Our 40-day prayer vigil takes place only on the sidewalk at 4697 Main Street, Bridgeport, CT and the Statement of Peace is required in order to participate. For parking when you come to the Vigil site, please park at Stop and Shop and make a short walk along the sidewalk to Commerce Park. You may also carpool, drop-off and pick-up your Prayer Buddies. At no time should anyone park in the lot at Commerce Park. It is private property. Our presence on the sidewalk sends a powerful message to the community. Planned Parenthood is located at the back of the Commerce Park office complex. Our permit of assembly from the City of Bridgeport allows us to pray on the sidewalk on Main Street only. Please allow passers-by to walk on the sidewalk and do not block anyone's path. Do not stand near the driveway and allow cars easy entry. We cannot approach the building itself because Commerce Park is Private Property. Always remain peaceful in accordance with the 40 Days for Life Statement of Peace.
Heavenly Father, thank you for the precious gift of life. Help us to cherish and protect this gift, even in the midst of fear, pain and suffering. Give us love for all people, especially the most vulnerable and help us to bear witness to the truth that every life is worth living. Amen.
Thank you for being a peaceful, prayerful witness to the sanctity of life and to offer hope and encouragement for the moms-to-be. Former abortion workers report that when you simply show up to pray, the no-show rate for abortion appointments goes as high as 75%! By signing up on our calendar and making a commitment to pray for an hour a week, you are helping abortion-minded women know that they are not alone, that there is help and there is hope. You never know how God can use your prayers and your presence can literally save a life. Under His guidance, we offer hope and provide resources so that expectant mothers may consider alternatives and choose life.
This Planned Parenthood does the Medical Abortion (two different pills, taken 2 days apart), does not do surgical abortions. That means that women can change their minds after the first pill! It is particularly important that we witness and pray for these women to choose life, since they can avail themselves of the abortion pill reversal option to save the baby, if they change their minds in time. The phone number for the Abortion Pill Reversal hotline is: 1-877-558-0333, and you can find more information at https://abortionpillreversal.com.
