July 1999 I spoke to a mother as she was approaching the front of the clinic. When I told her about the lawsuits against the abortionist and the injuries inflicted upon women that we knew of, she began to question her decision to have an abortion. After sitting with her on the curb and talking at length, she made the decision to let her baby live. We continued to stay in contact with her throughout her pregnancy and helped her with groceries on several occasions. A baby girl named Amber was born in early Febuary 2000. Mary Penner, Charity Green and I were present.

Dec. 19, 1998 Mary Penner and I were standing at the entrance to RMCW when a car stoped beside us in the driveway. The driver, Monica, was stricken by the photo of the babys head in forceps that Mary held. She asked if it was real. We spoke to her for a few minutes and she told us that she had to do this because her husband had left her and she had no help. We assured her that we and numerous other organizations would meet her needs and the needs of her baby. She said she wouldn't go through with it and turned around. As she pulled out she pulled over and spoke at length to Mary Juarez. She wept and said she would definitely be in touch with us.

At the mill today was Greene, all of the Green family, Mary J., Mary P., Earl, Larry Shumaker and a woman from his fellowship.
July 10, 1998 I spoke with a woman and her male friend as they approached the clinic. She heard what I said and appeared to be listening but didn't stop to talk until I mentioned the past lawsuits against Fitzhugh. Upon learning about the dangers of a abortion at RMCW she decided to leave and requested copies of the court papers concerning Fitzhugh. They were sent to her. Another girl spoke to Mary Penner as she was entering the clinic. She said that she was there for her three week check-up following an abortion. She said that she has had nightmares ever since the killing. Mary talked with her a provided information about WEBA.
April 4, 1998 A woman approached the clinic and was spoken to by Mary Juarez and Mary Penner. She was struggling over the decision of whether to abort her baby and after speaking with Mary P. and Mary J., she chose to let her baby live. It was a rainy and cold morning. Those present were Mary P., Mary J, Jay, Earl, Sandra and some Catholics praying the rosary.
March 7, 1998 Today Mary Juarez spoke to a man at the abortion clinic who said his 18 yr. old daughter was here for an abortion. He said it was the best decision for both of them. A short time later the daughter came out. She had been with the abortion counselor and had begun to cry. She said that she didn't want to have the abortion and came outside. When she and Mary saw each outher, they realized that they knew each other from West End Assembly of God. Her name is Courtney and she left the clinic after speaking and crying at length with Mary.
May 21, 1997 I Spoke with a woman who was scheduled to have her child killed and told her about the law suits against Fitzhugh. She was very concerned about this news and ultimately canceled her appt.
Early May, 1997 A couple sitting in their car was approached and given literature about abortion and the alternatives availaable in this area. After reading through the information, they drove away not to return.
Early May, 1997 A mother and her daughter drove into the parking lot and as they walked toward the door of the killing center, an appeal was made by a Pro-lifer for the baby's life.

October 9, 1996 Three or four babies saved today at RMCW. John and I were at the mill with the large graphic abortion sign. Officer Prince came out and said " I don't know what y'all are doing but two women have already changed their minds and left. He said there was another girl inside that was probably going to leave shortly. One of those women was led in by her father and mother and was initially hostle toward me. We saw them leave. As we were standing near the corner of Boulevard and Grove I saw two women approaching the opposite corner by the Museum. They were coming toward the mill when they saw the graphic picture and the woman with the appointment turned around and faced in the other direction as they talked and tried to avoid eye contact with us and the sign. I called out to her and they walked away without returning.
As John stood on the corner with the large sign, a woman parked and walked by him with two pretty little twin girls. She looked at his sign and said (speaking of the children) this is the choice I made at this place 16 months ago. When she came back by, she told me that I was probably the one who had spoken to her when she came for an abortion some time ago. The little girls wre the babies that were saved from death on that day. HalleluYah! Her name was Brenda.

Mary Juarez and Earlene Kinlaw then began speaking to them as they went toward the rear entrance. They then turned around and came back out. Mary and Earlene were able to speak at great length with them after that and gathered that the pregnancy was the result of an adulterous affair with this woman. The man had wanted to get rid of the evidence. The woman did change her mind and the baby was saved. The womans name was Nida and the mans name was Odell.

The woman was crying and in the end she said that she could not go through with the abortion. She said that she was going to use the money saved for the abortion to buy baby items for her child. She was very thankful and left with the knowledge that we would be there for her if she needed help. Her name is Maurina and her brother was Carlos.
After that save, a Cherokee pulled to the side of the road and motioned for Mary Jaurez to come over. Mary and Linda Murray were told the following story. She said that it was because of them that she had this baby today. The woman thanked them for being at the clinic and said that she had come to the clinic about 2 years previously to get an abortion. She had been given some information by a sidewalk counselor and had changed her mind while inside the mill. When she left, the counselor had also left.

April 12, 1996 A couple drove into the parking lot of ACWHC and as they walked to the door, I offered the young asian women a paper. She began to walk toward me but then noticed one of the signs and then turned and ran into the building. A few minutes later the male friend came out an walked across the road to the gas station. As he passed me I gave him a copy of the paper and spoke briefly to him on behalf of his child. He said "We really don't want to do it" but he didn't seem to open to talk. After he came back to the mill parking lot, the young lady came out and they stood around talking for several minutes. They then got into the car and I could see him looing through the paper. As they drove out he was still reading the paper "She's a Child, Not a Choice".

They were told where the CPC was located and they drove off in that direction.

I called out to them until they entered the mill. After Greene left, Earlene arrived. The couple came outside and for several minutes stood in the lot talking to each other. When Earlene called out to them, they said that they had made their choice. They then got into their car and left.

She said that what really stuck in her mind was that the baby has a beating heart. The clinic workers denied that it was true but she didn't believe them and had it checked out by her own Dr.. The Dr. confirmed that the sidewalk counselor was telling the truth. She's now off of welfare & works at Nabisco making almost $20 an hour. Earlene said that she was now "walking strong with the Lord" and was considering going to prayer at House of Prayer. Desiree' was all of the way in the procedure room when she changed her mind.
January 25, 1996 While woking at UKrops, Kurt Curtis was approached by a young woman who asked Kurt if he remembered her. He said "No, should I". She told him that several years ago she was going into the mill to have her baby aborted and that Kurt had spoken to her on behalf of the baby. She went inside but in the end she couldn't go through with it. When she came out Kurt had already left. She thought that she would never see him again. She then shows him the small child with her and says that this is the baby he saved. She has since been married to her boyfriend.
January 22, 1996 Kurt Curtis was told the following story while on the bus to the March for Life. A man said that during a "Rescue" several years ago at the RMCW a woman tried to enter the mill but was unsucessful. She was very upset with those blocking her way and when this gentleman addressed her she asked sacastically if he would take care of the baby. The man said that he would be glad to adopt the child . That assurance was enough to turn her away and when the baby was born the pro-lifer adopted the baby girl.
January 4, 1996 Earlene Kinlaw spoke to the first woman she saw when she arrived. The woman was a 27 yr. old named Tykasa. She was going in after already having 2 abortions. One at 22 and one just 6 months ago at this same mill. She said that she really didn't want another because the abortions had messed up her body.
September 28, 1995 Today a woman entering the mill told Greene that she was there to save a baby. She said her daughter was there to have an abortion and she was there to try to stop her. Soon the Grandmother arrived also. After being inside for a little while, thet came out and said that the girl was no going to have the abortion.
September 23, 1995 Two babies saved today.
First - At around 8:45 AM a black woman with a white woman and young man came down the sidewalk toward the mill. I gave the black woman some literature and said a few words. The white girl began to tell us that the other woman was pregnant by her brother and that her husband was unaware of it. Julie asked for them to say the Lord's Prayer, which they did. The white girl was very pro-life and didn't want the baby killed. After being inside for about fifteen minutes, they came out and left.
Second - A young asian couple walked past us and Mark Goodell gave the man a "Did You Know" leaflet. I spoke to them until they entered the building. A little while later, they came back out and as they passed us, the man said, "Thanks for changing my mind" and "we're going to let the baby live". They gladly took other literature and left. Pro-lifers present were Julie, Mark Goodell, Jay Cruse, Ellie Patrick and myself.
May 11, 1995 I briefly spoke to a couple as they went into the mill but didn't get much across (so it seemed). The man came back out and I began to speak with him. As we spoke, he began to come around and began to become uneasy with his involvement with the abortion. He then asked for information with pictures and went back into the mill to try to talk his wife/girlfriend out of the abortion. As I was beginning to leave he came back out and made a gesture signifying that he had been unsuccessful. On the following Tuesday, I saw him coming toward the mill again with a receipt (to get a refund) in his hand. I asked him why he was back and he told me that after I had left, the girl changed her mind and came out. He was glad and thanked me.
April 11, 19995 As many as three babies saved today. Faye spoke to people in a car who had stopped to ask "if this was the Women's Center". She spoke for a while and gave a baby model to one of the girls who asked for it. The girl who was pregnant didn't want to look at it but took information. They went into the mill and later came out and when they drove past Faye, she asked if they were going to let the baby live. They said yes.
Another possible save happened when a woman with a young couple were spoken to by Faye. The older woman was irate and vocally violent, threatening to push Faye into the traffic. Faye continued speaking to them across the parking lot. They went in after standing around for quit
