DAY 14: Planned Parenthood is abortion

March 19, 2019

Planned Parenthood used to pretend its mission isn’t abortion.

But, unlike her predecessors, the new CEO is not very good at hiding what Planned Parenthood really is. In an interview, she said that abortion is its “core mission,” and we now see that on the sidewalks.

A young couple in Houston, Texas visited the largest abortion facility in the Western Hemisphere hoping for a prenatal checkup. Instead, the couple was given an abortion price list.

When these proud parents said they just wanted an ultrasound, they were told they’d need to wait three hours. “They are all messed up, up in there!” they told the sidewalk counselors, who were able to direct them to a FREE ultrasound on Houston’s pro-life mobile pregnancy center bus.

You don’t keep a 78,000 square foot abortionplex open without a price list.

An ultrasound bus versus a massive abortion facility is a true David and Goliath battle. But vigil participants in Houston are seeing God save lives every day!

Goma, Democratic Republic of Congo

“Abortion is not allowed by law,” said Paul, who leads the campaign in Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). “But we are witnessing many, many cases of abortions here locally.”

How is that possible? The country’s abortion ban has a “life-of-the-mother” exception. It’s a massive breach that medical professionals in DRC exploit to perform a LOT of abortions.

“When I was reading [the] data, I was tempted to think that in DR Congo, there is a higher rate of abortion cases than in some countries where abortion is allowed,” Paul said.

Lawndale, California

“All-in-all, great!” said Lawndale coordinator Laura. “We have about three new churches involved, so our volunteer list has grown by about 30-40 people, many new to this work.”

Laura’s outreach in Southern California has added a distinctly international flavor to her campaign. Among her new volunteers, “one is a retired fellow from Sri Lanka, and another is a grandmother from Peru.”

The Lawndale team has achieved 12 hours of on-site vigil presence daily. “The word is spreading about our efforts!”

Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamor, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice. And be kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ’s sake has forgiven you. — Ephesians 4:31-32

Dearest God, You tell us in Proverbs that the foolish and the wicked lack wisdom and understanding. I pray you will trouble the souls of those in the abortion industry so that they hunger for truth and cry out for freedom.

DAY 19: What women want

March 24, 2019

No one grows up wanting an abortion.

Abortion is a decision made out of fear, desperation, and sometimes coercion. That’s why volunteers in Jos, Nigeria hold signs reading “Real men don’t pressure women to abort” alongside their 40 Days for Life signs.

A 19-year-old woman approached the 40 Days for Life team there to ask for help. Her boyfriend wanted her to have an abortion…but she didn’t.

I promised her that I would help her,” said Maureen, the local leader. “She chose life. I’m going to get her registered in the hospital today so that she can attend antenatal clinic.”

When offered a choice–women choose life! On this week’s episode of The 40 Days for Life Podcast, we discuss a new survey that reveals what women want–instead of abortion. Click here to listen in:

It’s not just women being pressured over abortion. Western governments pressure entire continents to accept abortion.

Listen to a podcast rewind–“Aborting Africa” to learn what Maureen and other pro-lifers across the continent are up against: https://40daysforlife.com/2017/08/22/podcast-85/

Ventura, California

“Nothing has stopped Ryan and his fellow classmates from Thomas Aquinas College from coming out to pray at the local Planned Parenthood in Ventura,” said Ann, who volunteers with the local campaign.

“[Even] with their busy college schedules, they managed to cover eight hours consecutively to pray for the unborn and hand out pro-life literature.”

It sounds like Ryan and his friends would make great candidates for next year’s 4040 Scholarship: https://40daysforlife.com/scholarship/

Fullerton, Maryland

It was chilly on the sidewalks in Fullerton as 16 volunteers “huddled together” to stay warm. Their presence drew the attention of the media.

“We actually had a reporter interviewing us for a local magazine,” said Tina, who leads the Fullerton campaign.

The excitement continues as the campaign will host a youth rally at the abortion facility this week.

If I have despised the cause of my male or female servant when they complained against me, what then shall I do when God rises up? When He punishes, how shall I answer Him? Did not He who made me in the womb make them? Did not the same One fashion us in the womb? —Job 31:13-15

God, forgive us when we try to explain away the obligation we have to help others who need help. Enable us to not devalue them because they are in the circumstance that they are in, but to see them for what they are, those, who like us, were formed by your hand in their mother’s womb. Amen.
