Most people don't know that 21 days after a child is conceived, they have a heartbeat. This is one of the bits of information others and I share with people that come to the abortion clinic in town.
I can't say that every time I have mentioned it to them that they realized that the child in the womb is indeed living and decide to keep the baby. Sadly, more people continue inside and go forth with the abortion.
Today was no different. I arrived at the clinic to find around 7 cars already in the parking lot. There were two escorts standing nearby. My entire time there, I spoke with the ladies and men that were coming and going. Some were loud with me; others just tried to pretend I did not exist.
The two escorts have become listening ears to me though. When people aren't coming for an abortion, I stand there and read form God's word and preach the law & the gospel to them. Some respond with anger, while others just play deaf. I've learned not to depend simply on what I say, but be faithful to the word and trust that it is God's word and will not return void. Isaiah 55:11
I have been to many places and seen lots of wicked things. This by far is the worst place of them all. The sheer realization that there is actually a place where people can go and murder their young is appalling and strictly unimaginable. Second to that is knowing that it tales place and doing nothing to stop it...
In Montgomery, abortions are held on Wednesday & Friday mornings at Reproductive Health Services at 811 S. Perry St. People normally arrive between 7am thru 9am. Please consider coming out and just standing and praying if anything. Below are a few local ministries in town that are working to give women information on abortions and help stop it. As well as a few links for those considering abortion or facing an unplanned pregnancy.

This is a post I wrote about a year or so ago with the same title ... "21 Days and a heartbeat"
I never enjoy sharing stories like these. However, I hope that as you read it, you might be moved to stand for life in your own city.
