History Of Prolife

The Beginning

The Prolife team consists of about 15 working people who gather together regularly for the cause of Prolife. One among them is a nurse. Towards the end of 2007, she got a job in a small hospital in the centre of Bangalore City. It was only weeks later, to her shock, that she discovered that there are frequent abortions happening at this placec, as many as 300 a month. She refused to work there any more and resigned her job. She shared this when she came in for the prolife team meeting. Everyone in the team were deeply concerned. We knew this was a frequent happening, but hearing this first hand account had an impact on all of us. We were not sure of what to do. In prayer it was decided that we would visit the hospital. None of us at that time had the slightest inkling of what it is going to turn out to be.

February 17, 2008, Saturday, the Prolife team gathered together in a chapel in a seminary nearby infront of the Blessed Sacrament. We prayed for an hour. Then two teams of two people each got ready to go to the Hospital. The rest of the people remained in front of Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament. The team went and met a couple of patients, some other staff nurses and finally the doctor.

The Doctor's conversion

Introducing ourselves as prolifers, we spoke to the doctor in a general way about abortion. The results were miraculous. The doctor stopped abortion on that day. The next week we had a followup outreach to the same place and the staff said that no abortion happened there in the last week. The doctor now counsels anyone coming to her for abortion and if they are not willing to relent, she would refer them else where. We can confidently say that she is a prolifer doctor today and a big support for us. We have three children whose life we have been able to influence.
