I never cease to be surprised by the stories of tragedy and hardship that lead women to walk through the doors of an abortion clinic. It is truly a place of sadness and death on several different levels. When Julie waved Sarah over to fence outside the back of Dr. Emily’s so that they could talk, neither of us expected what she would say.
Sarah was only 16 years old and wanted an abortion for her 19-week-old baby. She also has Aids, which is the primary reason she is seeking this abortion. Sarah ran away from home when she was 12 and began working the streets. Her prostitution led her to contract the Aids virus. This is her first pregnancy and she is now scared that her unborn child will be born with the disease.
After talking with Julie for quite a while, she still decided to go into the clinic. Dr. Emily’s would not perform the abortion, but referred her elsewhere.
However, this story is not over. Sarah has not yet had the abortion, so hope still remains. Join us in praying for Sarah and her unborn child. I have come to see that miracles do happen.

This sounds like a case for serious prayer and fasting. Thanks so much for sharing this very tough case with this young woman, in one of the biggest crises anyone could be in. Let's storm heaven for her! Chris
