Show Me the Money - Day 22 of the United 40 Days for Life Campaign

40 Days for Life

Planned Parenthood says it offers more than abortions -- but everything it does is geared towards recruiting potential abortion customers.

Pregnancy and STD testing, for instance, brings in clientele who could one day return. And 40 Days for Life offers an opportunity to meet those people and steer them in another direction.

Kathy in Columbia, Missouri tells of the young woman who arrived for an STD test -- which she thought was free.

It wasn't.

Since she had no money, Planned Parenthood simply sent her away.

Donna in Dover, Delaware had a similar conversation with a young man who assumed the STD tests at Planned Parenthood were free.

She also spoke to two women who wanted to have children, but didn't realize Planned Parenthood did abortions. They described the center as"creepy" and "evil."

Donna said, "I considered it a good day full of education -- and no abortion!"

         

40 Days for Life is a community-based campaign that takes a determined, peaceful approach to showing local communities the consequences of abortion in their own neighborhoods, for their own friends and families. It puts into action a desire to cooperate with God in the carrying out of His plan for the end of abortion. It draws attention to the evil of abortion through the use of a three-point program:

• Prayer and fasting
• Constant vigil
• Community outreach

The photos below show the former Planned Parenthood abortion center in Bryan/College Station, Texas — the site of the first-ever 40 Days for Life campaign back in 2004 ...

Three pictures of one building tell the story.

3. TODAY


… and now, that building will include:

• The new headquarters of the worldwide 40 Days for Life movement
• A lab and clinic for a local pregnancy center and
• Medical services provided by two former abortionists who had conversions and have become outspoken pro-life advocates

 This is the kind of story only God can write ... and yet it's not an isolated occurrence.

This is one of 60 abortion centers that have CLOSED when 40 Days for Life prayer vigils have been held outside their doors.

Could your city be next?

You can help make that happen by joining the 40 Days for Life Campaign that begins tomorrow, September 23, in 307 locations.

We just held the dedication ceremony at the new 40 Days for Life headquarters, and I spoke about the impact that local prayers and efforts can have on saving lives and ending abortion in any community.

Here's the 6-minute video of my comments. Click the image below to watch ...

As I share in that video, the solution to the global abortion crisis is LOCAL. That's why 40 Days for Life has seen these results:

• 650,000 volunteer participants in 579 cities across 30 nations 
• 10,331 lives saved from abortion 
• 118 workers who have had conversions and quit the abortion industry
• 60 closed abortion centers, including the one pictured above 

And, starting tomorrow, YOU can help expand these victories by joining the next 40 Days for Life Campaign.
