On effective outreach to the women while out at the clinics:
Just being to provide support...that's huge. We have a lot of turnarounds and a lot of successes in the sidewalk counseling that I'm a part of just because we're there.

On reaching out to clinic workers:

It think it's just trying to build a relationship with them. Not trying to be controversial or challenging.

Anytime they may want to leave and find another job that you have a plan and you're ready.

A lot of people who work in the abortion industry feel trapped in their work.

Struggles abortion victims will go through:
If we're able to say "take all of your mistakes and all of your failures and lay them at the feet of Christ". If you can say "use them to glorify your kingdom in some way", He'll be able to do that.

On her church while at PlannedParenthood:
I am critical of that church because there is no outreach for ministry.

Adventures out at the abortion clinic

A friend named Dana stopped a young couple walking out of the abortion clinic. He was carrying a sonogram picture of the woman's baby. Dana said, "Ooohh, let me see a picture of your baby." That started a heart to heart talk that lasted a few minutes.

After a while, it looked like Dana might need some fortification. I moved in, asked them if I could hold their hands and pray and they looked open to that. I grabbed their hands and lifted up their situation to Jesus.

Then she said, was carrying "He is standing with me in this, and he ain't the one who got me pregnant." I looked up at him, grabbed his arm (pastorally, of course!) and said, "YOU are a MAN. This is what MEN do!"

Unwed births in Mississippi are around 54% of all births right now. Above 80% amongst African-Americans. Men are having sex and running away from responsibility. Here was a guy running into responsibility.

May "his tribe increase.
