Ground Zero Report - Day 2 [09.25]

Just thought I would share an experience for Day 2 in the 6-8 pm time slot. We encountered persecution from a tormented woman who not once, twice but three times came back to give us a tongue lashing for our stance on pro-life. However, shortly after, along came a Mother and daughter who stopped to ask us what we were all about. After telling them about the 40 Days for Life campaign, they told us that they were visiting from Calgary looking for Universities for her daughter who wants to major in political science. Her daughter went on to say that she was pro-life and a speaker for "Silent Day of Solidarity. Her Mother, then asked us if we would like to her her daughters 7 minute speech she made at her high school on this topic. Of course, we encouraged her to go right ahead. It was wonderful to hear this young woman of 17 years speak as well as she did about the sanctity of life. It was as though the Lord sent in a special messenger to lift our spirits and to let us know that we are not alone to fight this battle. After her short speech, her Mom whispered in my ear that her daughter wanted to enter politics. This grade 11 student's name is AA from +++ High School in Calgary, and her Mom's name is MA.... I told her that Ottawa could certainly use a future politician who was pro-life. In fact, my gut feeling tells me that AA will be a name that we will be hearing again in Canada's political future. I felt truly blessed tonight to have met these wonderful pro-life people, who joined our campaign and signed the register as participants of the 40 Days for Life in Ottawa. - Sue

There was a man eating his McDonald meal quietly on the bench outside of 65 Bank door. After he finished, he came over and said he likes what we are doing. I invited him to join us anytime but he said he is busy.

A young man who looks like he is in his mid-teens came and asked questions. Sue told him that the DNA at conception stays the same throughout that person's life. He did not know that. He stayed awhile to talk. - Nora
