?It's a wonderful blessing to see young men and women praying on the sidewalk outside an abortion facility,? said Wendy, the 40 Days for Life coordinator in Overland Park.

Four high schools and young adult ministries have adopted days on the sidewalk to pray for the ending of abortion. ?The entire football team of St. James Academy came to pray on the sidewalk prior to going to one of their games,? she said ? adding that they won the game.

?Abortion will end because of young ones like these who take their faith seriously,? Wendy said, ?and are willing to take a public stand for the sake of the unborn.?
