Outside a Planned Parenthood in Nashville, Tennessee, the abortion facility had installed a large blue tarp to cover the fencing around their entire property, attempting to block the sight of those gathered to pray, as well as blocking any attempts to try to reach women entering the facility who might be considering abortion. However, the prayer vigil&#8217;s leader, Kathleen, explained that those praying have still been able to communicate over the fence as well as at the parking lot entrance. Kathleen remarked that she sees the facility&#8217;s tarp as &#8220;a compliment to us and how effective our prayers must be!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>&#8220;I didn&#8217;t go through with it!&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>On <a href=\"https:\/\/www.40daysforlife.com\/day-13-she-ran-out-of-planned-parenthood\">day 13<\/a>\u00a0in Manhattan, New York, a vigil participant chose to distribute pamphlets to women entering, encouraging them to run away from the abortion center. One of the women who received a pamphlet did exactly that almost an hour later. &#8220;I didn\u2019t go through with it. I\u2019m 17 weeks pregnant and they told me it\u2019s nothing!&#8221; the woman exclaimed to the vigil participant outside. &#8220;They put pressure on me in Planned Parenthood!
