40 Days For Life: DAY 29: They Failed to Escape Prayer

The abortion industry has tried everything to shut out the prayers of 40 Days for Life participants.


From fortress-like abortion mega-centers to buffer zones and relocation, none of those tactics have worked.


Still, you can't blame the Affiliated Medical Services abortion business for hoping a change of address would reverse its fortunes. After all, the Milwaukee 40 Days for Life team has saved thousands of babies at the facility over the last 15 years.


But the 40 Days for Life team hasn't missed a beat at the new location.


"The move didn't help [the abortion business]," said Dan, Milwaukee's longtime co-leader. "They are really off their game. Their new location was not well thought out."


The Milwaukee team has already saved 12 babies from abortion this campaign!

Dan said the abortion facility's new landlord appeared unhappy when he learned that the 40 Days for Life vigil would take place in front of his property--and wondered whether the landlord knew he would be renting to an abortion business when the lease was signed.


Either way, 40 Days for Life participants will continue to stand vigil year-round until no more children die inside the building.


"I am so proud of all the herculean efforts that local pro-lifers have put in," Dan said. "Just outstanding. God bless these people. I work with walking saints."

Arizona


40 Days for Life director of medical affairs and education Dr. Haywood Robinson recently delivered the keynote address at the Arizona March for Life, which was attended by thousands.


Dr. Robinson also visited the Phoenix campaign. "The facility in Phoenix had been operating for many, many years, without anyone knowing that they were performing abortions," he said.


But when doctors tried to get Nancy's daughter to abort because of a life-limiting diagnosis, Nancy felt "compelled" to get involved with 40 Days for Life--and to shine a light on the horrors of abortion. She's now led the Phoenix campaign for many years!


After the March, Dr. Robinson visited the Glendale 40 Days for Life vigil, which is held in front of an abortion facility located on the site of a former day-care center.


"I shared the importance of men serving and standing boldly in their rightful role as protector and provider," he said.

Mostar, Bosnia


The 40 Days for Life campaign in Mostar--the city's first--takes place in front of a hospital that performs abortions.


Interestingly, the vigil is under the umbrella of the hospital's own chapel.


"We have a very good response and acceptance in the public [and] the church," said Jasna, who leads the campaign.


The pro-abortion movement hasn't had as much success. A planned two-hour protest of the 40 Days for Life vigil drew only one attendee--who left after just 36 minutes!

And one of them, realizing he had been healed, returned, glorifying God in a loud voice.

--Luke 17:15


Dear Lord, thank you for the innumerable babies and mothers who have been saved from abortion through 40 Days for Life. And thank you in advance for the lives that will be changed through this campaign. Work in our own hearts so that we might see every circumstance as a chance to grow closer to you and to express our thanksgiving for your faithfulness. Amen.

For life,

40 Days For Life: DAY 28: "Murder Is My Hobby"

Planned Parenthood supporters used to justify abortion as a private matter that women choose only after thoughtful deliberation.


Those days are long gone.


Abortion activists now openly celebrate abortion by embracing the vulgar, the grotesque, and even the satanic.


Case in point: 40 Days for Life participants on the East Coast observed an abortion worker's vehicle bearing a bumper sticker that reads, "Murder is my hobby."

Another macabre sticker on the vehicle depicts a bleeding heart with the word "dead" emblazoned over it.


These stickers are outrageous--but they're also highly likely to backfire.


Women aren't getting abortions as their "hobby." And any reminder that abortion causes the death of an innocent human being only increases the likelihood that women will decide not to go through with the abortion.


Give them another sign to bail on their abortion appointments by praying at your local 40 Days for Life vigil:

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania


In another bizarre twist, pro-abortion activists seem to have adopted the devil as a mascot for their movement.


They shouted "Hail Satan" at the Texas state Capitol when pro-life legislation was passed into law and also at 40 Days for Life participants standing vigil.


Now, an abortion facility escort in Philadelphia sports a hat that says, "Made by Satan."


"Forgive them, Lord, they know not what they do," wrote Monique, who leads one of the 40 Days for Life campaigns in the City of Brotherly Love. "Please pray for her conversion. She is actually a beautifully made girl. Sadly, she has been duped by Satan."

Lynnwood, Washington


40 Days for Life general counsel Matt Britton's trek through the Evergreen State continued in Lynnwood, where he was accompanied by Jennifer Kendrex from the 40 Days for Life Institute of Law & Justice as well as Fr. Francis de Rosa.


The trio encouraged vigil participants who represented not only the Lynnwood vigil, but also vigils in Everett and Mt. Vernon.


"As is typical on Tuesdays in Lynnwood, our group was greeted by an abortion-supporting couple displaying their signs and ringing a cowbell near the vigil," wrote Rebecca, the local campaign leader.  


But the attempt to discourage 40 Days for Life volunteers failed.


"[The visit from headquarters] was amazing and encouraging," said one attendee. "Thank you for a wonderful morning!" added another.

Peter got out of the boat and began to walk on the water toward Jesus. But when he saw how [strong] the wind was he became frightened; and, beginning to sink, he cried out, "Lord, save me!"

--Matthew 14:29-30


Thank you, Lord, for my doubt, which allows me to practice faith. Hear my prayer for expectant mothers. Give them the courage to walk in faith. Help them to see the nobility of their motherhood. Through the storms of life, keep them close to you and comfort them in the safety of your arms. Amen.

For life,
