Education: Rosa and her husband had worked hard to buy a home, but now they were at risk to lose it. And on top of that, Rosa’s doctor told her that her unborn baby had a serious physical defect, and that she had diabetes. He and another doctor both recommended abortion. She was filled with guilt and grief, but feeling she had no choice, she scheduled an abortion. When |

she saw the volunteers outside the clinic she didn’t know what 40 Days for Life meant, but she was desperate for other options to abortion. She was told that the volunteers were there because they cared about her and her baby and could offer her help and alternatives.

She later gave birth to a daughter with no legs and a cleft palate, whom she named “Milagros – miracle”. Several months later, Milagros and her mother were happy and the volunteers were continuing to help the family. (2)

Prayer: Please, Lord, use this 40 Days for Life campaign to help many women choose life rather than abortion. Help the witness of the volunteers serve to remind all who enter the clinics to think about the preciousness of life, and look harder for alternative solutions to the problems they face. Help all pregnant women to become aware of the existence of pregnancy centers to offer them help and support. Help the staff of the abortion clinic to consider how much better they would feel about working somewhere else and consider leaving their jobs. Bless all the thousands of volunteers

Action: Please consider joining us for one of the three days of the current 40 Days for Life campaign that Christian Voices for Life is sponsoring at Planned Parenthood at 4600 Gulf Freeway. Do you have some time this Friday, Feb 26, or Wed Mar 9 or Thurs Mar 17 when you can stand and pray outside one of the largest abortion facilities in the world? We estimate that |

800 children are at risk for abortion AT THIS FACILITY, DURING THESE 40 DAYS. Perhaps YOUR witness will help save one of those children!
Although the address is on the Gulf Freeway, we stand on a quiet street on the other side of the building, where the driveways to the clinic are located. Go to our
40 Days signup to sign up! To sign up for any other day (Feb 10 – Mar 20), contact
Theresa@houstoncoalition.com, or call 713-395-1330. If you are not able to join us, please do pray where and when you can, for the women who are tempted, for those who are wounded by abortion and need forgiveness and healing, and for those who work in the abortion industry - particularly those who work for Planned Parenthood, not only at the main facility but at our local Stafford clinic.
