Saved Baby?
On Monday afternoon, there were 3 prayer warriors on the sidewalk right after Planned Parenthood staff had left. 5 minutes later a car full of 4 women pulled up. The women walked up to the door of Planned Parenthood and saw that the door was locked. The women then crossed to the other side of the street to the future Women's Care Center to read the sign by the gate.
One of the prayer warriors asked, "Do you ladies need help with anything?" One of them, a young woman, said "Yes, I'm looking for information about an abortion. The prayer warriors started to talk to the woman and her sister about abortion. By looking at her, it was obvious that the young woman was very pregnant and quite sad. The prayer warriors referred her to resources to help. When they mentioned the physical and psychological negative effects of abortion, the sister of this young woman responded, "Yeah, but isn't the psychological trauma of having a baby and giving it away worse?" One of the prayer warriors was able to speak to the women on the benefits of adoption versus the consequences of abortion. She shared that, even if you give your baby up for adoption, you can know that you gave some person out there the gift of life. At that point, the pregnant woman started to cry and walk away.As the pregnant woman walked back to the car she turned around and shouted, "I know. I have two children of my own already!"
After the pregnant woman went to her car, the prayer warriors spent some more time talking to the sister. She said that she also had kids and would never have an abortion. She said she thought about it for the last two, but does not regret choosing to give them life. the prayer warriors encouraged this woman to talk to her pregnant sister to see that the pregnant sister received help from the resources the prayer warriors provided.
The interaction seemed rushed, and the prayer warriors weren't able to get the names of the women before they left. Have you seen the pregnant mom? The young pregnant woman, probably in her 20's, had a darker complexion with dyed red hair and tatoos on her neck and right shoulder. She also had some facial piercings. The woman looked obviously pregnant. We pray that she will never decide to come back to Planned Parenthood. Please let us know immediately if you have seen a woman with this description.
