Today we got a definite save, thanks to Steve D, Dr. Lisa and two prayer warriors.

Saturday 2/28/09, was a day filled with excitement at the Womancare abortion mill.
Let me set the stage first:
The KofC from Blessed Sacrament Cathedral signed up for 10-11am each Sat for the vigil.
A seminarian from Sacred Heart Seminary came, not dressed for the weather. He obviously missed Steve's demo on how to dress for the coldest, windiest corner that we know of. Lucky for him, in the van, there were some hats and gloves from the fall campaign.
He took the sign, "honk for life" onto the medium. And got alot of approving honks, which made us feel encouraged. While there he prayed the rosary as he walked shivering (brrr!!) back and forth, in the wind. He said it's cold, but I will offer it up. Brave soul. I think he will be a good priest, because he knows how to sacrifice and shows it..

Steve Dawson, Dr Lisa and a recent convert and myself were praying and talking religion in the mid-way of the sidewalk, just in front of the mill's doors.
A lady casually walked out with her head bowed down. She walked toward the southern end of the abortion mill, where the sidewalk and the driveway meet.
She stopped at the corner of the building, leaning up against it, head down. I approached here cautiously thinking she was an escort and being remorseful.
I offered her a rosary, as a conversational opener. She didn't speak as tears beginning to roll down her cheeks. (When I'm with a person [woman] and they begin to cry, I become putty in their hands. Don't let my secret out, ok?) So I begin to ask with her to tell me what's wrong. She begin to say, "I just can't do it. I just can't do it."
Smart me asks her: do what? (Duuhh!)
Now she begins to tell me: Her boyfriend and another fellow had drop her off 10 minutes earlier and taken her inside to have the abortion. They went back to the car to wait. Then she came back outside after several minutes. One of the fellows in the car came up to her and gave her a bottle of water, then went back to his car, without saying a word. Probably to intimidate her. I called to Steve to keep praying and be alert because this was a live wire situation and there was no way to tell what might happen next, with the fellows.
Steve and the others must have been praying awfully hard, because I begin to get emotional and more protective for the lady's situation.
I offer to take her to a coffee shop to talk. She begin to say, "I just want to go home." (Later she told me she had an eight year old child.)
I offer her a ride home, after she told me her friends in the car had other plans.

Now here is where we must be careful, and get away from here without the guys in the car being aware of her leaving, with me.
I pointed out my car to her, which was in a distant parking lot, and told her to meet me there. The guys in the car were busy doing something else and didn't see her slip away. They tried calling her several times, on her cell, as I was driving her home. She didn't answer. Steve kept an eye on the two and called to say the guys went into the abortion mill looking for her, came out then drove around the block looking for her. By that time, I had gotten her back home, which was about 10 mile away.
On the way to her apartment in the 7 mile road and Telegraph area, she told me that he is really a nice guy. She had mentioned that he did not demand her to get the abortion, but he said: we have grown children and we don't need anymore. She originally agreed. So he begin to suggest, then pressure her to make an appointment and to finally go inside and have the abortion by herself.
She is on Section 8. Which is a form of welfare, no doubt.
She was given a packet of pro-life literature, with the 1-800 and other Problem Pregnancy numbers inside. We exchanged phone numbers so I could keep in touch with her progress.
I have a feeling her situation may become dangerous if her fellow comes around and has not changed his attitude. Please pray for her and our mission of life.

We need to think also about being Pro-active: preparing for life-saving situations. Contact your local Problem Pregnancy office. Volunteer, Learn, Pray.
