Speaker 1>care as you just described, all the services that you provide,

30
00:02:09.719 --> 00:02:11.840
<v Speaker 1>and how many things that you can do not only

31
00:02:11.879 --> 00:02:14.759
<v Speaker 1>through the pregnancy, but after the pregnancy and follow up

32
00:02:15.000 --> 00:02:18.280
<v Speaker 1>and making sure even to the extent of adoption and

33
00:02:18.319 --> 00:02:22.120
<v Speaker 1>so on. And the fact that some of these organizations,

34
00:02:22.240 --> 00:02:25.280
<v Speaker 1>like Planned Parenthood, they take people in the most vulnerable

35
00:02:25.319 --> 00:02:28.759
<v Speaker 1>period of time and just give them one option and

36
00:02:28.800 --> 00:02:32.560
<v Speaker 1>try to force something down their throat where years later

37
00:02:32.719 --> 00:02:36.039
<v Speaker 1>or months later, weeks later, they may say, what the

38
00:02:36.080 --> 00:02:38.280
<v Speaker 1>hell did I do? That was the worst decision I

39
00:02:38.360 --> 00:02:42.360
<v Speaker 1>ever made. And to take somebody who's vulnerable and prey

40
00:02:42.479 --> 00:02:47.840
<v Speaker 1>upon that vulnerability, I think, well, is criminal in my opinion.

41
00:02:48.919 --> 00:02:51.280
<v Speaker 2>Yes it is. And the fact that they don't help

42
00:02:51.319 --> 00:02:54.840
<v Speaker 2>and helping them pick the pieces up or provide healing

43
00:02:54.960 --> 00:02:58.080
<v Speaker 2>for that situation. They just deny that there would be

44
00:02:58.159 --> 00:03:02.639
<v Speaker 2>any emotional turmoil after choosing to end the life of

45
00:03:02.719 --> 00:03:07.319
<v Speaker 2>your own child. We do provide a post abortion healing

46
00:03:07.840 --> 00:03:11.439
<v Speaker 2>and we work with women who have you know, undergone

47
00:03:11.520 --> 00:03:16.039
<v Speaker 2>and experienced abortion and we help provide healing to them.

48
00:03:16.080 --> 00:03:20.240
<v Speaker 2>And we're very compassionate because we know many of these

49
00:03:20.280 --> 00:03:24.879
<v Speaker 2>women often find themselves they've had an abortion, now they

50
00:03:25.000 --> 00:03:27.879
<v Speaker 2>wish to carry a pregnancy, and when they begin to

51
00:03:27.960 --> 00:03:31.879
<v Speaker 2>look at the fetal development during their pregnancy, then they're hit,

52
00:03:32.319 --> 00:03:34.439
<v Speaker 2>you know, right in the face with the fact that

53
00:03:34.479 --> 00:03:38.439
<v Speaker 2>they've ended the life of their child because they did

54
00:03:38.520 --> 00:03:42.159
<v Speaker 2>not they weren't provided that information. So we're there to

55
00:03:42.280 --> 00:03:47.120
<v Speaker 2>offer them all of the information about their options. And

56
00:03:47.159 --> 00:03:50.800
<v Speaker 2>what we see is when we provide that information to them,

57
00:03:51.319 --> 00:03:54.319
<v Speaker 2>they will choose life ninety percent of the time.

58
00:03:54.599 --> 00:03:57.439
<v Speaker 1>Yes, and we need to take quick break here, but

59
00:03:57.840 --> 00:04:00.719
<v Speaker 1>I just do want to mention this is the fact

60
00:04:00.800 --> 00:04:04.960
<v Speaker 1>that you know, when somebody, you know, I don't I

61
00:04:05.000 --> 00:04:09.199
<v Speaker 1>don't know how somebody wouldn't have a situation that if

62
00:04:09.240 --> 00:04:12.919
<v Speaker 1>they end a pregnancy, that they know when the possible

63
00:04:13.000 --> 00:04:17.639
<v Speaker 1>due date was or at least approximately when they see newborns,

64
00:04:17.680 --> 00:04:20.519
<v Speaker 1>when they see a one year old, a two year old,

65
00:04:20.519 --> 00:04:23.319
<v Speaker 1>a three year old, four year old after their abortion,

66
00:04:23.639 --> 00:04:26.519
<v Speaker 1>how that can't affect them at some point in time,

67
00:04:26.759 --> 00:04:29.680
<v Speaker 1>whether it's immediate or whether it's down the road. There's

68
00:04:29.759 --> 00:04:34.319
<v Speaker 1>got to be some mental problems with that, or some

69
00:04:34.360 --> 00:04:37.000
<v Speaker 1>guilt or whatever. And the one thing I would stress

70
00:04:37.040 --> 00:04:39.759
<v Speaker 1>more than anything else is that anybody that has had

71
00:04:39.839 --> 00:04:42.600
<v Speaker 1>an abortion, if you are thinking in terms of this,

72
00:04:43.000 --> 00:04:45.560
<v Speaker 1>if you are being stressed by this, if you are

73
00:04:45.560 --> 00:04:50.519
<v Speaker 1>feeling depressed about this, speak to somebody. Go out find

74
00:04:50.519 --> 00:04:53.959
<v Speaker 1>the compassion and people like Carnet to speak to, because

75
00:04:54.120 --> 00:04:57.199
<v Speaker 1>they are not going to judge, they are there to help.

76
00:04:57.560 --> 00:05:00.560
<v Speaker 1>And of course my guest is Lindy zimbro She is

77
00:05:00.680 --> 00:05:03.839
<v Speaker 1>the executive director here in Northern Kentucky. We'll pick this

85
00:05:32.120 --> 00:05:36.040
<v Speaker 1>a big pleasure learning about all the services that you provide.

86
00:05:36.399 --> 00:05:39.279
<v Speaker 1>And thanks for hanging with us. Certainly appreciate it.

<v Speaker 2>Thank you, Kevin.

88
00:05:44.759 --> 00:05:47.000
<v Speaker 1>You've got a banquet coming up on May the eighth.

89
00:05:48.199 --> 00:05:51.560
<v Speaker 1>There's still some availability or open spots possible.

90
00:05:51.959 --> 00:05:54.040
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, we have a few spots. We're down to the

91
00:05:54.120 --> 00:05:57.839
<v Speaker 2>last minute planning, but if we have cancelations, we're able

92
00:05:57.839 --> 00:06:01.519
<v Speaker 2>to work people in. So someone's entertd in attending the banquet,

93
00:06:02.079 --> 00:06:08.040
<v Speaker 2>they just contact us online at CARNETNKY dot org and

94
00:06:08.319 --> 00:06:11.480
<v Speaker 2>they can submit, you know, a request. We have a

95
00:06:11.519 --> 00:06:15.079
<v Speaker 2>waiting list right now, but we have over eight hundred. Yeah,

96
00:06:15.120 --> 00:06:18.399
<v Speaker 2>we have over eight hundred guests that attend. It is

97
00:06:18.439 --> 00:06:22.079
<v Speaker 2>to sit down dinner. It is a fundraiser, and we

98
00:06:22.120 --> 00:06:26.759
<v Speaker 2>will be hearing from one of our clients that evening

99
00:06:26.839 --> 00:06:30.920
<v Speaker 2>that's experienced care Net who is now an employee at

100
00:06:30.920 --> 00:06:32.680
<v Speaker 2>care Net and works with us.

101
00:06:32.920 --> 00:06:33.279
<v Speaker 1>Very good.

102
00:06:33.319 --> 00:06:36.439
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, we're so glad to have her. She's bilingual and

103
00:06:36.480 --> 00:06:40.879
<v Speaker 2>she's able to help us with German, also Spanish. But

104
00:06:41.040 --> 00:06:45.000
<v Speaker 2>we're we're going to feature her because you know, she's

105
00:06:45.000 --> 00:06:48.480
<v Speaker 2>she's a single mom and she's experienced it on both

106
00:06:48.560 --> 00:06:51.600
<v Speaker 2>ends and now she's there to help other people. But

107
00:06:52.399 --> 00:06:55.839
<v Speaker 2>we do have some spots and this, like I said,

108
00:06:55.879 --> 00:06:58.560
<v Speaker 2>this is a fundraiser, and if you can't get in,

109
00:06:59.480 --> 00:07:02.680
<v Speaker 2>go to care nky dot org and help us with

110
00:07:02.720 --> 00:07:05.279
<v Speaker 2>some of the things on our wish list. All of

111
00:07:05.319 --> 00:07:09.680
<v Speaker 2>our programs are incentivized, so after someone makes a decision

112
00:07:10.240 --> 00:07:13.800
<v Speaker 2>to carry a pregnancy, and they weren't expecting, of course,

113
00:07:13.800 --> 00:07:16.480
<v Speaker 2>to carry a pregnancy, there's a lot of work that

114
00:07:16.639 --> 00:07:19.319
<v Speaker 2>needs to be done to help them be ready to

115
00:07:19.399 --> 00:07:22.360
<v Speaker 2>welcome a child into their home, everything from teaching them

116
00:07:22.399 --> 00:07:28.680
<v Speaker 2>about their pregnancy. For fathers, we also have a fatherhood program,

117
00:07:29.040 --> 00:07:31.879
<v Speaker 2>but we want to walk alongside of them. They're assigned

118
00:07:31.879 --> 00:07:35.720
<v Speaker 2>a mentor. It's a mentoring program and they earn items

119
00:07:35.759 --> 00:07:39.000
<v Speaker 2>as they go through the program. They'll earn diapers, they

120
00:07:39.040 --> 00:07:41.439
<v Speaker 2>are a safety item, which is a car seat in

121
00:07:41.480 --> 00:07:45.600
<v Speaker 2>a baby bed. So you know, these programs can be costly,

122
00:07:46.160 --> 00:07:49.759
<v Speaker 2>and what's really great is the community of people step

123
00:07:49.839 --> 00:07:54.160
<v Speaker 2>up because they want to see people succeed and overcome

124
00:07:54.600 --> 00:07:57.920
<v Speaker 2>and be able to provide for their children. And what

125
00:07:58.000 --> 00:08:01.240
<v Speaker 2>we do is try to help establish a family unit

126
00:08:01.279 --> 00:08:05.160
<v Speaker 2>that's very stable. And then from there, you know, we

127
00:08:05.639 --> 00:08:09.079
<v Speaker 2>help the workforce too, so you know, it's just a

128
00:08:09.120 --> 00:08:13.079
<v Speaker 2>win win for everyone. We don't want to see people

129
00:08:13.279 --> 00:08:16.160
<v Speaker 2>continue to be poverty stricken, so we're there to cheer

130
00:08:16.319 --> 00:08:21.199
<v Speaker 2>lead them for higher education, for trade school and just

131
00:08:21.360 --> 00:08:24.399
<v Speaker 2>you know, job placement. But we also we want to

132
00:08:24.399 --> 00:08:27.839
<v Speaker 2>be there to provide the nurturing and the bonding that

133
00:08:27.879 --> 00:08:30.600
<v Speaker 2>they need to learn how to initiate to the children.

134
00:08:30.839 --> 00:08:33.519
<v Speaker 1>Absolutely. Now, one of the things you mentioned when I

135
00:08:33.559 --> 00:08:35.759
<v Speaker 1>was there on Monday that you mentioned that you have

136
00:08:35.919 --> 00:08:39.440
<v Speaker 1>people that are fluent in Spanish and you said that

137
00:08:39.480 --> 00:08:42.559
<v Speaker 1>there is a need in your organization for people that

138
00:08:42.639 --> 00:08:47.480
<v Speaker 1>speak French that could possibly volunteer some time and volunteer.

139
00:08:47.559 --> 00:08:51.080
<v Speaker 2>We actually have one paid position open to okay, who

140
00:08:51.519 --> 00:08:55.879
<v Speaker 2>are yeah for our French speaking We need some help

141
00:08:55.919 --> 00:09:00.320
<v Speaker 2>with some translation, and also you know, it's it's just

142
00:09:00.559 --> 00:09:04.320
<v Speaker 2>a great way to help the populations that we see

143
00:09:04.440 --> 00:09:08.200
<v Speaker 2>within a certainly certainly a call out to anybody that

144
00:09:08.799 --> 00:09:11.279
<v Speaker 2>has some time and that could possibly either volunteer or

145
00:09:11.519 --> 00:09:13.919
<v Speaker 2>looking for a paid position to do some of this translation,

146
00:09:14.000 --> 00:09:16.440
<v Speaker 2>because we certainly want to get that position filled.

147
00:09:16.759 --> 00:09:20.600
<v Speaker 1>But if anybody is interested in donating or at least

148
00:09:20.639 --> 00:09:23.240
<v Speaker 1>learning about the organization and learning about what you do.

149
00:09:24.480 --> 00:09:26.519
<v Speaker 1>The website would be again.

150
00:09:27.840 --> 00:09:30.679
<v Speaker 2>Care net nky dot org.

151
00:09:31.039 --> 00:09:34.279
<v Speaker 1>Yes, and I would encourage anybody that, at any stage,

152
00:09:34.320 --> 00:09:41.480
<v Speaker 1>if you have, if you have kids, learn about this organization.

153
00:09:41.679 --> 00:09:44.399
<v Speaker 1>Let your kids be familiar with this organization, because you

154
00:09:44.480 --> 00:09:48.799
<v Speaker 1>never know when you might need this organization. And it

155
00:09:48.919 --> 00:09:52.799
<v Speaker 1>certainly beats the alternative. And when you talk about I mean,

156
00:09:52.879 --> 00:09:56.320
<v Speaker 1>I just heard a comment the other day when they're

157
00:09:56.360 --> 00:09:59.919
<v Speaker 1>talking about this immigration and people being deported and so on,

158
00:10:00.240 --> 00:10:04.960
<v Speaker 1>somebody made the comment that, well, just think somebody that

159
00:10:05.080 --> 00:10:07.840
<v Speaker 1>was deported, that may be the person that becomes the

160
00:10:07.919 --> 00:10:12.840
<v Speaker 1>scientist that cures cancer or that has this. Oh really, well,

161
00:10:12.919 --> 00:10:15.080
<v Speaker 1>what about the number of children that have been aboarded

162
00:10:15.080 --> 00:10:18.080
<v Speaker 1>since nineteen seventy three? How about how many of those

163
00:10:18.320 --> 00:10:22.440
<v Speaker 1>were scientists and possibly could have been productive. How many

164
00:10:22.480 --> 00:10:25.559
<v Speaker 1>of them would have been productive members of society. So

165
00:10:25.919 --> 00:10:29.000
<v Speaker 1>I don't want you know, it's just ah, all this stuff,

166
00:10:29.080 --> 00:10:31.039
<v Speaker 1>and I just it just infuriates me.

167
00:10:31.120 --> 00:10:35.200
<v Speaker 2>Well, we know that through our ultrasound program, we know

168
00:10:35.279 --> 00:10:40.519
<v Speaker 2>that we've been able to rescue over two thousand and

169
00:10:40.600 --> 00:10:46.000
<v Speaker 2>seventy six children from the hands of abortion and we

170
00:10:46.080 --> 00:10:51.240
<v Speaker 2>know that the parents that had those children were invited

171
00:10:51.279 --> 00:10:55.080
<v Speaker 2>and equipped to be the best parents possible or to

172
00:10:55.159 --> 00:10:56.360
<v Speaker 2>make an adoption plan.

173
00:10:56.639 --> 00:10:59.279
<v Speaker 1>Absolutely, and I think one of the biggest and the

174
00:10:59.320 --> 00:11:02.000
<v Speaker 1>best tools that you have is somebody coming in there

175
00:11:02.200 --> 00:11:05.919
<v Speaker 1>and doing the ultrasound, because when you look at the

176
00:11:05.960 --> 00:11:08.759
<v Speaker 1>at the graphic, when you see with the ultrasound and

177
00:11:08.840 --> 00:11:14.360
<v Speaker 1>realize that as early as seven weeks there is a heartbeat.

178
00:11:13.960 --> 00:11:17.720
<v Speaker 2>Well that we can actually see that at six weeks

179
00:11:17.759 --> 00:11:22.399
<v Speaker 2>in five days thereabouts. Yeah, then we can bring those

180
00:11:22.440 --> 00:11:26.200
<v Speaker 2>women in early for that ultrasound and providing that type

181
00:11:26.200 --> 00:11:30.879
<v Speaker 2>of service also connects them into that early ob care

182
00:11:31.000 --> 00:11:35.399
<v Speaker 2>so that they're actually getting you know, getting the care

183
00:11:35.440 --> 00:11:38.600
<v Speaker 2>that they need health wise, so that they're getting their

184
00:11:38.639 --> 00:11:42.440
<v Speaker 2>prenatal vitamins early, will start them out with their prenatal vitamins.

185
00:11:42.440 --> 00:11:45.399
<v Speaker 2>Fantastic you to really help them with that pregnancy.

186
00:11:45.679 --> 00:11:48.879
<v Speaker 1>Lenny, thank you so much. I really appreciate it. I hope, well,

187
00:11:48.919 --> 00:11:51.240
<v Speaker 1>I know, I'll see you at the banquet on the eighth,

188
00:11:51.759 --> 00:11:55.600

189
00:11:55.600 --> 00:12:01.200

190
00:12:01.240 --> 00:12:04.000
<v Speaker 1>people that are there and the other services that are available.

191
00:12:04.240 --> 00:12:07.039
<v Speaker 1>It's a wealth of knowledge, and I think it's well

192
00:12:07.039 --> 00:12:11.120
<v Speaker 1>worth everybody's attention to attend and to get more information

193
00:12:11.159 --> 00:12:12.240
