Fresh from the front lines of Dallas abortion center sidewalks, here are the latest stories of our sidewalk counselors helping abortion-minded women see the light in choosing life for them and their child. The names of the mothers and family members have been changed for their protection.

This is why we’re in this business - for life; one life, one choice at a time. Please keep these mothers, their babies, friends, family and sidewalk counselors in your prayers as we keep fighting the good fight on the front lines.

If you think this is something you’re interested in, email cplc@prolifedallas.org with your name and how you want to help.

Another incredible thing to add to the list -- I just got a call today from a girl that Geri and I counseled last week at the late-term abortion facility, and she called to say that she decided to keep her baby! Praise God, another life! So, how wonderful -- God is working through difficult circumstances at that facility (how frustrating it can be to counsel there, at times!) -- and He is showing us that good fruit will continue to come and come from the prayer and counseling presence out there!! I pointed her to BirthChoice, and she will be going there within the next week!

Today, we also witnessed a turnaway at Robinson's -- I was out there with Geri today, and I was getting ready to leave when we realized a woman pulled in who only spoke Spanish. We got her to Birthchoice, and she was chatting with a Spanish-speaking prayer volunteer, and began to cry. We were able to get her in to talk to Estelle, and I was able to translate until we got someone (more) fluent in there!

It was another beautiful story of a woman who wanted to keep her baby (this, her third), but the dad was going to have none of it! She left BirthChoice with 2 Spanish speaking-friends, one of which who said she would pick her up each Sunday for Mass. So, truly, a victory for a whole young family!

Kenneth Scott & I were on the sidewalk and a woman drove in to the parking lot. She came over and was there for "a sonogram", but was encouraged to go to Birth Choice instead. On the walk over, she was distraught... lots of stuff on her plate. Dee (first time to counsel at Birth Choice) talked with her, loaded her down with stuff, contacts, (including Dr. B.) and directions to W.Rose for the sonogram. Mary Burner waited for Katalina at White Rose.... which took awhile. No one was sure if Katalina had abandoned considering abortion. But she saw the sonogram. Sonogram shows she is about 14.5 weeks. She is scheduled to come back in 3 weeks. I saw Katalina as she was coming out of W. Rose. She was so happy and said, "I've done everything, listened to everyone, watched the videos. I am hoping this is a girl." She was crying "happy tears" and so grateful... so very grateful.

There has been a save each day at Robinson's this week (except for when closed Thanksgiving Day)!!

Today a woman and her sister went into the clinic. One sister Dolores came out and was encouraged to go back in and bring her pregnant sister Carol over to Birth Choice... if only to find out what her options are for assistance and services for free. Dolores did that, i.e. went back in and talked to her pregnant sister about going over to Birth Choice!

They both came out after a relatively short time. Lauren Muzyka walked with them over to Birth Choice.

Carol is excited about this new baby and her sister was just glowing! She saved this little niece or nephew's life!

All SWC's and Prayer Support rejoiced... as (did and is) the Heavenly Witness.
We give thanks to Almighty Holy God!

WFAA Channel 8 saw our e-alert about the new late-term abortion facility and interviewed CPLC Executive Director Karen Garnett and CPLC sidewalk counselor Jackie Lee for this story that aired Tuesday night. Dr. Curtis Boyd admits he’s performed 300,000 abortions since opening the first abortion center in Texas in 1973.

Words from our Executive Director Karen Garnett:

Since the original story ran, we were able to confirm that one more mother turned away from the facility yesterday. We praise God that THREE babies and mothers were spared the tragedy of abortion yesterday!

Note that in the live news story, Jason said that two pregnancies (we had said "babies' lives") had been "saved" yesterday. Thank you, Jason -- we are definitely trying to save as many babies from death and help as many mothers as possible! The online version of the story was edited on wfaa.com to "preventing two abortions." CPLC sidewalk counselors seek to dialogue with women approaching for abortions, but do not take any actions to "prevent" (block, keep) them from entering an abortion facility.

Please consider sending an e-mail to Jason Whitely at jwhitely@wfaa.com to thank him for reporting the story, including the staggering number of children killed in Curtis Boyd's practice, and for mentioning the 4:30 p.m. Memorial Prayer Service at Fairmount this Saturday.

It is our sincere prayer that consciences will be awakened as the truth is revealed, and more people than ever before will pray and work harder than ever before to bring an end to this grievous crime against humanity, the daily mass killing of unborn children in the American abortion holocaust.
