The 40 Days for Life team in Victoria faces a bit of an obstacle. Buffer zone laws require the vigil to be across a major intersection from the abortion facility, which is then tucked away among a group of stores.

Despite that restriction, Katharine said police officers came by to thank volunteers for being cooperative. “They have been supportive of the rights of the campaign,” she said, “and helped when they’ve had incidents of aggressive opposition.”

During the time Katharine was at the vigil, passersby were highly positive in their response.

Good news from the 40 Days for Life team in Mount Vernon – the number of abortion days at Planned Parenthood is decreasing.

Katharine asked for prayers for Cindy, the local coordinator. “She is a fantastic leader and has such a good sense of humor. She says if this Planned Parenthood shuts down, she’ll go on to the next one!”

Katharine also met a volunteer named Elaine, who stands and prays outside Planned Parenthood for two hours every day, “despite how much it hurts her back. She’s been spit on, but is not giving up!”
