40 Days for Life is a global pro-life movement that runs campaigns during the fall and spring every year. During these campaigns, pro-life advocates counsel and pray outside abortion businesses with the goal of changing the minds of women seeking abortions. The organization says that this year's fall effort will cover 612 cities across the globe.
On Sept. 27, 40 Days for Life released an update stating that organizers reported 52 babies who were saved from abortion during the first five days of the campaign. This included one Cleveland mother who changed her mind about aborting triplets. The mother asked a sidewalk counselor named Fred, “Don’t you think that is too many at once?” Fred responded, “Not at all,” adding that triplets are a “wonderful… beautiful gift from God” and a blessing. The mother decided to keep her children, she and told Fred that she would name one of them after him.
40 Days for Life says that over 19,000 lives have been saved since the organization launched its first campaign in 2007.
