YOU can help save lives!

This spring from February 25 - April 5, our community will be one of more than 120 cities in 41 states including four Canadian provinces – and Australia joining together for a coordinated pro-life mobilization -- the 40 Days for Life campaign.

The campaign dates of February 25 through April 5 coincide with the Christian season of Lent. “It’s a perfect match,” said spring campaign director Shawn Carney. “Lent is a season of prayer, fasting, repentance and renewal. It is our prayer that the efforts of the thousands of people who will participate in 40 Days for Life in their home towns will touch hearts and minds, save lives – and show that extreme pro-abortion policies do not resonate with the values of this nation.”

40 Days for Life is a focused pro-life effort that consists of:

We are praying that, with God's help, this groundbreaking effort will mark the beginning of the end of abortion in West Chester -- and throughout America.

Results of Past Campaigns

In the fall of 2007, the spring of 2008 and the fall of 2008, nationally coordinated 40 Days for Life campaigns mobilized people of faith and conscience in 204 cities across 49 states.  Results for our local campaign in West Chester:

• Three+ babies saved 
• One clinic worker quit her job
• The number of abortions has fallen
• Planned Parenthood's CEO has left
• A nurse refused a job at Planned Parenthood because she did not want to have to walk by people praying

Take a Stand for Life

While all aspects of 40 Days for Life are crucial in our effort to end abortion, the most visible component is the peaceful prayer vigil outside the local abortion (or Planned Parenthood) facility.
