?Praise the Lord!? said one of the California leaders. ?Two babies were saved from abortion at the Yuba City 40 Days for Life!?

Both of these young women went to Planned Parenthood for pregnancy tests. They were being pressured ? feeling distraught ? and considering the abortion pill.

Thankfully, one of the volunteers was able to provide life-affirming encouragement ? giving the women information about fetal development, directing them to a pro-life pregnancy help center and exchanging contact information so they could get back in touch.

One of the women did just that, sending back a text message after her visit to the help center.

?Thank you again!? she wrote. ?I?m so incredibly thankful you guys were out there that day. You guys knew the exact words to make me feel better. And I knew you guys would as soon as I pulled up. God really does work in such amazing ways!?
