Praying on Pennacook Street– Baby Saved
It was the Wednesday before Mother's Day – perhaps that was why one woman changed her mind about aborting her baby.
It was a slow start to the day as several vehicles arrived at Planned Parenthood before noon. None of the people going inside were willing to speak with the sidewalk counselors. They were happily surprised when the driver of a pickup truck stopped before leaving PP: the woman in the passenger seat said, “I didn't go through with it.”
Update on two women the counselors met outside PP last year: both are having girls due in June. The Pennacook Pregnancy Center is supplying the moms with all the baby gear they need for their little girls.
For more information about the life-affirming Pennacook Pregnancy Center, visit www.pennacookpregnancy.org and facebook.com/nhpregnancyhelp
