?Rejoice with me!? said one of the 40 Days for Life team members in Southfield.

A young mother drove out of the abortion center with tears in her eyes and told two vigil participants that she "couldn't go through with it."

?She has a family who is willing to support her choice for life,? one of the volunteers said. ?It was a very emotional experience for her to ?stagger towards death? and then pull back.?

She thanked the vigil participants for being there and quietly praying ? and said she was touched by their signs with messages about love.
