About 40 Days for Life
Which will be the first abortion-free states?
“Despite the increasingly shrill rhetoric of the abortion industry, the simple truth is that business is off,” said David Bereit, national campaign director of 40 Days for Life.
“Abortion numbers have dropped so significantly that several states are now down to only one or two remaining abortion centers,” he said. “This fall’s 40 Days for Life campaign presents a great opportunity to finish the life-saving work in these states, creating abortion-free zones and encouraging other states to follow suit.”
This fall, 40 Days for Life vigils will take place at the last remaining abortion centers in North Dakota and Mississippi, states which each have only one remaining abortion facility, as well as the last two abortion facilities in Nebraska and the last two in Kentucky…[more]
40 Days for Life coming to 170+ cities this fall
Our second national campaign for 2008 will take place September 24 – November 2 and will be conducted in cities from coast to coast.
In all, more than 170 communities in the United States and Canada are planning to participate. The list includes cities in 45 states and two provinces.
“The spread of 40 Days for Life is amazing,” said national campaign director David Bereit. “The growth of this outreach is a reflection of the excitement that people are expressing about the many ways 40 Days for Life impacts a community. This program is being embraced by cities conducting their first 40 Days for Life and those who are planning their second, third, or – in the case of Bryan/College Station, Texas – fourth campaign.”
With campaigns in both Washington, D.C. and Ottawa, Ontario, this means that 40 Days for Life will have a presence in the capitals of two nations. “We firmly believe that this campaign of prayer and fasting will have a profound impact,” said Bereit.
Now is the time to get involved in one of the campaigns, either in or near your home town. Each listed community has a link to local information about that city’s effort. You can also see how this unique outreach has already affected many cities around the country, and learn what happens when God’s people work together to do His will.
