Little card touches many lives

Posted on May 1, 2012 by Tim Palmquist

A business card given to a pregnant woman outside Bakersfield’s abortion center is resulting in a positive change in many people’s lives, including the pregnant woman, her children, and a childless couple. “Lori” was one of the first women to receive the new cards promoting LifeSavers Ministries’ new AbortionPillBaby.com ministry. Terri handed Lori one of the cards outside the abortion center during the recent 40 Days for Life campaign.

Lori had made plans to abort her baby several times, but circumstances kept preventing the abortion. “I could tell that God was intervening, trying to stop me from going through with the abortion,” Lori later confessed.

Although the baby in Lori’s womb was more than twice as far along as the baby referenced on the AbortionPillBaby.com card, Lori kept the card after leaving the abortion center. A few weeks later, she called Terri asking for help.

Baby saved by four simple questions

Posted on March 22, 2012 by Tim Palmquist
Terri and Amy minister outside FPA as police car arrives.

Terri and Amy speak to a woman outside the abortion center (right) as police car (left) arrives in response to the abortion center's complaint about 40 Days for Life signs being posted around the abortion center. After researching the situation, the officer concluded that the 40 Days for Life signs are legal.

“Velma” came to Bakersfield’s FPA abortion center yesterday planning to take a pill to abort her baby. But before she entered, she encountered Amy and Terri Palmquist on the sidewalk.

Terri gave her a Gospel of John booklet, along with one of the new abortionpillbaby.com cards we just had printed which explains how babies have been saved from abortion pills. Velma seemed surprised as she read the card explaining the development of a six week baby, telling Terri that she had previously aborted a baby with the pill and now regrets it. She has three living children but said that she does not know how she could provide for a fourth child.

Terri then asked Velma “do you believe that God made the whole world, including you and your children?”

Terri places crosses in front of abortion chamber on first abortion day of 40 Days for Life On the first Monday abortion day of the Spring 2012 Bakersfield 40 Days for Life campaign, Terri Palmquist placed crosses outside the abortion center as she saw women exiting after their babies were aborted.

As a young woman and her boyfriend who had been inside the abortion center all day exited through the post-abortion door, Terri said “I’m putting up a cross in memory of your baby, and I’m naming your baby Felicia.” The boyfriend replied, “his name is ‘Billy’ and we didn’t go through with it!”

Inspiring videos from Closing Celebration

Posted on November 21, 2011 by Tim Palmquist

When a 10% chance of rain suddenly became a downpour, many people who had intended to attend the 40 Days for Life Closing Celebration apparently changed their plans. But those who persevered by attending the stormy event maintained a positive outlook regardless of the weather, especially when they had the opportunity to hear the beautiful testimony of a young woman whose baby was saved from abortion.

Musician Javier De Santiago traveled from Los Angeles to sing at the event. He presented his song Donde Estas Papa y Mama (which has saved many lives in conjunction with Eduardo Verastegui’s life-saving abortion video) in both English and Spanish to the appreciative crowd.

A new 40 Days for Life Bakersfield video entitled “Blessings” was also presented at the event, featuring videos of prayer vigil participants during the Fall 2011 40 Days for Life campaign.

The evening concluded with musician Lamar Hagan (who has been a part of all eight Bakersfield 40 Days for Life campaigns) leading the candlelight prayer vigil in prayer and song as participants marched around the abortion center seven times, reminiscent of the Israelites’ march around Jericho.
