The Reason for Rescuing "Rescuing" is a united action in which people peacefully place their bodies in front of the entrances of an abortion clinic. The purpose is to prevent access to the clinic, and to thereby save the lives of unborn children who would otherwise be killed shortly after their mothers enter the building. Of course, mothers denied entrance still have the option of rescheduling an appointment at another time, at the same clinic or a different one. But the rescue accomplishes several vital things. First and foremost, it buys time for the unborn child. The child does not die today. Second, there is a good chance the child will not die at all--for any number of reasons his mother might decide not to have an abortion, or to delay indefinitely rescheduling an abortion. Planned Parenthood estimates that 20% of women who miss their initial appointment for an abortion, regardless of the reason, do not end up getting an abortion at all.
