40 Days for Life: DAY 13: One of America's Most Depressing Abortion Facilities

 

God is answering prayers by saving lives every day during this Lenten 40 Days for Life campaign! An abortion-bound woman didn't interact with sidewalk counselors as she visited the abortion facility in Berwyn Heights, Maryland... ...but the expectant mother had more to say on her way out. "She had a beautiful smile on her face," explained Robert, the local campaign leader. "Our counselor asked her if she chose to keep her baby. The woman answered, 'Yes!'" The mom then accepted information on local pregnancy help resources before departing. The baby was saved just hours before the Berwyn Heights team welcomed 40 Days for Life general counsel Matt Britton to the vigil. "Great visit--in front of one of the worst and most depressing abortion facilities in the country," Matt said. Matt spoke to encourage vigil participants, and then the group prayed and sang hymns. "Bob, the leader, has done a good job assembling a solid core team that has near-constant vigil when this facility is open," Matt added. Sevilla, Spain Conchi was downcast as she stood vigil, having watched three couples walk through the doors of the abortion center. One of them appeared torn and uncertain, but they entered the facility anyway. Conchi doubled down on prayer, and--before she could even finish--the couple left. "We're keeping him!" the woman yelled on the way to her vehicle. Conchi offered support and resources to make sure the couple know they aren't alone in welcoming their fourth child into the world. "I thank God for illuminating their path," she added. "Please join me in praying for this family." Sarasota, Florida God puts the right people in the right places at the right times. Divine providence brought John out to the sidewalk when a Spanish-speaking woman headed into Planned Parenthood. After talking with the mom in her language, John accompanied her to the pregnancy help center, where she confirmed that she will keep her baby! It wasn't the only powerful conversation had during his vigil shift. Another client agreed to visit the pregnancy help center, and campaign volunteers continue to pray that she chooses life as well! Amen, amen, I say to you, we speak of what we know and we testify to what we have seen, but you people do not accept our testimony. If I tell you about earthly things and you do not believe, how will you believe if I tell you about heavenly things?” --John 3:11-12 Creator of all things, we praise you for your magnificent creation. We seek the truth in science because we cannot help but wonder at your works. Inspire our medical and scientific leaders to pursue the truth, proclaiming the existence of life in the womb and defending it until natural death. For life, Shawn Carney President & CEO, 40 Days for Life
