News Update: As confirmation hearings for Amy Coney Barrett continue, listen to our recent podcast on Judge Barrett and what comes next for the High Court: 40daysforlife.com/meet-acb

John,

Today, I want to share a short video answering a critical question:

What about the tens of thousands of babies who aren't saved by our prayers?

When a little girl or little boy is lost to abortion on your watch--unnamed, unknown and apparently unloved--does it mean you've wasted your time?

Here's the video:

Fargo, North Dakota

Nobody likes robocalls...but pro-lifers in North Dakota make an exception when the calls come from the 40 Days for Life campaign in Fargo.

Whenever the Fargo campaign saves a baby, the campaign team broadcasts the good news to nearly 2,000 pro-lifers across the state with automated calls and text messages.

"Everyone knows to answer the calls," said 40 Days for Life Outreach Director Sue Thayer, who recently visited the Fargo campaign. "Very awesome!"

So far, this vigil, the campaign team has been able to share news of 2 saved babies!

"If vigil participants are at the sidewalk and learn that abortions are happening that day, they can activate the program," Sue reported. "1,800 people are notified, which starts them praying. It also helps bring more people to the sidewalk."

Columbia, Missouri

Kathy reported that there was a significant increase in clients at Planned Parenthood--even though the facility has not been able to perform abortions for months.

Why? The abortion giant was giving out free birth control.

Kathy observed that the giveaway is likely designed to bring in new customers, who Planned Parenthood might be able to sell abortions to down the road.

It's not the first stunt like this to take place in Columbia. Several years ago, Planned Parenthood started giving away free pregnancy tests--but only after pro-lifers gave away free tests first.

Who among all these does not know that the hand of the Lord has done this, in His hand is the life of every creature and the breath of all mankind.

— Job 12:9-10

Thank you, Father God, for being the Creator of my life and every life. Please give me, and the society in which I live, an appreciation for your gift of life. Please help us set aside our pride and acknowledge that we need you. Show me how I can honor you today in response to all the blessings you bestow freely.
