Before heading to the 40 Days for Life vigil outside Planned Parenthood, volunteers stopped at a pregnancy help center to pick up pamphlets.

Staff members told them those pamphlets are a big help on the sidewalk, as just a few days earlier a young woman had come in ? with the information she was given at the vigil. After she talked with the counselors, she decided to keep her baby.

When the volunteers arrived at Planned Parenthood, they stood near the driveway, praying and offering those pamphlets from the pregnancy help center.

Two young women stopped ? and were shocked to learn that Planned Parenthood did abortions. They were there for checkups, not abortions. But after learning what happened there, both said they wouldn?t go back.
