Eduardo Verastegui, the Mexican actor who starred in the movie “Bella,” joined pro-life sidewalk counselors and prayerful demonstrators at a Los Angeles abortion clinic on Saturday as he counseled women to turn away from aborting their unborn children.
Many of the demonstrators were present at the Family Planning Associates abortion clinic as part of the 40 Days for Life campaign.
John Anthony, co-coordinator of 40 Days for Life Los Angeles, described Verastegui’s efforts in an e-mail to CNA.
The actor arrived at the clinic just after eight in the morning and stayed until shortly after noon. According to Anthony, Verastegui spent time in prayer and counseled and encouraged women to keep their babies, acting with “love, tenderness, humility and compassion.”
