The mother-to-be left a note on the Labun's car informing them how much that simple phrase affected her life. When she saw the phrase (Abortion stops a beating heart) it made her reconsider her "choice" and convinced her to do a "180" sparing her baby's fate. Although she kept her name anonymous, her letter will probably be circulating throughout pro-life circles for years to come. - Hidden Nook

MILLINOCKET, Maine, August 15, 2005 (LifeSiteNews.com) – A bumper sticker saved a baby’s life, as reported by an e-newsletter. Pro-lifers Dave and Mary Labun came out of the house to their parked car to find a handwritten note on the windshield thanking them for their “Abortion Stops a Beating Heart” bumper sticker.The note reads as follows:
Hello,“We live 30 yards from the high school where I taught for 31 years,” presumably the school the girl referred to in the letter, David Labun told LifeSiteNews.com Monday. He said that his wife saw the note first, because it was her car that is usually parked in the driveway with the rear bumper facing the street. He said the handwritten note was inside a plastic baggy.This might be very weird, but I wanted to thank you. I’m not sure what you believe in, but I’m a strong believer in God, and right now I am 17 and pregnant. And on my way to school one day, I was really wondering what to do – I was really thinking about abortion, because I was scared.
As that thought came to mind, I walked past your car, and happened to look over and saw your bumper sticker, “Abortion Stops a Beating Heart.”
My heart dropped. I believe God was talking to me, through that sticker, and I also believe I will never think about it again. I’m going to keep my baby, and I’m not that scared any more.
Thank you so much for helping me make the best choice of my life. God bless – a very happy mother-to-be
.“Normally I don’t like bumper stickers,” he said. “But since it was for the pro-life cause, I thought it would be a good idea.” Labun said people occasionally react to the sticker, as well as to the sticker on his other car, which reads, “Adoption, not Abortion.” Usually observers say, “I like your bumper sticker,” he said.
