History won't forget them

John, I’ve been honored to hold many babies saved from abortion at the last minute. In a culture of death, there is simply nothing like it. At 40 Days for Life, we celebrate the lives of those saved from abortion--and will continue to do so unt…

DAY 37: Babies are "parasites"

John, Unborn babies are "parasites," and humanity is a "planetary cancer." Those are the words of the notorious 81-year-old abortionist in Boulder, Colorado. Praying at the Boulder 40 Days for Life campaign makes a huge impact on this well-known…

DAY 36: Mega abortion facilities 101

John, I just visited the 40 Days for Life vigil outside the largest abortion facility in the Western Hemisphere--the 78,000 square foot facility in Houston. These mega abortion centers are a recent trend for the abortion industry. Built in secre…

DAY 35: Persecution

John, Persecution: it's the greatest compliment abortion supporters can pay you. From heckling to stolen vigil signs to a full-blown, pro-abortion protest, attempts to silence you prove that your prayers are impacting the abortion industry's bottom line. The …

DAY 34: "I need a hug"

John, With one week still to go, we know of 371 babies spared from abortion because you answered the call to pray at your local 40 Days for Life vigil! Haven't made it out yet? It's not too late. Seven-months-pregn…

DAY 33: A grave reminder

John, There's no such thing as a safe abortion. It's deadly for the baby. And--as 40 Days for Life participants around the globe have seen firsthand--it's dangerous for the moms too. Whenever an ambulance appears at a…

DAY 32: Aborting Africa

John, Western elitists think Africa has a problem: too many children. BILLIONS of dollars are flowing to the continent with the express purpose of reducing the continent's population through contraception and abortion. It's a condescending atte…

DAY 31: Twins!

John, It's the most exciting word you can hear during a 40 Days for Life campaign: TWINS! Whatever crisis leads a woman to an abortion facility, news of twins would seem to DOUBLE her motivation to have an abortion. Instead, when many expectant …

DAY 30: Behind bars

John, Next week I’ll do something I’ve never done during a 40 Days for Life campaign--share the pro-life message in the Texas state prison system. It all started years ago when the 40 Days for Life team in Saginaw, Michigan invited inmates at a…

DAY 29: Because someone was here

Dear John, "I just want you to know you are doing the right thing," a young woman pushing a baby carriage told 40 Days for Life vigil participants. "I came here last year for an abortion, and there were some people praying." The Manchester, New…

DAY 28: The medical waste truck

John, Even the toughest vigil participants hit their knees and shed a tear when a medical waste truck arrives to haul away the tiny bodies of aborted babies. It's bad enough that these precious babies lose their lives. The medical waste truck i…

DAY 24: Meet 2 former abortion workers

John, Since 2007, 191 abortion workers have converted and left their jobs through a 40 Days for Life campaign. This is often a long, tough, and beautiful journey that shows the redemptive power of Jesus Christ. This fall, the 40 Days for Life h…

DAY 23: Choice is real...so is coercion

John, The choice of abortion is like all choices--it comes with consequences. Abortion advocates hide behind this term as if abortion is a flippant choice that happens, and all involved simply move on. The former CEO of Planned Parenthood public…

DAY 22: "They don't do abortions!"

John, Most 40 Days for Life vigils take place in front of surgical abortion facilities... ...but some are held in front of abortion referral centers. At these vigils, you don't see last-minute saved babies. Hecklers will also yell, "They don't …

DAY 21: Secret abortion facility

John, Illinois got what it wanted. The Land of Lincoln sadly joined the list of other states who want to expand abortion and infanticide. Illinois is now targeting the women of its pro-life neighbor (Missouri). The Planned Parenthood in St. Loui…

DAY 18: They don't all turn away

John, On a beautiful autumn day in Colorado Springs, a dad joyfully tossed his little boy in the air and caught him. A picture-perfect scene. There's just one problem with the story: it took place in a Planned Parenthood parking lot. While the …

DAY 16: Keep it simple

John, Abortion is a simple issue. While adults twist the truth to rationalize the irrational, children inherently understand that you can never, ever hurt a baby. In San Luis Obispo, California, a young boy asked his grandmother, "That sign sa…

DAY 12: Clergy bless abortion facility

John, The abortion industry has been trying a new tactic the last few years, especially where 40 Days for Life vigils are held--playing the God card. Of all the shameful and bizarre ways to mold God to ourselves, getting clergy to bless an abor…

DAY 9: Sex offenders & abortion

John, The abortion industry likes to paint pro-lifers as "extremist" because we oppose abortion even in cases of rape. The oft-repeated attack shamefully exploits sexual assault survivors for financial and political gain. And it's particularly…

DAY 8: Overcoming fear

John, If you've never done it before, the idea of praying in front of an abortion business can be intimidating. What is it actually like to pray at a 40 Days for Life campaign? We answer that question on this week's episode of The 40 Days for …

DAY 7: "Why don't you..."

John, "Why don't you go help kids who've already been born?" Spend enough time at a 40 Days for Life vigil, and you're bound to hear some tired version of this unimaginative question. Nobody proclaims concern about poverty, war, and the environ…
