Sacramento pro-lifers save three babies from abortion

News from the Trenches

Choice Medical, Sacramento

In recent days, three babies have been saved from abortion at Choice Medical, 2322 Butano Drive, Sacramento, including one set of twins, due to your prayerful presence! Thanks be to God!

The Sacramento pro-life community (including the St. Vincent de Paul Society, the Gabriel Project, St. Mel's Catholic Church and school, and the Sacramento Life Center) are all helping this family! The mother is five months pregnant with twins and already has two darling little boys, so your assistance is greatly appreciated!

The third life saved involves an inspiring story. One of our local sidewalk counselors had only a few minutes to spare this past week, but still stopped by Butano to pray and distribute life-saving information. During the brief time she was there, at least eight young women entered for an abortion, all rejecting her offer of assistance and pro-life material. She soon had to leave as, very thankfully, other prayer participants began to arrive.

A few hours later, the early morning sidewalk counselor received a phone call from those who were still present at Butano with this good news: One of the young women who had originally rejected the information, continued inside for an abortion, but changed her mind at the last minute! As she lay there on the surgical bed, she thought to herself, "That lady out there cares more about my baby than I do. I just can't go through with this!" She left the abortion facility to go back out to the sidewalk for help.

I include this story for all of you who have wondered, "Do my prayers really work? It seems like no one is listening!" Sometimes we never know what miracles occur due to our prayerful presence, but this week, not only were three babies saved, but God also gave us the opportunity to witness the fruits of our labor!
