DAY 32: Great media coverage!

October 29, 2016 fall2016dc6

You won’t be surprised to hear that the media is not typically pro-life.

However, 40 days for Life campaigns are getting excellent media coverage at the local level. The media typically thinks the vigils are there to intimidate or harass, but when they go out to the vigil they see the truth — in the form of peaceful, prayerful volunteers.

The joy of our volunteers and leaders stands in stark contrast to Planned Parenthood employees, who won’t usually appear on camera, choosing instead to offer cold prepared statements.

The UNITED bus tour has been the focus of increasing — and increasingly positive — local media coverage. And Christian media has been welcoming, as always … in reports such as an excellent feature article that appeared in the National Catholic Register.

UNITED TOUR: Arizona and New Mexico

October 29, 2016 fall2016flagstaff1

We kicked off another day on the road with an encouraging vigil stop in Flagstaff, Arizona.

The volunteers in Flagstaff are working and praying to close down the local Planned Parenthood center. They also have the opportunity to minister to passers-by and the homeless at their location, which we were able to witness during the stop.

The 40 Days for Life campaign in Rio Rancho, New Mexico is held outside a Planned Parenthood center that doesn’t perform surgical abortions.

But at this UNITED vigil stop, the local campaign leader reminded attendees that every Planned Parenthood center promotes, sells, recommends and refers for abortions … and needs prayers outside its doors.

Our day finished with a wonderful New Mexico state rally at dusk in Albuquerque — the first UNITED event to be broadcast live on the radio!

Albuquerque has the unfortunate reputation of being the late-term abortion capital of America, but the dedication, prayers and tireless efforts of faithful people here are saving lives — including two babies saved from abortion here since the start of this campaign!

Attendees traveled from across the state, including a group that drove three hours from Las Cruces.

The bus and advance team are now on the longest drive of the entire tour, heading to events in Texas. Please pray for safe travels!
