Our full day in Florida began with a nice crowd at the vigil stop in the Orlando suburb of Altamonte Springs.
Two media outlets covered the event! Local leaders report five confirmed saves here since this campaign began.
Staff members from the pregnancy care center next door said that during this 40 Days for Life campaign, the abortion center where volunteers have been praying has reduced hours and had a noticeable decrease in customers!
The faithful of Sarasota, Florida came out in great numbers to witness for life outside the Planned Parenthood mega abortion center during the vigil stop … while abortion workers stood outside the building and listened to the entire event.
The pro-life coordinator for the Catholic Diocese of Venice, Jeanne Berdeaux, who has helped to coordinate 40 Days for Life campaigns in this part of the state for a long time, thanked the volunteers for their prayers and efforts here over many years.
It was the middle of the afternoon on a weekday … but enthusiastic people turned out for the vigil stop in St. Petersburg, Florida.
The prayer volunteers responded enthusiastically when Sarah, the vigil coordinator, announced that three babies have been saved from abortion at the local site during this 40 Days for Life campaign.
At our final event in Tampa, local leaders reported that 11 lives have been saved from abortion during this 40 Days for Life campaign!
A local Telemundo TV news crew covered the rally. The attendees, some of whom drove several hours from other parts of the state, got creative and used a step ladder to find the few remaining available spots to sign the bus — since it is now covered by thousands upon thousands of signatures.
It’s good that there are only three days of the tour remaining, or we’d need a second bus to hold this massive display of support from across America!
