John,

Judge Amy Coney Barrett is now Justice Amy Coney Barrett after being confirmed by the Senate and sworn in as the U.S. Supreme Court's newest justice earlier this week.

Her confirmation is good news for abortion-vulnerable moms and babies. Barrett has a strong pro-life track record, is expected to be a reliable pro-life vote on the Court, and could help overturn Roe v. Wade as soon as next year!

As we head into Tuesday's presidential election, the appointment of Justice Barrett is a reminder that elections matter.

Over the last few years, the Supreme Court has shifted dramatically in pro-lifers' favor...

...but there's no guarantee the judicial progress will continue, so be sure to vote pro-life on Tuesday! Countless lives depend on it.

On a recent episode of The 40 Days for Life Podcast, we introduce you to Justice Barrett and discuss what her appointment means for pro-lifers. Listen in by visiting 40daysforlife.com/meet-acb.

Frankfurt, Germany

Tomislav in Frankfurt said his vigil took place in spite of various health-related rules and requirements.

One benefit of socially distanced campaign events is that they make prayer gatherings look HUGE.

During business hours, the vigil needs to be held 150 meters away from the abortion center. But when the facility is closed in the evening, peaceful prayer warriors can get closer, so young people held weekly Thursday night vigils directly in front of the abortion center--a powerful sight!

Rutland, Vermont

Delia in Rutland said that the Planned Parenthood facility where she prays appears to do more abortions by pill than by surgery.

And though she wasn't able to confirm a saved baby, she said one abortion-bound woman appeared to leave the abortion facility without ending her child's life.

"Although only God knows for certain, a young woman and her child entered and left," Delia said. "She showed many signs of walking away [from abortion]."

He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away. He who was seated on the throne said, “I am making everything new!”

— Revelation 21:4-5

Father, you are the God of hope. Your word fills us with the vision of the world to come, when every tear will be wiped away, and death will be no more. Father, how we need that hope, how we are strengthened by that vision! Keep our hearts focused on heaven, and diligent in the labors of earth. As we struggle against the culture of death, root our souls in the assurance of victory.
