She Got Off the Table and Left!




By Shawn Carney, President
Forty Days for Life


In El Paso, Texas, a woman pulled into the abortion center parking lot and just sat in her car for a long time.


When she got out … she didn’t immediately go inside. Instead, she knelt in prayer with 40 Days for Life volunteers on the sidewalk.

She told the volunteers she lived four hours away … and her doctor was pressuring her to have an abortion because of “medical concerns.” Although she didn’t want an abortion, she felt like she had no choice.

She got back in her car and drove away. But then … she came back. With a heavy heart, she went inside. 

As she was on the table waiting for a surgical abortion, she heard another woman sobbing from the next room. She realized that she could not go through with it … and immediately got up and left!

Volunteers directed her to a pregnancy help center, where she learned her situation is not hopeless and that abortion is not necessary. She was able to get life-affirming medical assistance for herself … and her baby. 

Please keep their family in your prayers!

More than 14,000 times since 40 Days for Life started in 2007, moms just like this have rejected abortion at the last minute. And it’s because people just like you are praying on the sidewalk outside!
