In Mexico City?s Roma section, the Marie Stopes staff has set up a booth?? complete with valet parking ? in an attempt to put a barrier between the vigil and the abortion center. It really isn?t working out so well.

Lourdes, the local leader, said volunteers talked to a girl who had an appointment for an abortion. But when she saw the people praying, she felt her heart beating rapidly. And she knew why.

Other volunteers were chatting with the parking attendant ? who took some of their information. Later, he came back and shared his faith with them. A Marie Stopes employee heard all of this ? and went rushing inside. Almost immediately, two men came out and started yelling at the parking guy.

?They fired me!? he said. As he was leaving, he said, ?I will come back to pray with you guys.
