"40 Days for Life". Start of abortion

Nearly 25,000 born children, 155 closed abortion facilities and 263 abortion workers who abandoned abortion were the fruits of the 40 Days for Life campaign. The prayer initiative launched in the United States inspires more and more life defenders in various countries of the world.

– There's absolutely nothing more touching than the sight of the parent you helped, the parent holding the baby, the small girl or the boy that lives, and it was so close to joining the 56 million children that you got aborted all year. said Shawn Carney, the initiator of the run “40 Days for Life.” As estimated by its organizers, 24,000 915 children worldwide have been saved from abortion since 2007. This year, more than a 1000 cities from 66 countries joined the 40 Days for Life campaign, which began on September 25 and ended on November 3.

The 40 Days for Life initiative was launched in 2004 in the United States. Its main thought is simply a 40-day intensive regular prayer for ending the killing of children in abortion. Volunteers who most frequently gather in front of abortion facilities are praying not only to children in the prenatal phase of development, which is threatened with death, but besides to their mothers, families and medical staff of abortion centres. Prayer meetings are besides held in parish communities and homes.

The event is accompanied by information campaigns on the possibilities for women to get aid in an unexpected or hard pregnancy. Mothers can learn about aid centers that offer women comprehensive support: psychological, medical, financial, residential or spiritual, or contact their parent with the adoption centre if she cannot take care of the child. This is peculiarly valuable, especially erstwhile a pregnant female cannot number on the support of her child’s father or loved ones.

Volunteers “40 Days for Life” study action on the website https://www.40daysforlife.com/en/, and on social media they share touching testimonies.

Abortion – the top genocide

It is worth noting that the defenders of life from the United States, where abortion took a large toll of death for decades, gathered years ago in front of abortion facilities. Individually or in groups, sometimes holding banners resembling the value of life, they paid attention to the beauty of life and prayed. Seeing pregnant women enter the facility, they attempted to talk to them and pointed out alternatives to abortion. Many mothers changed their minds, gave birth to children, and gave them a chance to have a happy life.

Often these young people, who have learned the past of their endurance from death in abortion, engage in life defence and give a beautiful witness. 1 of them is Emilly. – My birth parent left the clinic and chose life. 60 million [woman-red.] didn't go away. I march for them – wrote Emily Kirby, a student at Samford University.

The defenders of life who persisted in prayer before abortion centers did not offend offensive comments and cries of abortion supporters. They are not prevented by restrictions and prohibitions of prayer before institutions or even threats of administrative penalties, including detention. Volunteers see extraordinary fruits of common prayer.

One of them is undoubtedly the transformation of Abby Johnson, the erstwhile manager of 1 of the planned parenthood abortion centers in the United States. Johnson, who had aborted 2 of her children, was besides liable for over 22,000 abortions. Today, an American woman, parent of 8 children, actively engages in life defence and talks about abortion drama.

More than 70 million children per year are affected by this drama. specified data was presented by the planet wellness Organization. In 2023 alone, abortion brought over 73 million victims and for any time has been the main origin of death. It is worth noting that 10 million people die of cancer each year, 2 million people leave due to HIV/AIDS, and another diseases origin another 17 million deaths.

Organizers and volunteers of the “40 Days for Life” initiative around the planet are convinced that fervent prayer and a helpful hand drawn to pregnant women can end the cruelty of abortion. Prayer, as run volunteers say, brings together more and more people in the planet and can become the beginning of an abortion.
