LifeNews reports: When billboards went up last November in Johnson County, Barb Gosa hoped they’d see an increase in clients at her Advice and Aid Pregnancy Centers in Shawnee and Overland Park. Not only did they get an increase in clients, but the type of clients surprised her.
“It’s really exciting that God has been bringing us clients at risk for abortion,” Gosa stated. “But, we’ve had more women come to us with abortions already scheduled than we’ve ever seen!” Read more here.
