And this lady wanted to talk to me. And usually, it&#8217;s pretty negative,\u201d said Sullivan, who, for the past two years, has stood outside the hospital entrance with his pro-life signs every day for over an hour, quietly praying.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd she said, \u2018Well, I saw your sign and I&#8217;m keeping my baby.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>READ:<\/strong>\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/pro-life-activist-saves-woman-texas-abortion\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>Pro-life activist saves woman\u2019s life by stopping active shooter at abortion business<\/em><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The woman, according to Sullivan, said that she was scheduled to have an abortion, but when she saw the man with his pro-life message standing just outside of the hospital, she interpreted it as a sign that she needed to make a different choice.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe says, \u2018You know, I was going in for an abortion, but,\u2019 she said, \u2018this is a sign to me that I\u2019ve got to keep my baby,\u2019\u201d Sullivan related about his conversation with the woman.<\/p>\n<p>Sullivan said that he was not on hospital property when the encounter took place last month but standing on a public sidewalk at the corner of the turnoff into the hospital, well within 50 metres of hospital property.<\/p>\n<p>Sullivan believes his location of pro-life witnessing was decisive in saving the life of this woman\u2019s preborn child.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier this month, the government of Scott Moe put forward a bill that would impose speech-muzzling bubble zones across the province. While Bill 48,\u00a0<em>The Public Health (Safe Access to Hospitals) Amendment Act, 2021<\/em>, aims at keeping vaccine mandate protestors 50 metres away from hospital property, the proposed legislation would also criminalize peaceful pro-life witnessing.<\/p>\n<p>The bill is viewed as a major problem for the pro-life movement because it would make it impossible for pro-life advocates to help abortion-minded women change their minds. The bill would effectively ban people like Sullivan from witnessing to life near the hospital entrance.<\/p>\n<p>Sullivan said that had the bill already been in effect last month, it\u2019s likely that the young woman would not have encountered his pro-life message and would have gone through with the planned abortion.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is not good and something has to be done about it,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Pro-life advocates have many stories like Sullivan\u2019s of women who change their minds and decide to choose life for their babies all because of peaceful pro-life demonstrators and sidewalk counsellors who stand vigil outside of hospitals and other locations that commit abortions.<\/p>\n<p>Campaign Life Coalition maintains that censorious \u201cbubble zone\u201d laws that strip Canadian citizens of their rights and freedoms have no place in a free and democratic society. Furthermore, legislation that actively thwarts pro-life attempts to save lives is not good for pregnant women in crisis who are on the lookout for a \u201csign\u201d that they should choose life for their babies. And, such legislation is not good for preborn babies targeted for abortion, who need a witness to the value of their lives and an advocate like Sullivan.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Take Action:<\/strong>\u00a0If you are a resident of Saskatchewan, please use our Action Alert tool to tell your MLA to reject Bill 48.
