The Palmetto State Abortion Fund wanted to raise cash by portraying 40 Days for Life as "causing confusion, conflict, and harassment"...

...and THIS is the picture the organization decided to use? Is that really the best they can do?

As a matter of fact, that IS the best they can do.

This serene image of our 2022 40 Days for Life Leaders of the Year, Rachel and Suzanne, and their team peacefully praying in front of their local Planned Parenthood facility is exactly what 40 Days for Life vigils look like all around the world!

And it's exactly why 16 abortion-bound mothers have approached Rachel and Suzanne's team, received compassion and support, and chosen life in 2026!

Rachel and Suzanne have provided material assistance, friendship, and even cars to help these women start off motherhood on the right foot!

Maybe the abortion industry's fearmongering is good for fundraising.

But women seeking abortions aren't buying it. When they see you, they see hope--which is why abortion advocates are so eager to smear YOU.

Bring that hope to a woman contemplating the biggest mistake of her life by finding your local vigil and signing up to pray:

Wichita, Kansas

Planned Parenthood advocates held up large rainbow umbrellas to screen an abortion client from 40 Days for Life sidewalk counselors.

Prayer warriors didn't give up.

After entering Planned Parenthood, the pregnant woman returned to her car to discuss the impending abortion with her husband. Mai-Lan from the Wichita 40 Days for Life team walked past the car and waved--prompting a conversation.

"I need to talk to you," the expectant mom said, explaining that she had come from Texas because she only planned to have one child.

Suddenly, the first child popped up in the back seat of the vehicle, leading 40 Days for Life participant Don to burst into tears. After a moving and encouraging conversation, the couple decided to head back to Texas with their child safe in the womb!

"You just saved my baby's life," the father beamed. "We're going to keep this baby."


Fatima, Portugal

 

European 40 Days for Life leaders gathered in Fatima for a conference to bolster their campaigns.

And that's saying something. They are already operating at a very high level. With more than two dozen campaigns across Spain and one of the world's most fruitful 40 Days for Life vigils in Portugal, 40 Days for Life has exploded across the Iberian Peninsula. 

These vigils have saved hundreds of babies over the last decade--in spite of Spain having some of the most draconian anti-pro-life-speech laws on the planet. 

"A deeply inspiring conference, engaging some of the best European leaders," reflected 40 Days for Life director of international campaigns Robert Colquhoun.

But to you who hear I say, love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you.

Lord, you showed friendship to the sinners and outcasts. You have been merciful in offering friendship to me. I long for true friendship with you and a Christ-centered friendship with those who need me. Let me show your kindness to those who fight against the right to life. Let me be understanding of their misguided intentions and own experiences. Let me be a bridge over which people may cross to your truth, goodness, and love.
