40 Days, 38 Babies

For anyone who doubts the efficiency or merits of pro-life demonstrations these days, for those who dismiss prayer vigils as well-meaning but wrongly-directed activism outmoded in current enlightened circles of capitulation…..there’s this new campaign for life that’s noticeably saving lives.

The latest 40 Days for Life pro-life prayer campaign is having a great effect as 38 babies have reportedly been saved from abortions thanks to the efforts of local pro-life advocates. Meanwhile, a second abortion center worker has reportedly quit in Illinois, following one in Bakersfield, California.

Angela Michael, who is leading the campaign in Granite City, Illinois, near St. Louis, says a nurse at the infamous abortion center there left the facility, hugged her. and told her she worked her last day.

“Thank you for praying for me,” she told Angela. “Your witness has been powerful to me. This is my last day! I’m going off to do what real nurses should be doing.”

While Jackie was praying at the 40 Days for Life vigil in New Hampshire, a car slowly pulled up in front of the abortion center and the driver rolled down the window.

“I don’t know what you’re doing here; but whatever it is, it’s working,” he said, explaining that the abortion center had let employees go because business was off.

This is seismic, really.

“The 40 Days for Life team in El Paso received a special blessing. Sandra said a woman drove up to the vigil and wanted to talk about the day she decided not to have an abortion,” he said. “At the time, she saw her pregnancy as something that would just get in the way of her promising career.”

“But the day of her appointment, people had been praying outside the clinic. When she saw that, she stopped and asked herself, ‘What am I doing here? This is not right,'” he continued. “As she continued her story, the young woman rolled down her car window, pointed to the child in the car seat and began to cry.”

“Thanks to you all,” she said, “I have this beautiful son.”
