?Bitter cold temperatures and winds could not deter those brave people who came every hour on the hour to stand for protecting the most innocent among us,? said Eileen from Spring Valley.

This vigil is across from a Planned Parenthood abortion center.

Fortunately, there are life-affirming services that volunteers can rely on to assist women who need help. A pregnancy care center is located nearby ? and there?s also a 24-hour hotline available for women looking for options that Planned Parenthood is unwilling to provide. Eileen said these resources ?can make all the difference between life and death.?

She said the vigil participants ?are called to witness with love? ? fasting and praying that a predatory business will soon leave their community ? and bringing about ?the conversion to life of all those involved in this dark culture of death.?
