On Tuesday, March 29, 7 p.m., the 40 Days for Life mid-way rally will take place at Abbott Loop Community Church, 2626 Abbott Road. The guest speaker will be David Bereit, the national campaign director for 40 Days for Life.
The 40 Days for Life campaign is a nationwide community-based effort to draw attending to the harmful realities of abortion. Each spring and fall, pro-life advocates gather outside abortion facilities around the world to peacefully stand vigil, pray for unborn babies and help mothers choose life for their children.
This year’s vigil runs until April 17. In Anchorage, it takes place in front of Planned Parenthood and Alaska Women’s Health, PC, where abortions are performed – at 4001 and 4115 E. Lake Otis Parkway.
Since 40 Days for Life began in 2007, there have been 3,599 unborn babies reported saved from abortion. On day 17 of the current campaign, 40 Days for Life reported 156 unborn babies saved so far this spring.

Those unable to attend the vigil in person are invited to pray and fast for an end to abortion from home.
