While attending medical college, specializing in obstetrics and gynecology, Dr. John Bruchalski was taught that abortion is health care, and doctors believe it. But this changed one night when he had to do both: try to save the life of one fetus, and end the life of another.
In 1983, while starting his studies at the University of South Alabama, Dr. John Bruchalski suggested that contraception and abortion were a way to promote the health, happiness, and integrity of women in the field of reproduction. With the goal of becoming the best gynecologist possible, he learned the methods of abortion, sterilization and artificial birth and began to practice these.
The doctor later confessed that when he helped women have abortions, he believed that the pain would be less when they had to have an unwanted pregnancy. But then he realized that people are hurt more when they participate in fetal killing. They may experience a brief period of stress-free rest, but most of their subsequent relationships are broken after the abortion.
The doctor recounted that, that night, at the hospital, in a room, there was a mother who was in labor but had difficulty and he tried to make her round and square. In the next room, another woman wanted to have an abortion, and Dr. John also helped her to abort the fetus. When taken out, the fetus was still alive. At that time, two things were on his mind: either kill the baby or put it on the scale to see how much it weighs. He did the second thing, the baby weighed more than 500 grams. He called the intensive care doctor for me. Doctor John affirms that it was in that moment that he was converted.
His conversion was further strengthened during a pilgrimage to the shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe, revered by the faithful as the Protector of the unborn. A friend tried to convince him to go there and he accepted. When he got there, he felt as if Our Lady was saying to him, “Why do you make me suffer so much?”, but he was not ready to answer this question. Two years later, his mother persuaded him to go to the shrine of Our Lady of Medjugorje. There, the love for Christ and Mary that the parents had nurtured in the doctor's soul awakened again. At the same time, the doctor met a young woman who was also participating in the pilgrimage and shared with him about her life-saving activities.
All of this has changed the path that Dr. John Bruchalski is pursuing. Returning to the US, he told colleagues he could no longer commit the crime of abortion or sterilization, even though it took him a year to change all the procedures.
After several years of studying the theology of the body by Saint John Paul II, Doctor John Bruchalski began to practice his medical profession in a different way. In 1994 with his wife, he founded the Teyepac Family Center, a medical, obstetrics and gynecological facility, with the collaboration of several doctors and nurses. The Teyepac Family Center is specifically focused on advancing St. John Paul II's theology of the body, what the doctor calls "a revolution for relationships, medicine, and families."
Later, the doctor founded Divine Mercy Care, a non-profit organization whose mission is to promote health care for life through programs serving those in need, while educating and inspiring inspiration for medical professionals, with the desire to ensure that all women receive dignified care. The members of Divine Mercy Care come to meet directly at the residence of women who have difficulties in pregnancy, both physically and mentally, to help the whole family become aware of building a culture of life, and through caring activities. health care hope people's souls change.
The doctor tells those who have at least once abandoned their children through abortion and abortion advocates: “God's mercy is the best medicine for the healing of the soul. If you are suffering about what you have done, suffering has now become scars in your life, then believe that in Divine Mercy Care community you have doctors to take care of you, there is God's mercy here and He just wants to love you more than you know.”
