I've witnessed many women change their minds and not have an abortion during 40 Days for Life over the years since it began in 2010, especially before the buffer zones came in. Due to my working with the Good Counsel Network and taking part in the vigils, I can remember some amazing turnarounds that were definitely God's intervention. But even now with the buffer zones in place we are still receiving wonderful news from time to time such as recently a friend came to tell us that a woman she knew did not show up for her abortion that morning. We have also had people come up to us in the street now and again and introduce us to their child, the ones whose mothers or fathers saw us praying and decided not to go ahead with their abortions. We had not known they had kept their babies but they had witnessed the people praying at the vigils as a sign from God that they should do the right thing and continue their pregnancy.
