After seeing pro-life advocates outside a Planned Parenthood clinic in Aurora, Illinois, a couple decided against abortion. A video taken by the a member of the Pro-Life Action League shows a conversation between one of those advocates and the saved child's father, who came back to thank the people working to save children from abortion.

“A week ago, we were thinking about coming here and, you know, getting an abortion and everything but… then we saw how many people out here… actually kinda care—and we were right across the street over there—and… me and my wife were just looking and we were just saying, like, ‘Man, a lot of people do care about this,'” the father told the Pro-Life Action League.

After thanking the group for being there to change his and his wife's minds, the man asked the pro-life advocates to pray for him to find a better job that would be able to help him provide for his growing family (which already has two other children).

“God put you guys in front of us because He told us — we were parked right there and we were just staring over here and we were just thinking about it, thinking about, thinking about it and we were just looking at the baby’s pictures [images of abortion victims] like, we can’t do that. But I thank all you guys for being out here,” he said. “I thank you guys so much, man, because honestly, you guys changed our mind. I feel like if you guys weren’t here that day we probably would have stepped in there.”
