AMAZING!

Today was an amazing day in the South Bronx center. Due to the fact that there were four interns and two volunteers at the center, Chris requested that leafleting be done and a table be set up. The table had magazines which featured information on abortion and fetal development as well as a television playing a dvd showing images of babies killed by abortion. Having to go back to the life house to get the 19" tv/dvd player along with a table did not sound like the most appealing thing to do with more than half the day gone but we did it anyways, and you would not have been able to guess what happened. The DVD showing the carnage of abortion drew and SHOCKED a great number of people passing by on the busy sidewalk. As I was talking to one person I noticed three young ladies standing in awe right infront of the television. They could not believe what they were seeing. These were not simply women whose minds were changed about abortion, one young lady in the group, was actually on her way to have an abortion down the street. After talking a bit on the street, the one girl and her friends followed me up the stairs to the pregnancy center. They met Liz, and we set up an appointment for some time next week. While it was clear she had made her mind up about not having the abortion, further counselling and a sonogram was set up just in case. How incredible, she was literally minutes away from having an abortion.
