It's interesting that the situations we get confronted with never cease to surprise us - many women sadly succumb to poor situations and think abortion a necessity, as if they don't have a choice, more positively though, every day we are able by the grace of God to help change the most hardened women's hearts. A few days ago, for instance, a girl who has had 14 abortions in this country and Nigeria was returning for a prenatal appointment because after a consultation she had decided to choose life on her 15th pregnancy - I even overheard the sonogram technician say she heard the doctor said it was basically a miracle she could sustain a pregnancy at all. The story gets more incredible though when this girl with multiple abortions was actually assisting in changing the heart of another woman in the sonogram room. She was really on fire - speaking about forgiveness and the gift of life reminiscent of that charismatic preaching in many southern churches. It was so very moving.
I learned that if we can change one heart, we are saving more than one life (the baby), or even two lives (the mother), we have the ability to create the most incredible pro-lifers around, save many lives, and even change the world.
