John,

It's another saved-baby Monday! As we reach the halfway point of this 40 Days for Life campaign, we know of …

...163 babies saved from abortion through your prayers!

Today we have dramatic video footage of a vigil participant recounting how her prayers and presence led a mother to make a last-minute decision to keep her baby!

The day she saved this baby, Meg was busy. She wondered whether she had time to go pray for an hour in front of Planned Parenthood.

It's a struggle all of us can relate to!

But she showed up anyway, and a precious baby is alive today as a result.

What will God do when you give up an hour on the sidewalk?

There's only one way to find out. Sign up to pray at your nearest 40 Days for Life vigil TODAY!

Columbus, Georgia

40 Days for Life Director of Medical Affairs & Education Dr. Haywood Robinson recently visited the Columbus, Georgia campaign...

...which has saved THREE babies from abortion!

The campaign is organized by Seneca Choices for Life--a pro-life pregnancy center NEXT DOOR to the abortion facility.

"God is certainly in our midst," said Amber, who leads the campaign.

San Fernando Valley, California

A woman ran up to prayer warriors in San Fernando Valley to thank them for their presence.

Earlier, the woman's daughter had come for an abortion and decided against it after she saw the 40 Days for Life vigil taking place.

"The daughter remembered the days when she, herself, was out here praying with her Catholic school!" wrote Patti, the local leader.

Though she was scared to admit to her mom that she was pregnant, she called her with the news.

"The mom immediately drove to [the abortion center] and was ecstatic and in tears, thanking us for being here," Patti said. "This will be her first grandchild!"

Isaac prayed to the Lord for his wife because she was barren; and the Lord granted his prayer and Rebekah his wife conceived. The children struggled together within her, and she said, “If it is thus, why do I live?” So she went to inquire of the Lord. And the Lord said to her, “Two nations are in your womb, and two peoples, born of you, shall be divided; the one shall be stronger than the other, the elder shall serve the younger.”

— Genesis 25:21-23

O, God, you formed us in our mother’s womb and planned a unique and special life and purpose for each of us, and we do thank you. Grant that we may pray and work for an end to abortion, especially in these 40 days, so that no unborn baby you have made may fail to achieve your divine intention for him or her because of intentional abortion.
