?When they say ultrasound saves lives,? said Monica in Bloomington, ?they aren?t joking!?

The 40 Days for Life team reports countless blessings at the newly-opened Women?s Care Center ? a pro-life outreach that is right next door to Planned Parenthood.

Monica met a woman and her mother, who were just beaming.

?The young mother stopped and told me that she just found out that she was pregnant and even had an ultrasound,? she said. The ultrasound image showed a 10-week old baby, sucking a thumb.

?The clarity of the image was incredible,? Monica said, ?and I know it had greatly affected these women. It was such a grace to share in their joy for this new life!?

In addition, two mothers have turned away from abortions at Planned Parenthood. ?Praise God! The prayers are already having an effect.?
