Cecilia in Lansing just got a very encouraging note from the director of a local pregnancy help center.

The director got a phone call from a woman asking for abortion information for her teenage daughter. She was going to take the girl to Planned Parenthood ... but she didn't want to go in with all the "protesters" there!

(That would be the 40 Days for Life vigil participants.)

So the mom brought her daughter to the pregnancy center for a free ultrasound.

The director says this family still needs lots of prayer ... but it was clear that hard work and prayer do have an impact ... and lives do get saved.
