There is no way to tell how many babies [Marion] Hite has saved, but he does have proof of at least one. Several years ago, a woman walked up to him with tears in her eyes. She said that nine years ago she was walking to the clinic to have an abortion when she saw him and changed her mind. She had come to report how happy she was to have a 9-year-old daughter.
Thanks to his hearing aids, he caught her every word.
When a person reaches a certain age, hearing difficulties usually start coming. And Mr. Hite is all of 99 years old, his 100th birthday in less than a month. His age, though, hasn't kept him from going over to a Portland, Oregon abortion clinic every morning and staying patiently on the sidewalk as a gesture demonstrating his life-affirming stand.
Mr. Hite has been honored by pro-life groups and even by the political Constitution Party, and on Dec. 4 he will be honored again with a special Sunday mass and a reception that follows.
"Thou shalt not stand idly by when human life is at stake," he once remarked.

Considering that his book caused so many pregnanies, I'm not surprised.
What book is that? I didn't come across any mention of writings by Mr. Hite when I googled him.
Thanks for dropping by.
