40 Days For Life: DAY 36: Drove to Reverse Abortion

 

Many women who take the abortion pill soon realize they made a big mistake...and they would do anything to save their babies. Fortunately, many of them can. Abortion Pill Reversal (APR) sounds too good to be true, but it has saved thousands of babies worldwide. A first-time mom in Fayetteville, North Carolina, visited Planned Parenthood for the abortion pill. As she left the appointment, she spoke with prayer warriors, who gave her APR information. The seeds planted that day sprouted the next morning, when the woman woke up filled with regret. She visited the local pregnancy center to ask for help reversing her abortion. The doctor wasn't in, so Fayetteville 40 Days for Life leader Felisha drove the worried mom 90 minutes to the next closest APR doctor. Felisha also drove the mom to the pharmacy to get her prescription, took her to breakfast, and accompanied her to a prenatal appointment. "Hearing the strong heartbeat of her sweet baby was an experience I'll never forget," Felisha recalled. "Her baby is a fighter, and we'll forever be a part of his story."

The expectant mother doesn't have her own transportation, so 40 Days for Life volunteers are taking her to all of her doctor's appointments. "She just entered her second trimester," Felisha said. "She is doing great. Our community has stepped up to surround her with love and convinced her to make a baby registry. She’s been sending me "thank you" messages because items are already arriving." Abortion Pill Reversal is a critical tool in the post-Roe era!

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania The campaign team in Philly is also walking with a mother who chose to reverse her abortion. "Our lovely young APR mom is doing great!" wrote Monique, the local campaign leader. "She is holding fast to faith in Jesus! The little one had an ultrasound and had a beautiful, strong heartbeat." 40 Days for Life participants have offered to help babysit the woman's children, and they're encouraged by her resilience! "I'm blown away by how she responds to situations where others might have not been able to keep their cool," Monique said. "So blessed to know her."

Yuba City, California God used the Yuba City vigil to save a baby through APR during the 2022 Lent campaign. The abortion-minded woman chose life and gave birth to a baby boy last fall. The child's parents just got married--and one of the campaign team members was in attendance to serve as an official witness on the marriage certificate!

Jesus said to Simon, "Put out into deep water and lower your nets for a catch." Simon said in reply, "Master, we have worked hard all night and have caught nothing, but at your command I will lower the nets." --Luke 5:4-5 Father and Creator of human life, help us never to become discouraged in defending the full breadth of that most precious gift. Inspire us to remember that without You, we are powerless and that what we do for the least, especially the helpless unborn, we are doing for Your Son, who lives and works in and through us. Give us strength to persevere in Your will. Amen. See today's full devotional
