"The hours of prayer and fasting have begun in front of the Ginecenter abortion facility in M?laga," said Juan, one of the local leaders in this Spanish city.

The volunteers are making good on their promise "to go out and give public testimony of the gospel and our faith in the darkest periphery of our society: the door to the abortion center, where the most defenseless are put to death -- with the total indifference of so many."

Malaga's first 40 Days for Life vigil is dedicated to prayer for the conversion of abortion center workers, for women who think about abortion, for those who have already aborted and for the conversion of minds and hearts of stone within the community.
