Wrong Number, Right Result

[guest commentary by Paladin]

This was too good not to share. From the inestimable LifeSiteNews.com:

A young woman in Indianapolis, Indiana - we'll call her Erin - woke up, saw her kids off to school, dropped her preschoolers at a friend's house, and noticed that she was late for an appointment ... at Planned Parenthood ... for an abortion.

So Erin picked up her phone and called to see if she could still come in. She thought she was calling Planned Parenthood. In her haste, she dialled a wrong number.

Instead of Planned Parenthood, she got Joseph, who was answering the cell phone that's being used by ...

... get ready for this ...

... 40 Days for Life in Indianapolis!

In addition to the baby being saved, I specifically noted the following:

So what had led Erin to the abortion center? Simply put - desperation. She has four children, their father is in jail, she had lost her job, her electricity is about to be shut off, and she doesn't have enough money to pay the rent.

Sounds bad, yes? Sounds like a situation which abortion-tolerant people use when they crow, "Aha! So where are the so-called 'pro-life' people when the mother needs help? With closed pockets, crossed arms, and a 'you deserve it!' on their lips!" So... what happened next?

In the meantime, Elizabeth [the 40-Days-For-Life counselor who called Erin back] had spread the word about Erin's situation. A volunteer offered to pay her electric bill. Ten others pooled their cash to pay her rent.

Huh. Must've been fake pro-lifers; we all know that no pro-lifer would give so much as a pat on the back, to say nothing of financial support, to help pregnant women in need...

Eileen in Indianapolis says a local group is now working with Erin to help her find a job.

Yep. Definitely Planned Parenthood plants. Only PP employees would be so merciful and kind.

"She has a lot of potential," Eileen said, "but needs support since her mother and sister are still encouraging her to abort the baby."

Ah, the freedom of "choice"! Nothing quite like it, this side of... well... a rather hot place in the afterlife.

Erin has reacted with both joy and disbelief that strangers were helping her. She has called Planned Parenthood to cancel her appointment and request a refund.

'Nuff said. Now, if only that reaction would go viral...

Major kudos to 40 Days for Life, and especially to Almighty God!
