- CLOSING FOR 40 DAYS
America is at a crossroads and the second half of 2017 provides an unprecedented opportunity to accelerate the end of abortion. Many good people are still not aware of the plight of the unborn and the impact abortion has on our county.

A groundbreaking documentary, 3801 Lancaster Avenue, An American Tragedy, about the landmark Kermit Gosnell case. The movie features exclusive interviews with Gosnell, and it exposes one of the most controversial cases of the decade and the cover-up by state and local oversight agencies.

The director of the Office for Life and Family, Steve Bozza, of the Archdiocese of Philadelphia has invited both Shawn Carney, President of 40 Days for Life, and Kristan Hawkins, President of Students for Life, to be the guest speakers for the Archdiocese Annual "WALK FOR LIFE".
What a fantastic opportunity for us and the unborn in Pa to have these two speakers available to begin our 40 Days with them and other 40 Days Campaigns in the area.

MIDWAY EVENT
On Saturday Oct 7th from 10 AM to 2 PM, Chester County's 40 Days will sponsor their annual baby shower in front of PP. All baby items are welcomed, new an used clothing up to size 4. Large diapers sizes 4& 5 are always in needed.
We walk with strollers in front of PP hopefully filling them with your donated items. Alway, always the more people in font of PP, the less likely children will die.
If you are unable to join us and are helping by collecting items within your family and friends circles, church or organization, I will be glad to pick up the items collected anytime. 484-832-2746 no deadline. Dollar store items are alway in need also. This is a positive way to help young children become involved in a Pro-Life activity as everyone likes shopping for babies.
The donation are shared with CCWS in West Chester and the Birthrights in West Chester and Coatesville.
CLOSING FOR 40 DAYS
On August 6th, 1996, the Planned Parenthood in West Chester joined in the killing of unborn children in America. Over 21,000 children have been added from West Chester to the nearly 60 million children that have been lost. To remind the community of their part in this tragedy, we will again walk in silent prayer behind a banner explaining our actions.
PLEASE come and help by carrying a cross.
We will conclude with a light luncheon at the Knights of Columbus Hall, 110 W. Market St.
Because all of us have families to interact with and share our perils of wisdom, Chester County Women's Center will share a short presentation, Sex Risk Avoidance. It is an evidence based abstinence curriculum to be introduced to 6 graders and up. Education makes us more comfortable in sharing our beliefs when the opportunity arises.
GOD BLESS YOU ALL FOR ALL THAT YOU DO FOR THE UNBORN AND THEIR MOTHERS AND KEEPING 40 DAYS VIABLE IN WEST CHESTER.
