40 Days for Life brings hope in time of crisis

This video highlights 40 Days for Life national director David Bereit's presentation at the "Keep God in America" rally in Jacksonville, marking the end of the 40 Days for Life campaign. "It's a small way for me to say THANK YOU for all you've done to make this 40 Days for Life the most successful spring campaign yet," he said.

Listen to 40 Days for Life on Focus on the Family programs!

The 40 Days for Life mission – and the life-changing decision made by Abby Johnson – are featured in a two-part edition of the Focus on the Family radio program. Abby is the former director of the Planned Parenthood abortion clinic in Bryan/College Station, Texas ... the community where 40 Days for Life began.

During the 40 Days for Life campaign in the fall of 2009, Abby witnessed an ultrasound-guided abortion. She quit her job at Planned Parenthood, as she realized she could no longer be involved in the abortion industry.
