40 Days For Life — Looking Back

Hundreds of lives were saved - because people came out and prayed:

Thank you for an amazing 40 days! As of the dawn of Day 40 of this fall's 40 Days for Life campaign, we have received 534 reports of mothers who've turned away from abortion abortion appointments and spared the lives of unborn children. We know of eight more abortion center employees who have quit their jobs – and we're praying for others who are considering it.

With the last day reports still coming in, it turns out that there were as many as 571 babies saved. Try to picture a dozen of school buses full of children - that's the difference we've made.

And, at least two babies (maybe as many as four or five) were saved here in Fredericton — thanks to the tireless efforts of the devoted pro-lifers from Fredericton and from all across New Brunswick, who kept the vigil going, rain or shine.

Sure, it may seem like a drop in the bucket, considering that in Canada alone, we have about a 100,000 abortions a year. Still, if there is a way to save at least those few that can be saved, it's worth the effort. Overall, since the very first 40 Days For Life vigil, more than 2000 babies were saved.

Starting with the first-ever 40 Days for Life campaign in Bryan/College Station, Texas in 2004, and continuing through the international 40 Days for Life effort that has just concluded, we now have confirmed reports of at more than 2,000 babies whose lives have been saved from the tragedy of abortion.

40 Days for Life is the largest and longest coordinated pro-life mobilization in history. The fall 40 Days for Life campaign, which began September 23, will conclude on November 1. The initiative, in 212 cities across 45 American states, five Canadian provinces, and Denmark, consists of 40 days of intense prayer and fasting for an end to abortion, peaceful vigils outside abortion facilities, and grassroots community organizing.
