Please pray in front of the building but stay on the sidewalk and public areas. Do not enter the premises or private land.
PARKING: Park on the street and walk to site.
Do not park in the Planned Parenthood parking lot.
Between Ash Wednesday, February 18, 2026 through Palm Sunday, March 29, 2026, please sign up to pray on the sidewalk. Our goal is to have two people praying on the sidewalk in front of this Planned Parenthood every hour from 7am through 7pm Monday-Saturday. 40 Days For Life knows from prior abortion facility workers who have left the industry that when people are praying on the sidewalk outside the facility upwards of 75% of abortion appointments may be cancelled.
When appointments are cancelled, we pray that this is a baby saved from abortion. To date, 26,000 babies have been saved worldwide from our prayerful and fasting efforts outside these abortion facilities. Oftentimes, you will not see the fruits of your prayers and sacrifice but we have testimonies of women who saw us praying and that was the sign they needed to keep their babies. Our prayers soften hearts and change communities for the better.
We pray for the workers in these facilities, that they will experience conversion and choose to leave this business. We pray for lives to be spared - for the babies who are at risk, and for their mothers and fathers, who will experience a lifetime of regret, in need of wisdom and help at this juncture. There are resources that you can print on the right of this page...see "Pro Life Resource Guide North County." You may provide this resource to any person who approaches you asking for free pregnancy and women's health resources.
When you sign up for hours to pray, you will be prompted to sign a "Statement of Peace" which has peaceful guidelines for your time spent with God on the sidewalk. For example, one of the guidelines is to not block the sidewalk but to always leave a right of way for pedestrians. Additionally, we need to keep a peaceful and non-confrontational demeanor. This is a prayerful event, not a "protest" (although we do protest what is happening inside the building).
We encourage 40 Days For Life volunteers to wear 40 Days For Life t shirts and/or hats and hold 40 Days For Life signs so that you and your prayerful purpose are obvious to visitors. Please, don't bring signs or shirts that divide people or scare them - remember, we have all fallen short of the glory of God. The women coming to Planned Parenthood need our help; try to ATTRACT by our prayerful presence and kindness all who arrive there in the hopes of changing their heart: by word, deed, presence and the Holy Spirit. If we focus on supporting the women and letting them know we are there to help, you might be the one who helps save a baby. God bless you and I hope to see you there!
