Gems at University of Tennessee

There were some beautiful gems at the University of Tennessee at Knoxville during our Spring 2018 visit.

Planting the seeds, reaping the harvest.  “Last year I was mad at you,” Nola said.  “But I did some studying and realized abortion is wrong.  Preborn children should have a chance to live.”

Future pro-life lawyer.  “I’m studying to be a lawyer so I can fight against abortion.  Thanks for display.  May I have some pro-life buttons?”

We’ll take your baby.  A young woman asked if one of us would adopt her baby.  She said she had an abortion scheduled, but seeing the pictures she was hoping for another option.  CBR volunteer Tony replied, “YES!  Bring your baby here and we will keep her until you should want to come back and get your child,” he said.  We’re all praying for this young woman and her baby.

Experience reveals the truth.  “You guys are doing a great job,” Eric said.  He and his wife had two little girls who were born weighing one pound.  They were perfect.  That changed his whole perspective and even influenced his friends.  “They were people,” he said.

Campus pilgrimage.  Kaiya walked out of her way to find GAP after she heard about a pro-life group being on campus.  She was a freshman and wanted to be a neo-natal nurse.  She was pro-life and she made sure to let her pro-abortion roommates know where she stood.

Shocked by [Perverted] Sex Week.  We often schedule our trip to the University of Tennessee to coincide with [Perverted] Sex Week, an annual event.  “We are so glad you are here!” a visiting mother with her daughter said.  “My daughter is looking at UT to come here.  Did you see all the signs for “Sex Week?”  We can’t believe it!”

Glad his mom chose life!  A young male student asked, “How can anyone see this and think it is good?  I am glad my mother didn’t do this to me!  I am so glad you are here.”

Thanks from the other side.  “Thank you for being here with real information,” the pro-abortion young woman.  She was glad that people were being informed about what choice actually meant.  Forest Gump was absolutely right when he said, “GAP is like a box of chock-lits.  Ya neva know watt your gonna gay-ette.”

Exceeding expectations.  “I want to shake your hand.  My sister was suspected to have autism before she was born.  My mother chose not to abort.  Now my sister is in med school.”
