One was that this trial was not about abortion \u2014 which was sort of ridiculous, because that\u2019s the reason that we were there \u2014 to stop abortions and to love the mothers and the children, but primarily to see if we could intervene and save the life of the babies \u2014 and then saving the life of the baby often saves the life of the mother as well.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Last summer, Harlow <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/great-grandmother-federal-prison-god-called-me\/\">told Live Action News<\/a> that &#8220;when you do a rescue, you have to agree to be totally peaceful and you can pray and you can sing, and what you do is you go to try to help the mothers and let them know you can help them with whatever they need,\u201d she said. \u201cIf it\u2019s housing, if it\u2019s to talk to the parents so they don\u2019t get kicked out of the house, if it\u2019s a medical need, help to stay in school or to keep their job. [\u2026] So that\u2019s what we do. We try to talk to the mother. We try to love them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;God made life, not us, and so we have to do a better job of taking care of one another, not just the unborn, but especially women. We\u2019ve done a horrible job at that,&#8221; she added at the time. It was Harlow&#8217;s faith that led her to take action.<\/p>\n<p>As President Trump summed up at the National Prayer Breakfast, &#8220;If we don&#8217;t have religious liberty then we don&#8217;t have a free country.
