On September 23 - November 1, 2009  our community will join communities around the world for the largest and longest coordinated pro-life mobilization in history -- the 40 Days for Life campaign. This will be our fourth campaign in Raleigh.

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 Raleigh and throughout America.

Taking 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 of a local abortion facility.

In Raleigh there are 3 abortion facilities located within 7 miles of each other. All of the facilities are open 6 days a week. Over 9546 abortions were performed in 2007  in Wake County.

This fall we will stand and pray outside the abortion facility from 7am-7pm beginning September 23 and ending at 7pm November 1st.at:

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

The vigil is always peaceful and prayerful. All participants agree 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 "A Woman's Choice of Raleigh" abortion clinic are located on the Vigil Schedule page.
