Precious Babies

At a White House dinner party some years ago, 2 distinguished women were carrying on a conversation.  Everyone was listening to learn what they were talking about.  During the conversation, one woman asked the other a very simple question.  "Why do you think that in the USA, a country with all our liberties and freedoms, we have never elected a female president?"  The other woman, without looking up from her meal, calmly said, "Because you probably aborted her."
The woman who asked the question that day was then-first lady Hillary Clinton.  The woman who answered the question was Mother Teresa.
This story was told by Shawn Carney one of the co-founders of the 40 days for life campaign.  40 days for life has grown from the involvement of 60 churches is Texas in 2004 at the first 40 days for life to having the campaign in 305 cities in all 50 states, with 2,801 women have confirmed they chose life at the last moment as a result of the campaign.  There have been 5 abortion facilities close forever and there have been 350,000 people who have participated in this campaign.  32 abortion clinic workers who have spoke with campaign members and have left their jobs.  According to Carney, there are 3,000 pregnancy centers across the country and 1,500 abortion  facilities.  In the past 15 years 1/2 of all the abortion facilities in America have closed.  Still, 25% of all women between the ages of 18-25 will have an abortion. It is clear how effective this campaign has been and will continue to be in the future.  Keep joining activities for the 40 days for life and keep praying for those babies and their distressed mothers!  God bless
