DID YOU KNOW By Calvin Freiburger, April 16, 2019, LifeSiteNews 40 Days for Life s current initiative has only been going on for a little over a month, yet the pro-life effort has already saved hundreds of unborn lives from abortion. Timed to coincide with Lent, the latest 40 Days campaign began on March 6 in 377 cities across the United States, United Kingdom, and 29 other countries around the world. Volunteers have been stationed outside abortion facilities for 12 hours a day to conduct prayer vigils and offer sidewalk counseling to women considering abortion. The whole point of this is to take a positive and upbeat prolife message to the whole community, Robert Colquhoun, 40 Days Director of International Campaigns, told LifeSiteNews last month. It is simple, and effective, because it works. Lives are saved, hearts and minds and changed and eternal souls are impacted. Abortion workers leave [their employment] and abortion centers close. Since then, 40 Days has received 446 confirmed reports of mothers choosing life for their babies, the group revealed Monday. The post shared several examples of the fruits of their efforts. In Memphis, Tennessee, a man named Marcus who reluctantly accompanied his girlfriend to Planned Parenthood spoke with the sidewalk counselor, who promised help and convinced him to text her to leave the building before going through with the abortion. The couple left smiling and eager to go to a pregnancy center instead, and Marcus even participated in the prayer vigil.many other stories can be found on 40 Days blog and Facebook page. Not every interaction has been positive. Late last month, an 85-year-old pro-life volunteer was shoved to the ground and repeatedly kicked outside a San Francisco Planned Parenthood location. But the overall fruits of 40 Days efforts have been encouraging, and 40 Days says it plans a live webcast on April 30 to recap volunteers impact.
