“You’re free now.”
Scott Hord — a pastor from Smyrna, Tennessee — said these words to a young African-American woman in front of Planned Parenthood Nashville after he and four others circled around her in prayer. She entered the abortion clinic’s parking lot with the burdens of a relationship full of abuse; after speaking to the Christians and changing her mind, she departed for a nearby pregnancy center — but not before she received hugs, encouragement, and contact information so that they could meet any needs she might have in the future.
