(Shawn Carney) - Women have abortions because they have lost hope.

Abortion centers are hopeless places. They survive on fear and despair. When you are there praying, you are the last sign of hope for the baby as the woman enters to have the abortion … and the first sign of hope — and first impression of mercy — as the woman exits after the abortion.

This hope and mercy come from Christ, in whom all things are possible. Thank you for bringing His hope and mercy to the places they are so desperately needed.

The friend is a teenager who is pregnant. Her family and most of her friends are pressuring her to abort — all except this woman, who knows abortion’s impact firsthand.

The teenager walked out of Planned Parenthood, met her friend, and spoke briefly. The woman then returned to talk to Darla and her sons.

Darla said, “I am so thankful that the Holy Spirit prompted us to stay, despite the bad weather.”
