Medellin, Colombia

October 7, 2016

The 40 Days for Life team in Medellin tells of a couple arriving at the Profamilia abortion center (yes, that means “pro-family”).

But before they walked in, they stopped at the vigil site to look at the posters and read information about the reality of abortion … and what goes on at Profamilia. They looked a bit anxious, but still they went inside.

About an hour and a half later, they came out with tears in their eyes … and thanked the vigil participants for being there.

The woman explained that she had called a service that was supposed to be a women’s help line because she was pregnant and didn’t know what to do.

This service referred her to Profamilia … even though she wasn’t necessarily looking for an abortion.

When the couple got inside, they met with a counselor who began to pressure them … saying that abortion is a woman’s right and there was no reason to feel bad about terminating the pregnancy.

But she had just seen the 40 Days for Life posters and literature, and she knew in her heart that this simply wasn’t true.

She chose life … and thanked the 40 Days for Life participants for their powerful witness.

DAY 11: Meet Matt Britton

October 8, 2016

Participating in a 40 Days for Life campaign can be hard. But we get to do this in a free nation.

When we engage the culture, we do so out of love of God, love of neighbor … and love of country.

Someone who understands this is Matt Britton. Matt is a former elected prosecutor and corporate attorney for publicly traded tech companies who now serves as the 40 Days for Life board chair.

Many of our local campaign leaders have worked with Matt or have met him at a vigil. He was instrumental in launching the UNITED campaign to all 50 states and has spoken around the world at 40 Days for Life events. Matt is also the youngest of ten children. He and his wife, Libby, have eight children ranging in age from kindergarten to college.

When we know — and use — our rights, we can change our country. Matt joined me on a 40 Days for Life podcast episode to discuss this important topic … and what you can and cannot do at a 40 Days for Life vigil. So if you love your country, listen to this podcast … and then find the location nearest you.
