pro-life advocates at a 40 Days for Life Vigil in Chicago |
40 Days for life holds multiple campaigns each year, during which pro-life advocates work to save the lives of unborn babies through prayer, fasting, and sidewalk counseling. On Nov. 24, the 40 Days for Life website showed that campaigns have saved 20,368 lives since they began in 2007. Additionally, 114 abortion centers had closed and 229 abortion workers have quit their jobs during the 40 Days for Life campaigns.
40 Days for Life President and CEO Shawn Carney commented on the accomplishment, saying, “We’re winning. […] We’re winning because Planned Parenthood in the last decade has closed 36% of their locations. We’ve seen over the last 25 years half of all abortion facilities close and go out of business.”
