Sometimes the boyfriend does help

A very abortion minded woman came into one of our pregnancy centers with her boyfriend. We spoke with her for hours - she listened to us and watched the videos we shared, but was largely unmoved.

That was until we began speaking with the boyfriend and he saw one of the more graphic videos we have called the 'Choice Blues.' Immediately a truly manly nerve was hit and he concluded that the decision to have an abortion was out of the question. He wanted to protect his family, not destroy them.

Then as we talked together - boyfriend, girlfriend, and myself, the boyfriend made a very cogent point that perhaps finally persuaded the girl: "What if I took you to have the abortion and something happened to you, how would that make me look."

Good question.

When men act like men and work to fight for their families, that is one of the best ways to eliminate the abortion decision from the mind of the mother. Lets hope many more such men arise.
