Planned Parenthood, the largest abortion chain in the
United States, does a staggering 330,000 abortions
EVERY year. The abortion giant does this with more
than $480 million in YOUR tax money.
The first 40 Days for Life campaign was held in front
of a Planned Parenthood in College Station, Texas — a
campaign that led to 28% drop in local abortion numbers.
It’s no wonder that the president of Planned Parenthood
labeled College Station as “the most anti-choice place
in America.”
During the current 40 Days for Life campaign, 150 of
the 316 locations are outside Planned Parenthood
facilities. Whether Planned Parenthood operates in
your community or not, keep praying! Those prayers
are making a difference.
Eileen in Spring Valley is encouraging prayer and
fasting for a Planned Parenthood-free community.
She’s already seeing signs that prayer is having a
direct impact. The local Planned Parenthood affiliate
has begun its “pledge-a-protester” program, asking
pro-abortion supporters to pledge money for each of
the “protesters” (that means the people like you
peacefully praying on the sidewalk).
The appeal is loaded with lies about vigil participants
and is nothing more than an attempt to keep the number
of prayer volunteers down. “Pledge-a-protester” is a
sure sign of desperation.
Eileen sent some photos of whats really going on in
Spring Valley. Theres one picture of Pastor Floyd
Nicholson of Grace Point Fellowship Church leading
prayer, as well as a photo of praying during the vigil.

Kathy in Columbia put it in very simple terms for
40 Days for Life prayer volunteers: “All of you are
invited! Babies and moms are saved when people pray
on the sidewalk!”
The Planned Parenthood facility in Columbia has had a
couple of “escorts” on duty most of the time, but they
spend more time just chatting than anything else.
During the last campaign, there was even a lone
pro-abortion protester showed up almost every day.
But this time, she’s only put in one appearance.
Kathy was encouraged by a new volunteer, a man who
lives about a block and a half from the vigil site.
He prayed for three hours a day and has promised to
be there as much as he can.
“God continues to bless us on the sidewalk and we
thank all of those who have been able to pray,”
she said.

The 40 Days for Life vigil in Fort Myers is also
taking place in the public right-of-way outside a
Planned Parenthood abortion center.
The campaign began with a procession from a nearby
church to the vigil location. About 250 people took
part, including Bishop Frank Dewayne of the local
Catholic diocese. The event got media coverage from
two TV stations — but as has been the case in other
cities, Planned Parenthood declined to be interviewed.
The procession passed the Community Pregnancy Clinic,
a pro-life outreach that moved to this location within
the past year to address the many abortions taking
place at Planned Parenthood.
“This is our second campaign,” said Paula in Fort
Myers, “and we are so blessed by more and more hands,
feet and hearts to help us along the way.”

FR was so slow last night — didn’t get this posted. My apologies. (I also had dental surgery yesterday and just decided to go to bed!)
