A Brisbane based pro-life group says eight babies have been saved since the launch of their ministry several months ago.

The group, known as Project 139, took to their Facebook page yesterday revealing parents made the decision to follow through with their pregnancy as a result of a conversation with a counselor outside an abortion clinic.

“We are there to give them another choice, to show them how abortion is not their only option,” the group said.

The ministry also extends support once a family make the decision not to abort their baby. “We have been able to give to these families what they need to bring their baby into this world. Cots, baby clothing, nappies and other essential needs have been donated.”

“The families have told us that they are really appreciative that we were out there to talk.”
