Fall 2008 40 Days for Life - 306 + & Counting
How about some GREAT NEWS to start off your new week?
The total number of confirmed reports of lives saved since the beginning of this fall’s 40 Days for Life campaign is now up to…
…306!!
And here are just a few of the amazing stories pouring in from across North America.
An abortion worker wrote a long letter to the local 40 Days for Life coordinator in Tulsa, Oklahoma. The writer began by admitting there should be more adoptions, and then she made an unusual request: “Would you please stop calling here and pretending you are pregnant? We have had a lot of girls canceling their appointments.”
“Personally, I don’t know anybody calling and pretending they are pregnant,” said Cynthia in Tulsa. “So those cancelled appointments are the real deal.”
It isn’t just Tulsa.
“The most noticeable thing for us has been a 50 percent decrease in abortion patient visits from the first week,” reports Audra in Boulder, Colorado. “We saw five or six women go in two weeks ago. But last week, we only saw three. The abortionist and staff all left rather early last week, too. He usually stays until 5, but he left around 2 pm. The staff was mostly gone by 4:30. Business must be slow, huh?”
In Fargo, North Dakota, Colleen points out, “The normal amount of abortions each week is 20-30. Since the 40 Days for Life campaign started we have seen no more than 10-15 girls go inside the building on abortion days.”
“We have seen a 30 percent decline in patronage of the abortion facility,” said George in Charleston, South Carolina. “Saturday is generally the busiest day.” But on a recent Saturday, the clinic was closed — the first time this has happened.
Tim in Bakersfield, California is noting the same trend. “In fact, the number of abortions at this point in this campaign — based on our best estimates — is exactly half of the number of abortions at this point in the spring 40 Days for Life campaign.”
This is amazing news! But what’s happening? If these women aren’t going to the abortion facilities, where are they going?
Well, there’s good news here, too. They’re often turning instead to pro-life pregnancy centers and keeping their babies.
In Jacksonville, Florida, the 40 Days for Life vigil is at an abortion facility just down the street from a pregnancy resource center. Pam said a girl had come to this center after seeing the volunteers praying outside the abortion clinic.
“She decided not to go to the abortion clinic first, but went to the pro-life center and asked for an ultrasound. We continue to pray that she will keep the baby after seeing the little body on the screen.”
At another such center in Falls Church, Virginia, “The phone has been ringing off the hooks,” said Ruby, the local 40 Days for Life coordinator. “About 18 women have come by for pregnancy tests this week. Normally they have one person coming in a day.”
Of the abortion-minded women who came in, 60 percent have decided to keep their babies. “Praise be to God!” said Ruby.
This follow-up work is crucial to make sure that these women have the support they need to take care of their children — and themselves.

306 is just the number they know of. There are probably more lives saved that we don't know about. Why I say so is based on the drop in the number of people going in to the abortion mills. I am sure that some of those who would have gone & cancelled perobably won't go back after the 40 Days campaign is over.
