A couple who looked to be in their 20s arrived at one of the Planned Parenthood locations last week while two sidewalk counselors were standing out front. The couple was well aware of why the counselors were, but ignored their offer of information and help, and proceeded into the center. The boyfriend came back out a short while later, again ignoring the counselors, and went back to his car.
However, about an hour and a half later, the woman walked out to the counselors and said, “You guys won. I couldn’t go through with it.” She did not stop to talk, but after getting into their car and starting to leave, the counselor motioned to the passenger window, and the driver paused the car and opened the window. The counselor gave them information on a nearby pregnancy resource center and told them that help was available for them. The woman thanked the counselor and they drove away.
Every life is a gift from God. This simple story from last week exemplifies how peacefully standing up for life in front of an abortion center can make a difference at that critical moment for a woman in crisis.
The above was part of a Feb. 23 email from the Helpers of God’s Precious Infants in San Diego.
That mother and her baby “won.” And, the boyfriend “won.”
Let us pray for all during this time of widespread sexual confusion and death.
Good — for the woman, the man, and the counselors. PP did not force the woman to have an abortion against her will.
Praise to the Lord.
Thank you for sharing some uplifting news.It is much appreciated.
Deo gratias, and thanks to the councilors also.
That young woman showed great courage. She already won the best battle. She defended her little one against Satan. She thought beyond the moment and didn’t focus on any fear or uncertainty. She loved. I pray the Lord will fill her with many graces as she goes forward. Love is always a gift worth giving. You always get back more.
