MOBILE ULTRASOUND SERVICE encourages women not to kill their unborn children to do what’s best for themselves.

When an abortion-minded woman enters the van she is presented with the three possible choices before her: parenting, adoption, or abortion. Counselors go through each option, telling the woman how each decision could impact her.

“All of the counseling on the bus is really about the impact to ‘her’, how it’s going to be so much more beneficial to ‘her’ if she chooses one of the first two options,” said Baker.

Save the Storks has found that such a woman-centered approach is more effective in saving lives than a baby-centered approach.

Baker said that the abortion-minded woman intercepted by a Stork van tend to be “self-centered.” “It’s not at all un-normal for a girl to say something like: ‘Oh, I could never adopt out my baby’, and we’re sitting there at the abortion clinic!”

“If your mission isn’t to just love her and convince her that [parenting or adoption] is the best decision for her, you really could lose her,” he said.

I won’t argue against what works, but isn’t it shameful that such a tactic is necessary in the first place?
