The Baptist Press reported a story where some pro-life activists using a mobile ultrasound unit helped a woman in the 3rd trimester of her pregnancy acquire medical care.
“One young woman came by our mobile center who was 33 weeks along in her pregnancy and had not had any prenatal care,” Hendry recounted. “She wasn’t able to qualify for Medicaid and didn’t have health insurance.
“We provided her with her first ultrasound where she could see her fully developed baby, which will be born in the next several weeks,” Hendry said, adding, “It’s always an amazing moment when you are able to show mothers the new life that is living and growing inside their womb.”
The Florida Baptist team connected the woman with a nurse midwife to help with her needs through the remainder of her pregnancy and afterward.”

Even though abortion was not a concern for this woman, the pro-lifers were still there to help her and her baby. The picture many people have of pro-lifers who go to abortion clinics is that of self-righteous men and women harassing abortion patients, but many of the sidewalk counselors and ministries offer real help to women.
