Welcome to 40 Days for Life: September 26

As we enter the final three days of this 40 Days for
Life campaign ... I have one question:

Have you prayed at a peaceful vigil yet?

If you haven’t gone to pray outside an abortion
facility ... do not think it is too late. With
three days left, NOW is the time to take a leap of
faith and join the thousands who have participated.

Check the list of 316 locations, find the one nearest
you ... and help make a difference:

As we head into the closing weekend, please pray for
the 40 Days for Life local leaders who have invested
so much time and energy over the past few months to
make these local efforts possible.

KITCHENER, ONTARIO

“Let us finish strongly!” said one of the Kitchener
volunteers. “Hurricane Sandy will not dissuade us from
giving a voice to the pre-born!” Yes, this massive
storm’s impact was even felt in Canada earlier this
week ... and we continue to pray for all of those
who’ve been impacted by wind, rain, flood and snow.

“Kitchener is not the typical site,” this local
campaign leader said, “as we have very little
interaction with the public.” The vigil is conducted
on the roadside, outside the hospital property where
abortions take place.

Still, the Kitchener team understands that the
volunteers are part of an international campaign that
will see hundreds of babies saved — and hundreds of
mothers spared the anguish of abortion.

KENMORE, WASHINGTON

Chaplain Pete, the local coordinator, visited Kenmore
Community Church, which will be the location of the
campaign’s closing event. The pastor introduced him
to the congregation, and said he’d be available after
the service if people wanted to find out more about
40 Days for Life.

“A grandma introduced herself and her daughter,
telling me their Planned Parenthood story,” he said.

Five years ago, the daughter — described as a
“rebellious teen” — suspected she was pregnant. Her
mother took her to Planned Parenthood for a pregnancy
test. When they arrived, Planned Parenthood said the
cost would be $50 — cash.

They didn’t have the $50, so they went to the
pro-life pregnancy help center next door, where the
test was free.

“They were treated with kindness and care,” said
Chaplain Pete. “Needless to say, no abortion took
place.” Now, he’s looking forward to a chance to meet
this child, “and invite three generations to join us
in our celebration of life event. I can hardly wait!”

DOWNEY, CALIFORNIA

“The Lord has blessed us with many babies saved at
the Family Planning Associates abortion center,” said
Patti in Downey, “with Sunday being the most ever with
four changes of heart!”

Three of the mothers who changed their minds did so
after an angry employee stormed out of the building —
four different times — to yell at vigil participants
to “get away from here and stop judging people.”

She then called police, who arrived and went inside
to talk. “It all worked for the good,” Patti said,
“and we learned to be in prayer and stay calm in the
face of harsh anger.”

The 40 Days for Life campaign is making a huge
difference “because so many people driving and
walking by tell us they never knew there was an
abortion clinic there,” she said. “May the Lord be
glorified in the closing of this blight of a business
in our city ... in His perfect time.”

Day 39 - November 3

Intention:

Pray that volunteers will replace exhaustion or discouragement with rejoicing over the miracles we have seen thus far, and enthusiastic service as God takes us on to victory!

Scripture:

In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while, if need be, you have been grieved by various trials, that the genuineness of your faith, being much more precious than gold that perishes, though it is tested by fire, may be found to praise, honor, and glory at the revelation of Jesus Christ.

-- 1 Peter 1:6-7

Reflection:

We have reason to rejoice when we consider the many babies whose lives have been saved during the 40 Days for Life campaign. Add to those lives, the women and men who have been spared from a devastating decision and now have opportunity to make a plan for their baby that is both life affirming and God honoring.

Whether directly, or indirectly, you have contributed to these testimonies of praise with your sacrificial service. Perhaps you have been grieved by various trials during your commitment to 40 days. The attacks of the enemy come in many forms -- difficulties in relationships, finances, health. Or maybe you are physically and mentally exhausted and have been marking off the days on your calendar, eagerly waiting for Day 40.

Consider these trials in light of God's plan for you. The Apostle Paul understood the big picture when he said in Romans 8:18, "For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us." This is our Hope and our victory. Let us rejoice in the opportunity to give that Hope to others in our path.

Prayer:

Dear Heavenly Father, We sing to You a new song, for You have done marvelous things. Forgive us when we allow circumstances to defeat us. You give power to the faint and You increase strength in those who have no might. We rest in You dear Lord, and ask You to empower us again for Your service as You work out Your plan for us and through us. May You receive glory through our victory in Christ, in whose name we pray, amen.

These "ultrasound saves stories" bring tears to my eyes.

DAY 38: Finishing strong

DAY 39: Ask to see the ultrasound

November 2nd, 2012 by admin

Two nights ago, I spoke at a banquet for a pregnancy center that has two ultrasound machines and staff members who can offer women free ultrasounds.

When a mother sees that her baby is a human being and not a “blob of tissue” — and when she can hear the heartbeat — it can save lives. In fact, as many as 90% of women who see their baby on an ultrasound choose life!

In other cases, ultrasounds have changed the hearts of abortion workers, some of whom have even witnessed abortions on ultrasound monitors — that’s what happened with former Planned Parenthood clinic director Abby Johnson.

Thanks to generous national programs from Focus on the Family and the Knights of Columbus, along with the training and legal expertise of NIFLA — the National Institute of Family and Life Advocates — more and more ultrasound machines are being placed at pregnancy help centers. As a result, more and more lives are being saved.

Here are some stories where ultrasound made a difference …

—————————————————–
SOUTHFIELD, MICHIGAN
—————————————————–

A woman visited the pregnancy help center just down the street from the 40 Days for Life vigil – after “a nice man” praying at the abortion center gave her a coupon for a free ultrasound.

She said she had gone into the abortion facility and planned to have an abortion. They did an ultrasound first – and she asked to see the screen. “Is that my baby’s head?” she asked. She was told, “Yes, but it’s just a blob.”

They started the procedure, but it was painful for her and she made them stop. They let her off the table so she could calm down a bit before trying again. But once off the table, she had made up her mind not to go through with it.

A few days later, she showed up at the pregnancy center. She and the ultrasound tech watched as the baby seemed to wave, jump and turn. They listened to the baby’s heartbeat … and tears of joy fell from her eyes. She was so happy to have this precious child safe and secure.

—————————————————–
BAKERSFIELD, CALIFORNIA
—————————————————–

A woman had made the long drive from another county for an abortion appointment. She was one of the first to arrive that day, walking past the vigil participants and into the building.

As she was leaving, the volunteers noted that she might have been inside long enough for the abortion. They also noted that she was crying, so one of them asked her, “Is there anything I can do to help?”

“I couldn’t do it,” the woman said. “They were doing an ultrasound, so I asked if I could see it. At first they refused, telling me ‘you don’t really want to see it.’ But I insisted ‘yeah, I do want to see it, because if I can see it … maybe I won’t do it.’”

She was right. Once she saw her nine week baby on the ultrasound screen, she knew that she couldn’t go through with the abortion.

—————————————————–
ALEXANDRIA, VIRGINIA
—————————————————–

A young woman took one of the leaflets a prayer volunteer offered her. She looked at one of the vigil participants’ signs – “Women deserve better than abortion. Talk to us. We can help” – and asked about the help that was available.

She was pregnant. Her boyfriend had left her. If the people she was living with found out she was pregnant, they would kick her out. She was scared.

The woman eventually said she would visit the pregnancy help center, but she was going ahead with her appointment at the abortion facility.

When she came back out, she told another volunteer that they wouldn’t do the abortion because she had eaten breakfast that morning. They also did an ultrasound – and gave her the picture.

The volunteer said, “You know that this is a baby, don’t you?” and the woman said yes, and assured the volunteer she would call the pregnancy help center. “We are so hopeful that this little baby will be saved,” said the vigil participant.

—————————————————–
WISCONSIN
—————————————————–

David Bereit, our national director, continues to criss-cross the country, visiting 40 Days for Life campaigns. On a recent trip to Wisconsin, he joined more than 100 prayer volunteers in La Crosse, where the 40 Days for Life vigil is being held across the street from a Lutheran hospital that, regrettably, performs abortions.

The next day, he traveled three hours through the pouring rain to central Wisconsin for an event that brought together leaders and volunteers from the Stevens Point, Wausau and Mauston campaigns.

—————————————————–
VIRGINIA
—————————————————–

Next, he visited several campaigns across Virginia. In Charlottesville, dozens of faithful people prayed and sang at a rally which encouraged participants to press on throughout the rest of the campaign.

Then it was on to Roanoke, right below the Blue Ridge Mountains, where a crowd was gathered in peaceful vigil outside the local Planned Parenthood abortion center.

After praying with the attendees and sharing reports of lifesaving victories from around the world, David drove to Lynchburg, where he spoke to a group of Liberty University students about how they are a generation of survivors (one-third of their generation has been aborted) and how they are key to ending the injustice of abortion.

Then David continued on to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania to continue sharing the good news about how prayer and fasting, peaceful vigil, and community outreach are saving lives from abortion all around the world … before he headed on to the next city.

Ultra sound is a miracle in itself. Praise God!

Day 40 - November 4

Intention:

Let us keep our eyes fixed on the New Jerusalem, where death will be no more.

Scripture:

He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away." He who was seated on the throne said, "I am making everything new!"

--Revelation 21:4-5

Reflection:

Every activity we undertake in defense of the sanctity of life is prophetic, inasmuch as it points to the day when "death will be no more." Every victory we have when an act of abortion is prevented is prophetic of that day when death itself will be definitively conquered. Every triumph of grace in this world, whereby someone is brought to see the value of life and given the strength to welcome it, is a breaking into our history of that definitive future in which the old order of things will have passed, and all things will be made new.

As pro-life warriors, we must keep our eyes fixed on heaven, and our hearts secure in the hope that the day is coming when all evil will be conquered. It is the future that shapes the present; it is victory that informs the battle; it is the destination that determines the journey.

Daily, we are called to reflect on heaven. When we weep, we are to think of the day when every tear will be wiped away. When we face the destructive power of death, we are to think of the day when death is swallowed up in victory. When we labor against abortion, we are to think of the day when we will have the rest and peace of the final triumph of life. Heaven is as real as earth, and its joys will be as real as our present sorrows.

Prayer:

Father, you are the God of hope. Your word fills us with the vision of the world to come, when every tear will be wiped away, and death will be no more. Father, how we need that hope, how we are strengthened by that vision! Keep our hearts focused on heaven, and diligent in the labors of earth. As we struggle against the culture of death, root our souls in the assurance of victory. We pray through Christ our Lord. Amen.

Fr. Frank Pavone
National Director, Priests for Life and President, National Pro-life Religious Council

It’s Day 40 — you made it!

As we close the largest 40 Days for Life campaign in history … the following things can be said about what God can do in just 40 days:

40 days ago …
… there were children scheduled to be aborted who are alive today.

40 days ago …
… women were making abortion appointments — but now, they’re preparing their lives to welcome a new baby boy or baby girl.

40 days ago …
… cold hearts that were annoyed at your peaceful presence at the abortion facility are now open to joining you in prayer.

40 days ago …
… you may have doubted what God could accomplish; and yet through your prayer, fasting and vigil … YOU have been spiritually blessed.

—————————————————–
NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE
—————————————————–

Gordon in Nashville tells of an abortion-minded woman who arrived at the abortion center – with two young children. Fortunately, the business was closed that day – so prayer volunteers encouraged her to visit the pregnancy help center just down the street.

“They gave her very different information than she got from her other doctor,” he said, “and she changed her mind.”

Saturdays are usually very busy at this abortion facility. But one Saturday during this 40 Days for Life campaign, only about half of the usual number of clients arrived.

“One of them, a young college student, entered the clinic and exited a short while later,” Gordon said. “She talked with one of the sidewalk counselors afterwards and stated that she could not go through with an abortion.”

—————————————————–
BALTIMORE, MARYLAND
—————————————————–

A woman approached the prayer volunteers outside the abortion center in Baltimore to express appreciation. She had had an abortion at that very building many years ago when she was a teenager.

But she thinks about the child she aborted every day of her life — and it was very painful for her to be there. She understood that God had forgiven her – but the prayer volunteers sensed that she had never forgiven herself.

They prayed with her … and gave her information about Rachel’s Vineyard, a ministry that leads retreats for healing after abortion.

—————————————————–
SIOUX CITY, IOWA
—————————————————–

Prayer volunteers got good news from a woman leaving Planned Parenthood – she was pregnant … and she was keeping the baby.

Planned Parenthood’s business has been off – and they must think the 40 Days for Life vigil has something to do with it. They recently built a big fence between their building and the parking lot of the pro-life pregnancy center next door.

“Counselors often stood in the parking lot to talk to women going into Planned Parenthood,” said one of the leaders in Sioux City. “I guess we’re getting to them!”

—————————————————–
BEAUMONT, TEXAS
—————————————————–

A young woman from out of town arrived at the abortion center in Beaumont – with her father, who was totally opposed to the idea of an abortion. “Would you please talk some sense into her?” he asked prayer volunteers, who had never quite heard anything like that before.

The girl was pregnant and had insisted that he drive her to the abortion facility … but a short discussion with volunteers showed that by this point, even the man’s daughter was well on her way to seeking an option that did not include abortion.

“When I called the clinic, they were just too eager for me,” the girl said. “I was leery – it was like a bunch of hungry lions. I felt so much evil over the phone.”

The prayer volunteers recommended a pro-life pregnancy help center in her home town, and she agreed to visit them. Father and daughter left happy, with new-found freedom, after following the voice of conscience.

PS: What is the greatest blessing you have received during this 40 Days for Life campaign? Please leave your response below.

Day 41 - November 5

Intention:

Pray that the witness of 40 Days for Life bears abundant fruit, and that we begin again each day to storm the gates of hell until God welcomes us into the gates of heaven.

Scripture:

On this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell will not prevail against it.

-- Matthew 16:18

Reflection:

When we read this verse, we usually think that the Lord is promising that the church, which is His Body, will withstand all the attacks launched against it. Of course, that is true. But when we think about it more carefully, we realize that in a battle, the gates do not run out into the battlefield to attack the enemy. Rather, they stand still to defend the city from the enemy attacking it. So when the Lord says that the gates of hell will not prevail against the church, who is doing the attacking? It is the church storming the gates!

The church, all of God's people in Christ, is called to take the offensive, to run into enemy territory, and to gain ground for Jesus Christ. We do not wait for an invitation; we already have a command. We prepare, but we do not wait for circumstances to be perfect; we already have one who has gone before us.

During these 40 days, we have stormed the gates. We have taken the offensive. We have pushed forward the boundaries of the kingdom. And we must keep doing so, in numerous ways. Indeed, the gates of hell will not prevail. The gates of falsehood will flee in the presence of truth. The gates of sin will melt in the presence of grace. The gates of death will fall in the presence of the church, the People of Life!

Prayer:

Father, we praise you. We have heard the voice of your Son, and therefore we can make our voices heard. We have done battle with the power of evil, and therefore we can have compassion on those still within its grip. We have been freed from the kingdom of darkness, and therefore we can bear witness to your Kingdom of Light. May the witness of all your people through these 40 Days for Life bear abundant fruit, and may we begin again each day to storm the gates of hell until You welcome us into the gates of heaven. We pray in the victorious name of Jesus Christ our Lord, amen.

Fr. Frank Pavone
National Director, Priests for Life and President, National Pro-life Religious Council

At the end of this record-breaking 40 Days for Life
campaign, we praise God for ...

... 608 babies saved from abortion -- that we know of!

(Many campaigns are still compiling their reports, so
that number will likely keep growing.)

While it's important to take a deep breath and recharge
our batteries after 40 days of prayer and hard work, if
you're in the United States, there's something vitally
important you still MUST do.

Tuesday, November 6 is election day. Voting is not only
a civil responsibility but also a part of our Christian
witness. Christ calls us to proclaim the gospel ... and
that call extends to our witness in the voting booth.

It is NOT an accident that record numbers of people have
been praying and fasting for the cause of life in the
lead-up to our most important election in decades.

Make a commitment today to:

* PRAY ... for our country, the candidates, your fellow
voters -- since everything depends on God -- and vote
as if everything depends on you. Let's especially storm
heaven today with the prayer Jesus taught us:

    Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name.
    Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth as it is
    in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and
    forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who
    trespass against us, and lead us not into temptation,
    but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom,
    and the power, and the glory, for ever and ever. Amen.

* DISCERN ... which candidates will most respect the
fundamental right to life of all persons, and vote
accordingly. While there may not be a "perfect"
candidate on the ballot, those who choose not to vote
are passing up a critical opportunity to speak up for
those who cannot speak for themselves -- innocent
children in the womb.

* VOTE ... and encourage every other pro-life person you
know to join you in voting for life.

This is a crucial election that will determine the fate
of millions of pre-born children ... as well as the
environment we will be conducing our pro-life work in
during the next four years.

If for any reason you're unable to make it to the polls
tomorrow, there may still be time to cast an early vote
or an absentee ballot TODAY!

Let's pull out all the stops NOW to ensure that we don't
wake up Wednesday morning wishing we had done more.

This 40 Days for Life campaign has continued to build a
foundation for ending abortion in America -- and around
the world ...

* Record numbers of people are joining the pro-life
ranks -- including many young people.

* Business is down at many abortion facilities.

* Workers continue to quit the abortion industry.

* And lives continue to be saved ... thanks to YOU!
Your prayers and participation make a difference.

Now ... we MUST continue pressing forward -- with
relentless energy!

On that note, I ask you to mark your calendar for the
evening of next MONDAY, NOVEMBER 12. Save that date.

We'll have more good news about the campaign that just
ended -- and more GREAT news about what's coming next!

Take the survey!

On Tuesday night, it was tough watching the election
returns ... and even harder to swallow the devastating
implications for innocent unborn children.

Yesterday, I got up after a long, restless night, and
helped to get my four small children ready for the day
... nervous about the world they’ll grow up in.

Today, like you, I feel frustrated. But there isn’t
time to complain. It’s time for a gut check.

Our culture is a mess. It didn’t happen overnight, and
it won’t be fixed overnight. But we have a choice. We
can mope and cast blame — or we can look in the
mirror and use this opportunity to fall to our knees
in prayer, trust God ... and get back to working HARD.

Our team is committed to do just that — and I need
your help to chart the course onward.

It is vital that we identify our MOST IMPORTANT areas
of focus over the coming months. With your help, we
must prioritize and unify our efforts where we can make
the most profound, lifesaving impact — even in the
midst of an increasingly hostile political climate.

Your input is needed to shape these crucial NEXT STEPS!

Please take 90 seconds to fill out this survey:

https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/M73SG5D

On Monday, November 12, we’ll release the results of
the survey and let you know how together — with God’s
help — we will march ONWARD to overcome the challenges
we face ... until life ultimately prevails over death.

It’s a very simple survey, and your guidance will help
to shape the future of our unified efforts.

Thank you for sharing your insights!

In Christ,

Shawn Carney
Campaign Director
40 Days for Life

Since sending the short survey yesterday, more than
4,500 people have already responded and helped identify
where to prioritize our unified efforts over the coming
weeks to make the most profound, life-saving impact.

The feedback has been incredible! (If you didn’t get to
answer the short survey yet, there’s still time — just
go to: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/M73SG5D )

As you know, following this week’s U.S. elections, there
has never been a more crucial time for the pro-life
movement to be united in focus and direction ...

... and now it’s time for us to reveal how — together
— we have an unprecedented opportunity to press ONWARD
and overcome the election setbacks and save more lives
than EVER BEFORE:

Does anyone know which PP clinic shut down?

You’ll definitely want to attend tonight’s ONWARD
teleconference and web simulcast (participation details
below) to learn about the latest Planned Parenthood
abortion center that just CLOSED its doors and went
out of business on Friday ... a mere five days after a
40 Days for Life campaign wrapped up outside its doors!

This makes the 25th abortion center to shut down
following a 40 Days for Life campaign. Last week’s
disappointing election results are clearly NOT stopping
life-saving victories at the local level! NOW is the
time to press ONWARD!

Paula Matchen, the leader of a regional pro-life
organization, was quoted in the news coverage about
the closing: “I want everyone to know that 40 Days for
Life was the first organization that stood out there,
and they were the organization ... that brought down
Planned Parenthood” in this location.

Paula has agreed to speak on tonight’s teleconference
to share the specific factors that contributed to the
Planned Parenthood closure — details which provide a
blueprint for other communities wanting to achieve the
same outcome.

During tonight’s event, you’ll also hear from former
Planned Parenthood director Abby Johnson about how to
strip the abortion chain of its $487.4 MILLION in
taxpayer funding ... and you’ll discover our movement’s
bold next steps — based on input from more than 6,000
surveys — to save more lives than ever before.

You won’t want to miss this one-time-only event!

Tonight’s teleconference / webcast is the GOOD NEWS
we all need after the US election results last week.
There IS reason for hope in what God is doing locally.
Join us tonight and hear for yourself!

Now for the exciting news ...

If you listened to the ONWARD webcast and teleconference
from Monday evening, you heard about the many wonderful
victories God provided in response to your prayers
during 40 Days for Life.

In addition to the 789 lives confirmed saved during this
fall's campaign -- and one Planned Parenthood abortion
center CLOSED DOWN -- we also saw six workers leave the
abortion industry ... three of them during the final
days of the campaign.

On the webcast, former Planned Parenthood abortion
center director Abby Johnson reported the impact this
is having on the nation's largest abortion chain:

"Planned Parenthood is terrified of all of these
   workers who are leaving. We know just from the
   workers that have left there is definitely a
   heightened sense of paranoia inside the abortion
   clinics. They don't feel like they can trust any of
   their workers. You know what? They can't. Because
   it's a constant fear, oh gosh, are they talking to
   people with 40 Days for Life?"

Abby explained that many of the quitting workers turn
around and take action to overcome the injustices and
corruption they witnessed inside the abortion industry:

"Currently there are four pending lawsuits out against
   Planned Parenthood that would total billions and
   billions of dollars that these affiliates would be
   required to pay back to federal and state government.
   Because all of these cases, one thing that we have in
   common is that we are all accusing Planned Parenthood
   of Medicaid fraud ... there are huge implications if
   these lawsuits are successful."

One BIG encouragement that Abby shared about 40 Days for
Life efforts:

"I remember the last Planned Parenthood conference
   that I went to before I quit. We were actually
   talking about the 40 Days for Life. Planned
   Parenthood was saying that their no-show rates go
   up as high as 75% when people are simply standing
   and praying outside of abortion clinics."

A 75% abortion no-show rate ... WOW.

Bottom line: God is making a profound, life-saving
difference ... through YOU!

I am humbled and pleased by this good news.
Praise God and His wonderful, worthy volunteers for LIFE!

clinics. They don’t feel like they can trust any of
their workers. You know what? They can’t. Because
it’s a constant fear, oh gosh, are they talking to
people with 40 Days for Life?”

Abby explained that many of the quitting workers turn
around and take action to overcome the injustices and
corruption they witnessed inside the abortion industry:

“Currently there are four pending lawsuits out against
Planned Parenthood that would total billions and
billions of dollars that these affiliates would be
required to pay back to federal and state government.
Because all of these cases, one thing that we have in
common is that we are all accusing Planned Parenthood
of Medicaid fraud ... there are huge implications if
these lawsuits are successful.”

One BIG encouragement that Abby shared about 40 Days for
Life efforts:

“I remember the last Planned Parenthood conference
that I went to before I quit. We were actually
talking about the 40 Days for Life. Planned
Parenthood was saying that their no-show rates go
up as high as 75% when people are simply standing
and praying outside of abortion clinics.”

A 75% abortion no-show rate ... WOW.

Bottom line: God is making a profound, life-saving
difference ... through YOU!
