Anti-abortion activists across the globe have begun their semi-annual prayer demonstration known as 40 Days for Life, which will continue until March 29th. Participants in this campaign conduct quiet prayer sessions positioned outside abortion facilities in more than 650 communities throughout the United States and internationally, focusing their prayers on both unborn children and expectant mothers.
Campaign coordinators claim significant impact since launching the initiative in 2007. According to their records, over 26,000 women have chosen to continue their pregnancies after encountering the prayer vigils, while close to 300 employees at abortion facilities have left their positions. Additionally, organizers report that approximately 200 abortion clinics have shut down during this timeframe.
The organization conducts these prayer campaigns twice yearly, scheduling them during both spring and autumn seasons.
