DAY 9: No more hailing Satan

John, Bellingham, Washington is one of the most aggressive pro-abortion communities in the United States. This past spring, our local 40 Days for Life campaign faced constant persecution, threats and harassment--including passersby hailing Sat…

DAY 8: Why they hate her

John, In a year filled with tension, it seems that the judicial version of Mother Teresa has been nominated to the Supreme Court. Judge Amy Coney Barrett is a universally respected jurist, accomplished legal scholar, committed Christian known f…

DAY 4: It's not fake news

John, The abortion industry did NOT want Sue Thayer to share her conversion story at the 40 Days for Life kickoff event in Toledo, Ohio. Pro-abortion protesters tried to drown out the story of how Sue went from a longtime Planned Parenthood man…

DAY 3: Abortion is front and center

John, I just returned from Florida and am soon leaving for California. I was interviewed by MSNBC, which came out to a 40 Days for Life vigil (stay tuned for air times). MSNBC has never covered a 40 Days for Life vigil, but pro-life grassroots…

DAY 2: First vigil-site turnaround!

John, Omar's 40 Days for Life campaign in Downey, California, got off to an interesting start. No sooner had he arrived at the vigil site to set up for Day 1 than a motorist drove by, cursing and angrily extending a middle finger. "Well, they…

Cancel Culture vs. 40 Days for Life

John, "Don't like abortion, don't have one!" This new approach taken by hardcore abortion advocates has replaced making abortion "safe and rare." "Safe and rare" implies there's something wrong with or messy about abortion. One group has not ad…
