One of the counselors in front of Planned Parenthood was able to strike up a conversation with a young woman who accepted information about community resources.

The volunteer offered to take her to the pregnancy help center, but she said her mother could give her a ride. But first, she was going into Planned Parenthood.

As she turned to go in, the counselor suggested that she hide the list of resources she was given. Other women had reported that the center?s staff had yanked the paper from their hands, while telling them they didn?t need it.

The young woman?s mom tried her best to ignore the vigil participants. After quite some time, she went inside to get her daughter. When they came out, the daughter told the volunteers they were headed to the pregnancy help center ? and that she was keeping her baby.
