The culture describes abortion as a ?women?s issue.? But certainly, men often have an important role to play ? even if they have no legal standing whatsoever when it comes to ?choice.?

While a young woman was inside the abortion center, 40 Days for Life vigil participants in Grand Rapids spoke to her husband outside. It didn?t take them long to learn that he desperately wanted to protect his wife and child. It was on the sidewalk that he received just the sort of encouragement he needed.

After speaking with the counselor, he went straight into the abortion center ? and came back out with his wife and their unborn child. ?God is so good!? said one volunteer.
