Mario, the local leader in Adelaide, says the 40 Days for Life team there knows of at least three babies saved from abortion during this campaign.

One morning recently the 40 Days for Life vigil participants noticed a couple going into the abortion facility. But they weren’t inside long – only about 10 or 15 minutes.

When they came out, they stood somewhat near the spot where people were praying, but they didn’t speak to any of the volunteers. After a few minutes, they drove away – still without a word.

About ten minutes later, a woman approached the people praying and said she had good news to share.

She explained that she had been working with a young couple – the one that had just left. She said they had decided not to have an abortion after all. She added that the volunteers did a wonderful thing by standing and praying outside the abortion center.

The volunteer was overcome by emotion at hearing that news … and thanked the woman for coming to them to let them know what had taken place.

Mario called it “an absolutely God-filled moment.”

As volunteers prayed outside the abortion center, they saw two cars drive up. A woman and her mother were in the first car… and in the second, the younger woman’s grandparents.

The young woman entered the abortion center, the mother and grandmother left … and the grandfather stayed behind.

He saw the people praying, and went to ask why they were there. When they explained, his face went flush.

He told them he was only told his granddaughter was having a medical procedure, and couldn’t drive afterward. He was visibly upset at the thought that this “procedure” might be an abortion.

His granddaughter was the mother of three – and he couldn’t understand why she would do this.

A volunteer gave him information about the helpful resources that are available in the community. Not long afterward, she came outside – and got into a heated conversation with her grandfather. However, he was able to hand her the information from the vigil participants as she stormed back inside.

A short time later, the young woman’s mother returned and talked to the grandfather. She looked in the volunteers’ direction and told them to keep praying!

It wasn’t long before the younger woman left the building again – and got in her mother’s car. As the two drove off, the mother called out “Thank you!” and gave the vigil participants a thumbs-up sign.

“What a great feeling,” said one of the volunteers. “Thank you for getting me involved in this effort and making a positive change in my life!”
