40 Days of Prayer Keeps on Saving Lives

More good news from the Spring 40 Days for Life.

From the DAY 4 post on the blog:

I’m encouraged by the prayer team in Iowa, who spoke to a troubled woman outside a Planned Parenthood abortion center. The young woman was pregnant with twins, and she had arrived for her abortion.
But apparently, she only had enough to pay for aborting one baby but not two. Planned Parenthood wanted more money.
After she spoke with counselors outside the clinic, this mother of twins decided to keep her babies. Praise God!

& while it hasn't been confirmed, the Ottawa campiagn reports that they may have saved 4 lives:

Vigil participant, Doris G., wrote on the 40 Days for Life blog that on Day 1, a couple went into the abortion facility. But before they did so Doris was able to give them a pamphlet and exchange a few words with them. The couple went up into the centre while looking through the literature, but then came out a half hour later, despite the fact that women who have an abortion are usually in the centre for several hours.
"We can't be sure if the life of a child was saved, but I was greatly encouraged," said Doris. Three other similar incidents occurred, that Doris says cannot be definitely confirmed, but which indicate turnarounds. (4 Lives Possibly Saved in Only Two Days at 40 Days for Life Vigil in Ottawa)

Either way they are having an effect. People are being witnessed to, seeds are being planted & someday they may bear fruit. Even with those who reject the attempts of those praying & witnessing as happenned at a Florida site:

At an abortion facility in Florida, a woman and her daughter got out of their truck. It was a chilly morning, and not many people were present outside.
But one man saw that these two were headed for the door, and he feared the daughter was arriving for an abortion.
He identified himself as the pastor of a Baptist church in town, offered to put them in touch with a pro-life pregnancy center, and tried to hand them some literature. The older woman looked at the pastor and said, “I don’t want your information. We’re Catholic.” The women then walked past him and into the clinic.
The others standing vigil were stunned and felt a sense of failure. But in time, they realized that by faithfully answering God’s call to stand and pray, they may have provided the only display of love that this child ever knew here on earth. (DAY 4: Is anything happening?)

As a Catholic, I am saddened by the fact that the woman claimed to be Catholic yet still was taking her daughter into the clinic. I don't know if the woman merely hardened her own heart & was using her alledged Catholicism as an excuse or if her conscience was misinformed by people claiming to teach Catholic doctrine who told her an abortion is OK. Either way, a seed was planted. The 40 Days participants were faithful. & that will bear fruit.
