40 Days for Life Closing Rally - Candle Lit Prayer Vigil
On Saturday, April 13th, HELP members and campaign participants gathered infront of Planned Parenthood in Bedford Hts., OH. We've been through a lot these last 40 days. Campaign kickoff events and movie premieres. Rain, wind, sleet, and snow. Thumbs up and middle fingers. Smiles and scowls. We've rejoiced with moms who've chosen life for their babies. We've allowed our hearts to be broken for the hearts stopped by abortion. We've sacrificed time, sleep, and maybe even some sweat. We have fought the good fight. We have finished the race. We have kept the faith. Whatever struggles, brokenness, bad decisions, or difficult circumstances led a woman to an abortion facility, our peaceful presence brought hope out of despair.And the result is the most beautiful sight in the world: a mother gazing upon her newborn baby for the first time.
