00:00If you would have looked at me in my old life, you wouldn't have thought anything good.
00:06If you hadn't stopped me outside the abortion clinic, I wouldn't have had that little Simpson.
00:13Here in Texas, major abortion laws are dominating the news cycle.
00:16Thirteen clinics were forced to close, leaving just eight in all of Texas.
00:20The eyes of the world are on the border town.
00:22On that side, the abortion clinic. Over here, the anti-abortion clinic.
00:26Only offense physically separates the two institutions.
00:31Now that I have Jesus in my life, I feel like I have a purpose.
00:35Hi, good morning. I'm a clinic escort at the Women's Health. We have some protesters.
00:39I started providing clinic defense when the protesters started amping up their tactics.
00:43We're all here praying for you.
00:45You're going to regret walking in there.
00:47Keep the peace, okay?
00:48What keeps us going is that this is what the patients have to face.
00:51And they should not face this alone.
00:55I'm Catholic. I pray every day before I come here.
00:59Ever since I started working here, the church turned me away.
01:03My conscience is clean with him.
01:05People seek abortions for a multitude of reasons.
01:13I know what that desperation feels like.
01:15I just wasn't strong enough to have an abortion at 19.
01:19I turn to God. I always turn to God.
01:21He's making me tell my beliefs.
01:25I can't shake the feeling that something really bad is going to go down.
01:28911, what's your emergency?
01:30They attacked me.
01:34We're all very angry, which is good because it's anger that gets things changing.
01:39We're all very angry, which is good because it's anger that gets things changing.
01:56Everything that we're doing really is life and death.
01:59That's what we're fighting for.
02:08That's what we're fighting for.
