In the first week of this 40 Days for Life campaign, Brian in St. Louis reports four women turned away from Planned Parenthood and were referred to a life-affirming pregnancy resource center.

It wasn’t easy. Planned Parenthood wasn’t about to give up any customers.

A counselor was trying to talk to one of the moms, but a Planned Parenthood employee came rushing up to yell, “Don’t listen to anything she says!”

That frightened the young woman … but the counselor stayed calm and explained the free resources that were available at the pregnancy center right across the street.

In the end, she didn’t let the Planned Parenthood worker rattle her. She took up the offer of a free pregnancy test and ultrasound … and changed her mind about having an abortion.

Wilmington, Delaware

Some of the 40 Days for Life participants in Wilmington had a chance to speak to a woman outside Planned Parenthood.

They soon found out that her sister had an appointment for a chemical abortion … so they quickly offered a brochure about free healthcare and other pregnancy services.

Still, the woman said her sister had a toddler and didn’t think she could deal with another baby.

One of the volunteers asked her to bring the brochure to her inside Planned Parenthood. That was a bit risky, since escorts usually confiscate any life-affirming resources. But it worked.

About 30 minutes later, the woman and her sister both came out. The one who’d talked to the vigil participants called out, “Hey! She didn’t do it! She’s having twins … and she wanted me to tell you that you are the reason she changed her mind!”
