Where Two Enter, Only One Leaves



Respect Life Apostolate

The 40 Days for Life Campaign continues through Nov. 6.

MQP's Focus Day at the campaign was Oct. 21.  Several of our parishioners showed up to pray, counsel and offer life-giving resources.

Watching women being driven in and out of the parking lot is heartbreaking.  Sometimes it was very obvious that where two entered, only one left.  Women in leaving in tears and covered in blankets puts a face on the horror of what happens 3,500 times a year at this facility for "reproductive resources."

However, at least one woman had her heart turned that day.  She told a sidewalk counselor that she was being pressured to have an abortion, but she didn't want to.  She did not know about the resources available to her.  So instead of going inside for the appointment that would end the life of her baby, she went to ThriVe, just a couple of blocks away to pursue life-giving options.  

A few more women said that they were just coming into PP for an ultrasound.  They were cautioned that this is a dangerous place to come for prenatal care and offered free alternatives.  Seeds are being planted.  The current campaign is 40 days, but the monster remains all year.  There is much more to come on our activities and resources.
