As a small group prayed outside Planned Parenthood in Boston, a woman walked out of the building ... and over to them.

"She was beaming, radiant with joy," said one of the vigil participants, "and just had to share her good news that she was keeping her child and not going to have an abortion!"

The woman thanked them profusely, saying "she was grateful to all of us for being there!"

She got into the car that had arrived to pick her up ... but rolled down the window and continued thanking the 40 Days for Life participants.

"I am trying to give you a sense of her joy," said the volunteer who related this story. "I do think her decision to keep her child was in some very real way an answer to all of our prayers and prayerful presence."
