March 16, 2010 (40DaysforLife.com) - Over the last few days, I was on a whirlwind tour of Southern California -- from Fresno down to San Diego. In addition to speaking at two pregnancy center banquets, I was able to visit numerous 40 Days for Life sites and meet for dinner with several dozen local 40 Days for Life campaign leaders. It was a very hope-filled trip!
I brought along my pocket camcorder and shot footage all along the way -- and just posted a highlight video online for you here.
During the short video, you will see:
- Photos of two baby boys saved during a previous 40 Days for Life campaign who were born a week ago - on the same day ...
- A 40 Days for Life location where 22 babies have been saved and the abortionist resigned ...
- A small group of faithful volunteers who had two women change their minds and choose life shortly after I left their vigil site ...
- A campaign that has seen 7 lives saved thus far ...
- And much, much more!
As you can see, there are miracles taking place in many, many places were people are joining together to pray and fast for an end to abortion.
As they pray outside the abortion centers, people are beginning to understand that the woman who seeks an abortion is often a woman who has simply run out of hope.
One such woman saw people praying at the 40 Days for Life vigil recently in Indianapolis, Indiana. She got out of her car, walked up to them at a rapid pace ... then hugged one of the vigil participants and started to cry.
This prayer volunteer -- Kathy -- called Eileen, the local coordinator, for help. At Eileen's suggestion, Kathy then handed her phone to the sobbing woman.
"She then started telling me that she had done something terrible," Eileen said, "and that the father of the baby -- her daughter's boyfriend -- told her that she must get an abortion."
Eileen told her that if she did, she would feel even worse and would regret it forever. "I tried to encourage her that at this point," she said. "She could still do the right thing -- the thing her heart was telling her to do -- and that God would take care of her and the baby."
After lunch with Kathy, the woman went home. She called Kathy later to thank her -- and to say she was not going to abort her twins!
"I have never met a woman who WANTED to have an abortion," said Eileen.
The volunteers didn't know it at the time, but this woman had sat alone in her car outside of Planned Parenthood for two hours -- crying.
When Kathy drove up, the woman saw a sign on Kathy's car that said, "Pregnant? Need help?"
"It gave her hope," said Eileen. "She jumped out of her car to run to Kathy for help. We never know what God will use to reach out to us."

What a thrill to see those two little babies! We serve an awesome God!
That is wonderful news! I wish every woman who wanted an abortion would tour a neo-natal ICU and see those tiny babies fighting for life, the way they grab your finger, clinging to another human being. They already have their own little personalities. They are definitely not “just a clump of cells” as the pro-abortion crowd would have us believe. That the pro-aborts would allow babies of the very same gestational age as these neonate to be aborted is just inhuman. I know ultrasound images can be convincing to some, but until you see those tiny babies in their incubators, it just doesn’t hit home. I was always pro-life, but I felt much more strongly about it after nursing school which includes a rotation through the NICU.
Very true.
I was watching a rerun of the TV show “House” the other day. It was about an ill pregnant woman. Anyway House kept calling the baby “fetus”. He refused to acknowledge it as being human.
That is until he had to perform surgery on it. You see this close up of this tiny hand reaching up out of the incision and touching his finger and then the camera scanned up see the look of wonder on his face.
It was truly a wonderful moment.

That story was heavily influenced by that of Baby Samuel (see http://www.michaelclancy.com/ )
PS: The doctor in the picture is Dr. Bruner...who just happened to head my son’s care team at the NICU the same year as Samuel’s surgery. My son wasn’t a surgery patient, but was a micro preemie.
Bump!
Pro-life bump!
