 In April at our outreach, a woman with her family stopped to thank us for our efforts. She approached Susan and Roberto to say that, about 3 years ago, she was going to Planned Parenthood to have her baby aborted but she changed her mind because of the people out front with signs. Her young daughter, the survivor, was there with the rest of the family and they all expressed their happiness over what God had done. 
  In May, Terri & I were at the abortion clinic in Lowry and a woman stopped to tell me that about 2 years ago she had had her baby aborted at the clinic there. She told me that it was the worst decision she had ever made. Through tears she told me that the people at the clinic told her that they would help her and she did not see help anywhere else. I told her of how God is a merciful God who can forgive any sin if we turn to Jesus and ask Him. While shedding more tears she said that she knows that because since then she has become a Christian. 
  One woman could shed tears of joy because Christians "showed up" in her (and even more so her child's) time of need. 
 One woman shed tears of regret because Christians didn't "show up" in her (and even more so her child's) hour of need. 
  The victims of this holocaust are just as much our neighbors as the Jewish people were in Nazi Germany; as the slaves in the US and throughout the world when it legal; as the guy that was dying in the ditch in Luke 10. 
   The preborn children being threatened with abortion are:
      Our neighbors whom we are called to love as ourselves Matt. 22:39
      Fatherless who we are called to defend PS. 82:3
      Orphans who we are called to "look after" James 1:27
      The dumb that we are called speak out for PS. 31:8
      The innocent being led off to slaughter who we are called to rescue Prov. 24:10-12
