Milwaukee, Wisconsin
"I can't say that this is the first time that we've had a save on
opening day," said Dan in Milwaukee, "but I can't recall when we ever
did."
And that's because the abortion center in Milwaukee does not serve
clients on Wednesdays – and 40 Days for Life always starts on a
Wednesday.
If potential clients show up, the staff will simply schedule an appointment … and send them on their way.
Dan says a woman went to the pregnancy resource center across the street
from the abortion facility – and stayed there quite a while. She then
walked to the abortion business to compare services.
"Of course," he said, "there is no comparison. One supports life; the other takes it."
Before she went into the abortion facility, she kept referring to her
baby as "it." After she came out, she spoke in humanizing terms -- "my
baby" -- and future tense: "this will be my eighth child."
This especially touched one volunteer, who is the eighth child in her family.
"She had never interacted with anyone before during a campaign," Dan
said, "but she definitely had a LOT to say about the joys of being the
eighth child -- the baby in the family! It was so touching. I wish I
were better at describing the joy that we experienced!"
