Young adults have long been Planned Parenthood's target demographic--and its biggest supporters. But the times are changing. A massive pro-life realignment--years in the making--is taking hold among Gen Z. Lars in Tyler, Texas, witnessed the pro-life swing firsthand as a group of LeTourneau University students made his 40 Days for Life vigil the culmination of a spring break pro-life pilgrimage. The students spent their week volunteering for pro-life organizations and capped the trip with a couple of hours of prayer and singing in front of Planned Parenthood. "What an awesome group of young adults!" Lars recounted. "I closed my eyes and felt I was in the presence of angels while they sang!" Students like these are why a generous 40 Days for Life supporter sponsors the annual 4040 Scholarship. Full-time students at a U.S. college are eligible to apply for the $4,040 scholarship--and to be flown out with a parent to receive the award on stage at the Walk for Life West Coast! For details and to apply, visit: 40daysforlife.com/scholarship Centralia, Washington 40 Days for Life general counsel Matt Britton's tour of Washington continued with a visit to an "extremely well-run and well-attended" vigil in Centralia. A passerby shared that his work schedule makes joining the vigil impossible. So instead, he brought coffee for the participants. A year ago, the man's girlfriend became pregnant. Because the man was using drugs at the time, both she and her parents suggested abortion. "He was distraught over this and went back to her parents and said that he would promise never to use drugs again if they would promise that she could have the baby," Matt said. "It worked. They all chose life, and the baby was born. He is thankful to 40 Days for Life and the pro-life movement." In a separate encounter, a vigil participant responded to a pro-abortion demonstrator with love and kindness--softening her heart so much that she packed up and quit her protest! Rogers, Arkansas The 40 Days for Life team in Rogers, Arkansas, was thrilled to see Planned Parenthood close early last week...and then not to open at all on Saturday. And then to be closed earlier this week as well! One abortion facility has already closed in post-Roe Arkansas. With life protected in the state, how long before Planned Parenthood's temporary closure becomes permanent? And Jesus went with them, but when he was only a short distance from the house, the centurion sent friends to tell him, "Lord, do not trouble yourself, for I am not worthy to have you enter under my roof. Therefore, I did not consider myself worthy to come to you; but say the word and let my servant be healed." --Luke 7:6-7 Dear Lord, I surrender my fear to your loving care. Give mothers and fathers the courage to invite you into their lives in good times and bad, and grant them the faith to place their children in your hands. Lead them to doctors who will give their children the very best chance to live. Amen. For life, Shawn Carney President & CEO, 40 Days for Life

Strong messaging saves lives

An effective slogan is a powerful tool. Case in point: Donald Trump rode the phrase "Make America Great Again" all the way to the White House--twice. Is there a way for pro-lifers to capture the magic of MAGA messaging to win hearts, minds, and elections in which abortion is on the ballot? Yes! We show you how on this week's episode of The 40 Days for Life Podcast: To watch or listen, click the image or visit: 40daysforlife.com/maga-messaging-magic We cover: The elements of a successful slogan--and why the secular left has held a near-monopoly on effective messaging; Why some communication strategies drive meaningful social and political change...and others fall flat; The lame pro-life rallying cries that have lost winnable referenda. Tune in...and then give us feedback by emailing podcast@40daysforlife.com or posting your comments on the YouTube page. We might share your questions and comments on a future episode... ...or better yet--you'll have the chance to be named The 40 Days for Life Podcast listener of the year and be invited as a guest on a future episode! Wenatchee, Washington Our general counsel, Matt Britton, was inspired by Wenatchee campaign leaders' efforts to rally support from the community...and opposition to Planned Parenthood. "They are all extremely knowledgeable about the status of the Planned Parenthood, which is out of compliance with its permit," he explained. "The neighbors are gathering a petition and pressuring the city council to move the Planned Parenthood by revoking its permit." The abortion business is attempting to discourage vigil participation with a "pledge a picketer" gimmick in which donors contribute money for every prayer warrior on site. It isn't working. Instead, the community is turning against Planned Parenthood. "It was refreshing to hear that the neighbors realize Planned Parenthood is the problem, not the vigil," Matt said. White Plains, New York On a cold day in New York, a kind passerby brought coffee to 40 Days for Life participants praying with the Sisters of Life. God used a cup of that coffee to save a life. "One of the nuns poured a cup of coffee, waved to her, and held up the cup, offering it to her," explained Linda. "The girl walked over to her, smiling and looking happy." She had entered Planned Parenthood--but found nobody there to receive her. So instead of going through with the abortion, she chose life! "Because of our presence today, she changed her mind!" Linda exclaimed. And Jesus wept. --John 11:35 Lord, grant us the courage to weep. Let our tears mingle with yours and with parents who have lost a child. Grant them the solace of your peace, the confidence that their son or daughter is interceding for them in heaven, and the hope that they will be reunited in eternity. Amen.
