Often pro-life advocates who have never done sidewalk counseling before are hesitant to get started because they feel like they don’t know what to say or do. The most common excuse I hear from people who have considered sidewalk counseling but have not tried it is that they are afraid they will say the wrong thing. In my eight years as a sidewalk counselor, I have been blessed to help nearly 60 families leave the abortion clinic to choose life for their child. There are many things I have learned through experience that I wish I knew on my first...

Former Abortion Workers share about Sidewalk Advocacy Don't be weird! Crazy people are easy to ignore. ***VIDEO IS 3 MINUTES LONG***

Abby Johnson is doing a video of a tip for pro-lifers every Tuesday. Here is a sidewalk counseling tip from 9/14/2016: “This week I’m going to talk about difficult people on the sidewalk. A lot of times people go out to the sidewalk and they’re with 40 Days for Life or they’re with Sidewalk Advocates for Life, or another really great group, and they have other groups that come out and do weird things on the sidewalk. [For example] they have baby doll parts that are painted with red blood, and they dangle them over the fence. Or they have...

“Beam me up Scotty.” These are an abortionist’s words directing a nurse to turn on the suction machine, words Abby Johnson heard when she was unexpectedly summoned to the procedure room of the Bryan, Texas Planned Parenthood clinic, of which she was the manager, to assist in an ultra-sound guided abortion. She was stunned to observe that the 13 week-old fetus pulled away from the invading suction cannula. Johnson recounts the abortion in her 2010 book Unplanned: “The cannula was already being rotated by the doctor, and now I could see the tiny body violently twisting with it. For the...

Baby Saved When Mom Hears Baby Has Heartbeat "My baby has a heartbeat?" a mother asked Created Equal's Road Trip for Life team outside Planned Parenthood in St. Louis, MO. Moments before, she'd arrived at the facility for an abortion. But just before going in, she walked over to speak with Created Equal at the property's border. The brief conversation which followed changed her life and that of her baby forever. Watch to see her wrestle through what to do.

Thoughts of a Sidewalk Counselor By Cassidy Bugos Note: Cassidy Bugos is a student-counselor with Christendom College's Shield of Roses (see: http://www.lifesite.net/ldn/2007/aug/07080807.html) This article first appeared in Christendom's student journal, The Rambler, (http://www.therambleronline.com/) and describes Cassidy's experience as a student sidewalk counselor outside of the Planned Parenthood abortion mill in Washington D.C. I only began sidewalk counseling last fall, and I've not been able to keep it up steadily. God willing, I'll do better this semester. It's funny that I've found it so hard to keep up, as I've wanted to be a sidewalk counselor ever since I was quite little. When I was going...

Virginia Students Prepare for 28th Year of Student-Initiated Sidewalk Counseling/Prayer By John JalsevacFRONT ROYAL, Virginia, August 8, 2007 (LifeSiteNews.com) - College students are not exactly renowned for their ability to wake up at the crack of dawn, especially on Saturday mornings, when they typically catch up on a week's lost sleep and recover from a hard night of partying the night before.Yet, at one small college in Virginia, for almost three decades now, students have woken up as early as 6:30am every single Saturday morning when school is in session, to attend 7:00 Mass and then travel the hour and...

"There's nothing like seeing something. It makes it real," say the folks...

Babies are often saved from death when Christians speak out on their behalf at their local abortion mill. A baby was saved today in Richmond as a couple drove into RMCW. They were shown the front cover of our flyer with a picture of a preborn girl and the caption, "She's a Child, not a Choice." They looked at it for a while and then parked the car. After talking for some time to one another they left the premises without entering the clinic. You can find lots of helpful informatiom on sidewalk counseling at http://www.lifeandlibertyministries.com/archives/cat_sidewalk_counseling.php When Christians show up,...

One Baby Was Saved At The Abortion Clinic Today And Another Save Is Connected To LLM'S Richmond Literature Drop Project This morning eleven Christians "showed up" on the street at Richmond Medical Center for Women. I stated in my last update on Saturday, July 30, "when Christians show up, babies are saved". Today another baby escaped death and another mother escaped the guilt of killing her child. Here's what happened. "A couple drove in and the man let a woman out to go into the killing center. He then parked his car. As he approached the door, Mary Penner called...

Wolves and Children March 05, 2005 The fact of the matter is that some forms of "ministry work" are more appealing to the flesh than others. I rejoice that the Heavenly Father has put me where I am, but I don't find street outreach at abortion clinics to be very enjoyable. As a matter of fact I am finding that abortion clinic outreach is very unpleasant. Although there are many examples I could give, let me just share two experiences I have had in the last week to illustrate what I mean. Last week I encountered three individuals as they...
