John,

Planned Parenthood management usually stays on message...

...but Planned Parenthood of Northern California's director of operations just couldn't help herself.

Recently, she ranted to local media that when 40 Days for Life participants stand vigil outside Planned Parenthood, the appointment no-show rate more than doubles!

Check out this short video from our headquarters, a now-closed Planned Parenthood, on this great compliment to YOU:

If peaceful prayer can collapse the abortion rate in Northern California, there's nowhere it won't work.

We've closed abortion centers in cities like Chicago, London, and Seattle. Maybe your local abortion business will be next!

Find your nearest vigil and sign up to help double the no-show rate for abortion appointments where you live:

Columbia, Missouri

Columbia is a college town, and 40 Days for Life volunteers meet a lot of college students as they stand vigil.

One student brought a friend to Planned Parenthood for STI testing.

But she also said she was pro-life and enthusiastically agreed to pray for an end to abortion with vigil participants.

"Now that is the Holy Spirit!" exclaimed Kathy, the longtime leader in Columbia. "Let us pray for these two young women and for all who come to Planned Parenthood."

Before parting, the college student assured the pro-lifers that she was an advocate for abstinence--and would be encouraging her friend to practice it as well.

Seaford, Delaware

Campaign volunteers in Seaford stand vigil in front of a busy health campus. At locations like this, it can be difficult to tell who is coming to Planned Parenthood and who is coming to see a legitimate health care provider.

But the Seaford team makes its witness more visible by coming out in significant numbers.

"We had at least 12 out on the sidewalk to pray for the end of abortion!" said Rebecca, the local leader. "We prayed together as a group. It was tremendous for...varying denominations [to be] joined by God for the same cause."

And even in a difficult state for pro-lifers, numerous passersby offered positive beeps and words of encouragement!

Niagara Falls, Ontario

Angela on the Canadian side of Niagara Falls is leading her first 40 Days for Life campaign because she believes love is the key to ending abortion.

"40 Days for Life is all about LOVE!" Angela said. "We pray, we fast, we sacrifice for others during these 40 Days for Life, as Christ did for us! Our love for these moms and their babies can be a deciding factor in them choosing LIFE!"

And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.

—John 1:14

Heavenly Father, I thank you for your love and saving grace in Christ Jesus. Help us to realize every day the great blessing we have in our Savior. I pray that we will rise every morning with excitement and zeal, looking forward to walking another day in your footsteps, fully knowing that you continue to dwell among us.
