I’ve prayed in front of abortion clinics before. But I’ve never counseled the women walking in. I always think there’s someone who’s trained in it or better suited. But the truth is that someone needs to say something. And there are countless children out there whose life hung in the balance when someone on the sidewalk of a clinic said something to remind the mothers that they were carrying a baby.
I believe there’s a special place in Heaven for sidewalk counselors who stand in front of abortion clinics. Watch this. To be honest, you have no idea what this couple is ultimately going to decide but at least they were thinking about their decision. You can see that when they first stop, they’re treating the sidewalk counselor lady like she’s a bit touched in the noggin’. But then they start listening to her.

Amen!!! They save countless babies. They save countless mothers from the lifelong loss of their child. Ditto for fathers. They witness to the truth of the babies' sanctity and inviolability and salute them, witnessing to the evil and unlawfulness of their killing. They are the face of a nation's conscience.

I wish there had been someone like this there to talk me out of mine.

This is beautiful! We are taking some youth to a sidewalk counseling training session this weekend. It will take time, maturity, and courage to do what this woman did, but we need to start leading our children to that place of confidence in truth. What good are we as Christian people if we stay silent while children die? Thanks for posting this… I'm off to show my kids.

My husband just came home from work in the middle of me watching this video, and I got goose bumps all over just describing to him the good work that the sidewalk counselor was doing. She spoke to that couple with only love. Beautiful! Thank you so much for sharing this!

That woman made my day. That is true witness. She was persistent but not offensive. She didn't shy away from truth.
