NYC-Bronx
HOME: Welcome to 40 Days for Life

You can help save lives!

This late winter/early spring, from February 22nd - April 1st, the pro-life community in New York City, known as the Abortion Capital of America, will join together with more than 301 cities in the United States, Canada, Europe and Australia for the largest and longest coordinated pro-life mobilization in history -- the 40 Days for Life campaign.

We will have one full time (6 days/week) major site, Dr. Emily's Abortion Clinic, along with a secondary site, Planned Parenthood Federation of America (three days/week).

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

  • 40 days of prayer and fasting
  • 40 days of peaceful vigil
  • 40 days of community outreach

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

Take a stand for life

While all aspects of 40 Days for Life are crucial in our effort to end abortion, the most visible components are the peaceful and prayerful vigils which EMC FrontLine Pregnancy Centers and our partners will conduct. You can help make a life-saving impact by joining either of our vigil locations!

We will be praying outside the LARGEST abortion facility in the Bronx, in the county with the HIGHEST abortion rate in the U.S. - at 48%!

THE PRIMARY BRONX LOCATION: Dr. Emily Woman's Health Center

The front entrance is located at 560 Southern Blvd, just north of East 149th Street. The rear entrance is inside Dr. Emily's 15-car parking lot on Timpson Place, but we stay on the sidewalk alongside the fence, and NEVER go inside the parking lot.

BY SUBWAY: take the #6 subway train and get off at the 149th St. stop

BY CAR: From the north Bronx, or Westchester, travel Southbound. Take the 138th St. southbound exit off the Bruckner Expwy, and then take your first right turn at Jesus Stereo place, and go north on Southern Blvd. From Manhattan or West Bronx: Proceed eastbound across 149th street.

SECONDARY MANHATTAN LOCATION: Planned Parenthood Federation of America
Address: 434 W. 33rd Street, near Penn Station
