"If you hadn't been here, I would have aborted. Now I can't imagine I ever considered it. I thought I had no choice but to abort..." This is the journal of one person's first year as a sidewalk counselor at the busiest abortion facility in Charlotte, North Carolina. As part of the pro-life ministry, Cities4Life, Vicky Kaseorg stands with a small group of men and women dedicated to speaking for the unborn, unable to speak in their own defense, and then helping the moms who choose life navigate the struggles that ensue from that decision. This unique perspective gives insights into a side of abortion most people never encounter. It is a must-read book for those who believe abortion should be every woman's right, as well as those who believe it should be outlawed. One might think that a year of stories from the sidewalks of an abortion center, described by many as the "gates of Hell," would be depressing. There are, of course, many depressing situations. But this book is a book of hope, of optimism, of victory, and of the power of God to use weak but willing people to His good purpose.
