Nothing causes more excitement during a 40 Days for Life campaign than saved TWINS!
A regular campaign participant in Houston had planned to take a day off from the vigil. But before long, he found himself back out in front of Planned Parenthood.
That last-minute decision proved to be a good one. A driver headed for Planned Parenthood stopped to talk with the volunteer, who offered a coupon for a free ultrasound.
The mother accepted and, before long, she was on a mobile pregnancy center bus where she learned she was carrying TWINS!
The volunteer couldn’t wait to share the news with his fellow prayer warriors. “God be praised!” he said.
Two lives saved–just like that!
It’s a beautiful story–but not an unusual one. Numerous sets of twins have been saved from abortion this campaign!
Florida
The couple sat on a bench outside the Sarasota Planned Parenthood, agonizing over the decision. At last, the young mother announced, “We’re going to keep it. We’re having twins.”
Rich, who leads the local campaign was elated. “It is awesome! Life is awesome! And this couple realized it!”
Similarly, a mother in Kissimmee changed her mind about abortion.
Why? “You all! That’s what changed my mind!”
Spokane, Washington
When Joanna in Spokane learned of a couple visiting Planned Parenthood to abort twins, she rallied her volunteers.
“Within hours of sending out that plea, we had more people showing up to pray than had signed up,” she said. “And there were multiple offers to adopt those children. In a moment of crisis, Spokane stepped forward with such extravagant love.”
Sadly, the children were lost to abortion anyway. Still, Joanna and her team accomplished something of eternal value: “These two babies were loved and prayed over before they died.”
And it happened, when Elizabeth heard the greeting of Mary that the babe leaped in her womb; and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit. Then she spoke out with a loud voice and said, “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb! But why is this granted to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me? For indeed, as soon as the voice of your greeting sounded in my ears, the babe leaped in my womb for joy. —Luke 1:41-44
Jesus, open my eyes to your presence in the life of every child. Open my heart to joy in the birth of every child, a birth that reflects the joy of your own birth in Bethlehem. As you shared life in the womb of Mary, so now send your protection upon every child still in the womb, and grant to their mothers the strength and joy that comes from welcoming the gift of life.
