Guest host Scott Hennen did a great job. We couldn’t have asked for a more enthusiastic endorsement of 40 Days for Life!

During the radio show David discussed the abortion industry’s insider strategy memo which provides marching orders for the Obama administration's first 100 days in office — including requests that the government provide the failing abortion industry with a $4.6 billion taxpayer-funded bailout.

 

For unto us a child is born ...

 Shamus, a child saved from abortion during 40 Days for Life in West Palm Beach, Florida

They say that a picture’s worth a thousand words. Well, this photograph documents a baby who was saved by last fall’s 40 Days for Life — and then was brought out to meet the prayer volunteers at the 40 Days for Life campaign this fall. And in the background you can see the abortion facility where he was scheduled to be aborted.

That’s baby Shamus. His mother pulled up in front of the 40 Days for Life vigil this fall in West Palm Beach, Florida. She said to the prayer volunteers, “Dunno if you remember me, but a year ago you stopped me. Look in the back seat — he’s PERFECT.”

This picture tells the entire story of 40 Days for Life. Shamus is one of 1,128 children who have been spared from abortion in the last 14 months. And one day, we pray that you also can have the experience of meeting a child who is alive because of your faithful participation in these efforts!

Abortion facility to close following 40 Days for Life campaign

As you look at that picture, think about what it will feel like when the abortion facility or Planned Parenthood nearest to you posts a similar sign — the day when you realize that due to your faithfulness, no more children will perish there and no more women will be wounded there.

There are more blessings from the fall 40 Days for Life campaign as well. Hear about some of them on this 10-minute audio with testimonials from local 40 Days for Life leaders as they share the blessings God provided in their communities:

40 Days for Life wrap-up: 614 lives saved from abortion

 40 Days for Life vigil in Killeen, Texas

Amazing things happened during this fall's 40 Days for Life:
  • More than 76,000 joined together in praying and fasting for an end to abortion, and conducting peaceful 40-day prayer vigils outside Planned Parenthood centers and abortion facilities

  • Reports from around the country documented 614 lives spared from abortion -- and those are just the ones we know about
  • Eight abortion workers quit their jobs and walked away from the abortion industry
  • Numerous abortion facilities cut back their days and hours of operation during the campaign, and another abortion facility announced on day 38 of this fall’s campaign that it was closing its doors for good
  • Hundreds of women and men have been spared from the tragic effects of abortion, including a lifetime of regrets
  • More than 130 news stories were featured in newspapers, magazines, radio shows and television programs from coast to coast
  • Many people with past abortion experiences have stepped forward to begin post-abortion healing and recovery
  • And after 35 years of legalized abortion in America, many believers are experiencing a renewed sense of HOPE!

 

40 Days for Life: Look beyond elections, focus on local impact

 40 Days for Life vigil in Augusta, Georgia

“With the defeat of pro-life ballot initiatives in Colorado and South Dakota, the election of an ardent abortion advocate for president, and an increase in the number of abortion proponents in Congress, pro-lifers may feel a sense of despair,” said David Bereit of 40 Days for Life.

“However," he said, "we have every reason to be optimistic about the profound pro-life shift that is beginning to take place below the radar.”

The next 40 Days for Life campaign begins February 25. [more...]
