40 Days For Life: DAY 33: Chemical abortions

TODAY marks the one-year anniversary of the release of Unplanned! In one of the most powerful moments in the history of cinema, the film depicts the physical, emotional, psychological, and spiritual devastation that abortion pills inflicted on Abby... ...and continue to inflict on millions of women around the world. In today's video blog, I delve into chemical abortions and share how you can win an Unplanned DVD:

After taking the first abortion pill dose, a woman in Windsor, Ontario changed her mind. Desperately seeking to save her child's life, she called the Abortion Pill Reversal Hotline. A staffer for the hotline visited the 40 Days for Life Windsor webpage and contacted local campaign leader, Laurie, for help locating a doctor to administer the lifesaving abortion pill reversal protocol. Within hours, Laurie was able to get the expectant mother to a physician. "The woman has had the progesterone [treatment]," Laurie said. "Now, it's a matter of time. She needs an ultrasound. The hotline worker said there is lots of hope!" Please pray that this baby will survive!

Though the Coronavirus pandemic brought an early end to public vigils, we continue to share stories and photos from the campaign's first 25 days.

El Paso, Texas Sometimes, it's good to fail! That was the case in Texas earlier this month when abortion pills were unsuccessful in ending the life of an unborn baby. Christa said an abortion pill client in El Paso cussed at and gave the middle finger to prayer volunteers. "She was adamantly against us." But when a follow-up appointment revealed the woman's baby was still very much alive, the expectant mother changed her tune, approached vigil participants, and told them she is having her baby! "Thanks be to God for changing her heart and hearing the persistent prayers of our 40 Days for Life volunteers!" Christa exclaimed. "I’m so happy right now I could dance on the sidewalk!"

Bakersfield, California A woman in Bakersfield took the first abortion pill...but she then accepted a referral to the abortion pill reversal protocol offered by vigil participants. "We hope the baby will survive," wrote Maria, the local leader. Please pray for all women seeking abortion pill reversal care, the babies in danger, and the doctors who strive to save both mom and baby from the devastating effects of chemical abortion.

When I consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, the moon and the stars, which You have ordained, what is man that You are mindful of him, and the son of man that You visit him? For You have made him a little lower than the angels, and You have crowned him with glory and honor. — Psalm 8:3-9 Lord, you are the creator of all things. Guide my thoughts to consider your creation in all of its majesty, beauty and holiness. Guide my heart especially to your creation of precious human life. Help me to comprehend how essential life is in your own heart. Teach me to appreciate, love and protect all human life. See today's full devotional
