Dallas, Texas

The Dallas 40 Days for Life campaign has always had a high level of youth participation, often with entire schools coming out to the sidewalk to pray for an end to abortion.

The local leaders in Dallas offered “a big shout out” to the Highlands School for going out for an hour of prayer at the abortion facility that’s the site of the 40 Days for Life vigil.

There’s more good news from Dallas. On the first day of the campaign, volunteers met a woman who thanked them for being there – not only on that day, but on the day five years ago that she arrived for an abortion.

She saw people praying on the sidewalk … but still went inside the abortion center. But it was in the waiting room that God touched her heart and she decided to leave.

Today, she says that choosing life for her son was the best decision she’s ever made.

DAY 10: “40 Days for Life saved my baby”

Stories like today’s are why you pray!

Those words – “40 Days for Life saved my baby” – are at the top of a Facebook post … written by a young woman who had gone to Planned Parenthood in Waco, Texas for an abortion.

“When I got there,” she wrote, “I saw people standing and praying.” When she went inside, “I was told I had to pay for an ultrasound and I didn’t have any money.”

With that, the young woman left Planned Parenthood – in tears.

“That’s when a man on the sidewalk asked me to come talk to him and to pray,” she said. “He was so nice and introduced me to a nurse from Care Net. I didn’t have a ride and the nurse offered to take me to Care Net to get an ultrasound and to talk about my decision.”

That ultrasound was literally a life-saver. “When they did my ultrasound, my baby was dancing!” she said.

“I am so happy that I get to have my baby and build a life for us,” the young woman added. “Thank you to the people on the sidewalk in the 40 Days for Life shirts and signs. You saved my baby!”
