"What Kind of a Place Is This????
From the blog of 40 Days for Life for Sunday 28 Feb 2010 that shows you what kind of place an abortion clinic really is:
Two volunteers stood in the rain and prayed at a 40 Days for Life vigil last week as a young man drove up, got out of his car with the engine still running, and walked over to talk to them
“I just wanted to thank you for being here,” he said. “I know you know what kind of a place this is,” he said, pointing towards the abortion facility. “Can I tell you a story about it?”
The prayer volunteers nodded yes, and the young man began to pour out his heart.
He said a couple of weeks ago, his wife was not at home and he had no idea where she was — until he got a phone call from the hospital. “My wife had been admitted because she was having seizures,” he said.
At the hospital, he found out his wife was pregnant. It would be a struggle with two young children already, he said, but they’d work it out.
As he spent more time at the hospital, it began to dawn on this young man that no one was telling him the whole truth. He realized something was seriously amiss when his wife told him she’d left her car at an abortion facility.
He thinks she went there for a chemical abortion — the abortion pill. She began to have seizures and was taken to the hospital.
His wife insisted she was still pregnant, but he simply didn’t know for sure.
“I haven’t stopped crying in over two weeks,” he said. “What kind of place is this that would do this to a married woman without telling her husband, the father of the baby?”
“We asked if we could pray for him,” said one of the prayer team members. “As we prayed, the young man began to cry again. Just imagine how he felt — betrayed, helpless. We assured him that he will get through this trial and that God loves him.”
Vigil participants hugged him, and he thanked them for being there on this rainy day. “Please keep being here,” he said, and then returned to his car and drove away. “While we did not save a baby from an abortion,” said the volunteer, “we brought Christ to a hurting father.”
Please pray for this young man, who fears he may have lost his child to abortion. Please pray as well for his wife and for his family. Please pray that those who are deceived by the abortion industry will be awakened to the truth of God’s love — and the awareness that all things are possible with God.
“And, if you are willing,” the vigil participant said, “please consider joining us as we keep vigil for these 40 Days for Life.”
