Turn Away😊


One of the goals of a pro life advocate is encourage someone intending to walk into an abortion center to turn away and get back in their car to go to a health care clinic or pregnancy care center instead. Logic says that this should happen anytime someone stops to talk to one of us. The truth is that it rarely happens. In fact when it does it is almost shocking. Today a couple, a woman who was with a male partner walked up to talk to me and took the flier with the information about all of the other resources and walked back to her partner. They started to walk towards the clinic and turned around to walk back to the car and drove out of the parking lot. The man shouted “we are keeping it”. I can't say for sure if he was serious but I do know that this turn away bought the mother in crisis time to think. I don't know where they were planning to go or even if they were bluffing and planning to go back to the wbortion center. None of this matters because she seemed stressed about walking in and this little change bought her time. It bought her time if she is pregnant and just as importantly it bought her time to have a chance to be in control of her circumstances. She is also now armed with several options for care. These options range from Obria, the pro life women's healthcare center to pregnancy care center and a list of federally qualified health care centers. She didn't have any of this in her arsenal when she drove in. During a second thought she chose life for the time being. We can hope and pray that she will ,because of that pivot, continue to choose life.

 🙏Truth Talk Things dont always go well on the sidewalk in front of Planned Parenthood. Today was a glaring reminder. The truth of the reality of the definition of a bad day as an advocate needs to be known. It is the only way we can begin to  win the war. It is my opinion that until one actually sees the truth of evil it is hard to believe it exists. The abortion industry is pure evil disguised by a vale of deception. It is an industry that makes money by killing the next generation. It`s an industry that destroys families. People who are pro choice choose, yes, I said choose, because “choice” is what the pro abortion movement is all about, to look away from the truth of what is happening. Death by abortion is happening every single day. Appointments to abort a baby at 16 weeks gestation are happening every day. In fact I watched it happen today.  The mother in this situation is 19 years old. She has a job at Amazon and is so conscientious about health that she wore a mask while talk

  The Pass 🙌 I met Anna at the Fresno Fair where Right to Life was hosting a booth. She was working there and stopped at our booth. She was looking around. She lingered, in my opinion, just a little too long. She was asking lots of curious questions. My pro life advocate intuition started to work so I asked her what was going on and if she was pregnant. Anna said she was. She thought she might be about four months pregnant. I invited her to sit and talk. She told me her story as it stood. She is a mother of two already and the father of the children is involved. He's leaving the military for medical reasons and looking for his next venture. He doesn't think this is a good time to have another baby because they already have one that is only seven months old. She knows she wants to keep the baby because she believes in choosing life but she is nervous and feels unsupported. We talked about all of the resources that are available to her and all the things Right to Life will do to

High Five ✋  My coworker and I stand outside of Planned Parenthood almost daily. We truly are trying to save a life or two. Actually when it comes down to it we are  trying to save families. When you do this day in and day out and it gets difficult because we measure our accomplishments the same way we measure any accomplishment. We look for results. If nobody changes their mind then we feel like we are failures. There are a lot of feelings of failure because we dont always get to know the outcome of our presence. . Fortunately there are two of us working so we keep each other from going too far down the path of doubt. We also remind each other how much Satan is involved in this.  The flip side is that when someone does change their mind it feels like you hit a home run. We  even do funny things like high five when someone leaves after telling us they are changing their mind and keeping the baby. Last week we talked to two women in a row who chose life. One seemed to be on the fence. T
