We are in the home stretch of this 40 Days for Life campaign! And so far, we know of 403 babies spared from abortion since Day 1!
Here are some stories about last-minute decisions … for life!
El Paso, Texas
Family members praying at the 40 Days for Life vigil watched as a car with a young woman and her mother drove slowly past them.
A few minutes later, they returned … and entered the abortion center.
The volunteers reacted by praying even more fervently.
Not long afterward, the younger women walked outside, smiled at the volunteers and joyfully called out, “I’m having a baby!”
Her mother followed close behind, raising her arms in the air as she exclaimed, “We’re having a baby!”
The vigil participants actually cheered and applauded.
Mark, one of the 40 Days for Life leaders, said, “This was another case where their hearts had been moved simply by the visible witness of volunteers praying on the sidewalk.”
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
In Philadelphia, Monique tells of a young woman that 40 Days for Life volunteers directed to a local pregnancy care center.
She confided in the counselors that she’s overwhelmed by the idea of raising another baby … but once she heard about the support available through the center, she chose life. She said the counselors helped her realize that having the child was what she was meant to do.
Vigil participants also met a mother of two … who was setting up an abortion appointment because her husband didn’t want another child. “I know it’s not good,” she told them, “but he won’t let me” have this baby.
“Please pray for her and her husband,” Monique said, “that she is willing and enabled to stand up for her child, that we can help them.”
She reminded the 40 Days for Life volunteers that “none of this is possible if you aren’t out there.”
