Yes, I took the time to come there again. This time I brought some friends (my idea - their car :) so there were five of us from Moncton, joining the 40 Days For Life vigil in a silent prayer. The "special intention" flyers, distributed among participants, suggested that we pray for Arlene, who is a nurse manager at the so called "pregnancy termination unit", for a conversion of her heart, for healing of whatever has brought her to this line of work and for her heart and mind to be convicted that abortion takes away the lives of innocent babies. We added Arlene to our prayers.
Many pro-life vigils are being held at the abortion "clinics". So it's possible for the people there to see the women who turn away, to witness that babies' lives have been saved... Here it was a general hospital. We saw the cars driving in, we knew that some of the women must have been there to have an abortion (VG Hospital in Halifax performs 1700 of them annually) but obviously we couldn't see if there was at least one who changed her mind. We had to walk by faith, not by sight.
Still... There were car drivers honking. A guy in a typical "biker's" outfit took his time to stop and shake our hands. And there was a "you rule" graffiti spray-painted on a sidewalk, with an arrow pointing to our "Pray to End Abortion" sign. Someone was glad that we were there. Was it a happy father whose wife (or fiancée) had a last-moment change of heart, sparing their unborn baby from abortion?...
