“Here she was, pondering another abortion”

Planned Parenthood, 1866 B Street, Hayward

News from the Trenches

This came to us in a March 7 email from Shawn Carney, national campaign director of 40 Days for Life.

A volunteer offered a “precious feet” pin to a woman who was leaving Planned Parenthood. Her hands were shaking, but she took it, asking what it was.

When the volunteer explained it’s what a baby’s feet look like at 10 weeks into pregnancy, the woman began to cry.

She has five children, she explained. But she’d also had an abortion and still suffers emotionally. Yet here she was at Planned Parenthood, pondering another abortion.

Volunteers went into action. One offered information about pro-life pregnancy and post-abortion resources, while another assured the woman that choosing life for her baby was God’s will. 

“Later that day, she arrived at the pregnancy resource center and got the help she needed,” said Lori in Hayward. “We are humbled by the many blessings God has given us this day. We pray God will continue to give us the grace to accomplish all He expects of us.”
