Vigil Day One

40 Days for Life: Look beyond elections, focus on local impact written by David Bereit.

“With the defeat of pro-life ballot initiatives in Colorado and South Dakota, the election of an ardent abortion advocate for president, and an increase in the number of abortion proponents in the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives, pro-lifers may feel a sense of despair,” said David Bereit, national campaign director of 40 Days for Life.

“However," he said, "we have every reason to be optimistic about the profound pro-life shift that is beginning to take place below the radar.”

We are praying that, with God's help, this groundbreaking effort will mark the beginning of the end of abortion in Raleigh 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 component is the peaceful prayer vigil outside a local abortion facility.

In Raleigh there are 3 abortion clinics within 7 miles of each other. Over 9000 abortions are performed each year in Wake County.

In the Spring of 2008 we held our vigil at the NWHO abortuary on Six Forks Road. This fall we held our vigil at

A Woman's Choice of Raleigh
3305 Drake Circle, Raleigh, NC 27607

The vigil is always peaceful and prayerful. All participants agreed to abide by the "Statement of Peace" with a pledge that they will conduct themselves in a Christ-like manner.

Directions, parking information, and a map to the site of the Drake Circle abortion clinic are located on the Vigil schedule page.
