?We experienced the reason we pray outside Planned Parenthood,? said Tim Mason of Coalition for Life Iowa, ?and the reason we tirelessly support the cause of life.?

A woman approached the prayer vigil outside the abortion center in Cedar Rapids and thanked the volunteers for what they do. She said that her daughter came to Planned Parenthood two years ago because of an unplanned pregnancy.

She choked up and said that because of their presence and witness outside Planned Parenthood, she had a baby granddaughter today.

?This is why we do what we do,? Tim said. ?This woman's story is worth 100,000 angry shouts and middle fingers. May God bless all of you and our cause!?
