Also sharing tonight is Keisha, a former patient of Leroy Carhart's, who after meeting with pro-life counselors decided to have her baby.

Keisha and her daughter will be featured tonight discussing how she had no fetal anomalies and the only thing Carhart talked to her about was the price of the abortion.

The address of Covenant Life is 7501 Muncaster Mill Road in Gaithersburg, Maryland.
