Charleston, South Carolina

“I was blessed to witness a child saved from abortion,” said one of the 40 Days for Life volunteers in Charleston.

A woman walked out of the abortion center and gave the vigil participant a thumbs-up.

“I waved her over and she told me that her daughter was in the clinic and had planned to have an abortion because she and her boyfriend were breaking up,” the volunteer said. “The mother said that she had been trying to talk her daughter out of the abortion and had even offered to raise the child for her.”

Everything she had tried had failed, so she asked the vigil participants to pray for her daughter. The mother went back inside.

It wasn’t long afterward that she came back out … along with her daughter and her daughter’s boyfriend. They quickly got in their car and drove away.

“Many thanks to all who were praying that morning and to all who will be praying during this campaign,” said the Charleston team member. “And many thanks to the Holy Spirit who hears our prayers and answers them!”

DAY 14: Abortions stop in Minnesota city

March 14, 2017

Great news from the 40 Days for Life team in Rochester, Minnesota — Planned Parenthood has quit doing RU-486 abortions there!

For more than six years, the Rochester facility offered “webcam” abortions – we’ve mentioned these abortions before. The client is interviewed over the internet by a physician in a distant location and then given the RU-486 pill regimen by remote control.

More than 320 of these abortions were done in Rochester.

“We are encouraged that the Lord has heard our many prayers and we are thankful that no more babies will die in this facility via RU-486,” said Paula Ellefson, the 40 Days for Life coordinator in Rochester. “It is directly across the street from one of our city’s high schools and it is typically very busy with students throughout the day.”

Twelve 40 Days for Life campaigns have been conducted there, along with numerous other pro-life events. Paula and her team will continue to pray that this Planned Parenthood will close down completely.

According to Pro-Life Action Ministries, which leads the 40 Days for Life vigils in St. Paul, webcam abortions began in Iowa and were also done in Maine and Minnesota. With the end of the program in Rochester, there are no more webcam abortions taking place in Minnesota.

Sue Thayer is the only former Planned Parenthood worker to lead a 40 Days for Life campaign outside of her former workplace. Her discomfort with webcam abortions in Iowa led to her departure … which she discusses in a 40 Days for Life podcast episode.

After Sue’s campaign, that Planned Parenthood location shut down!
