A young couple had just left Planned Parenthood when a 40 Days for Life prayer volunteer caught their attention. As they talked, they explained that they didn?t think they could afford another child.

It turns out they couldn?t even afford the $75 Planned Parenthood wanted to charge them for an ultrasound.

That's when the vigil participant said they could get a free ultrasound at a nearby pregnancy help center. When the center's director heard this couple was on the way, she dropped everything and headed back to arrange the ultrasound.

All this time, the young man and woman smiled as they read a brochure about the development of the baby ? and talked about what they were seeing.

As they left for the pregnancy center, the woman said, ?We hope it?s a boy.?
