Jessica and her team at the Southwest Coalition for Life have led numerous 40 Days for Life campaigns that resulted in multiple CLOSED abortion facilities over the years. Right now, they're trying to close one before it even opens. One of the four Borderland 40 Days for Life campaigns is located in front of an under-construction $10 million taxpayer-funded abortion and transgender center in Las Cruces, New Mexico. God answered pro-life prayers by throwing a monkey wrench into the building plans. "Construction was stalled when local contractors pulled out of the job," Jessica said. "We have since learned that a contractor...has recently begun construction." So she and her team are stepping up their prayers. "This update is not the news we were hoping for, but it is not a reason for despair," Jessica exhorted her volunteers. "It is a call to deeper faith." This new abortion facility might need the taxpayer funding, because it's unclear whether there's a market for another abortion facility. Even though New Mexico is an "abortion sanctuary" state, it has seen a decrease in abortion numbers. "God willing, our faithful presence will speak to the construction workers," Jessica continued. "It will speak to the project managers. It will speak to business leaders and decision makers. Not with condemnation, but with conviction." Glendora, California Sarah is leading her first 40 Days for Life campaign in Glendora. Her vigil participants recently received a special visitor with some exciting news. "My boyfriend wanted me to have an abortion, but I wanted to keep the baby," a woman told prayer warriors. "Would you like to see her?" Sarah said the mother went to her car and came back with a beautiful little girl with chubby cheeks! The vigil is growing in enthusiasm--and in numbers. "The Glendora campaign had our biggest group this past Friday night!" Sarah noted. Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada Angela and her 40 Days for Life team on the Canadian side of Niagara Falls pray in front of a hospital. It's more difficult to confirm when babies are saved from abortion at a hospital vigil--but Angela and her team know they are making an impact. "On three occasions, we had folks coming out of the hospital asking us for intercessory prayers for their loved ones facing serious health conditions," she reported. "We were happy to say 'Yes, we will pray for your intentions!'" Prayer warriors' perseverance in the cold shows these families that 40 Days for Life volunteers won't quit interceding for their intentions--or for the unborn. "Despite frigid temperatures and a biting wind, supporters of life showed up to pray for God's blessing upon our campaign!" Angela said. 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.

FROM THE HUMAN LIFE REVIEW: We Need to Save the Hospice Movement Special online access to the Human Life Review, Fall 2025 By Wesley J.

40 Days For Life: DAY 23: Can This Common Prescription Cause Abortions?

 

The early pioneers of the birth control pill knew that contraception can end the lives of unborn children before women even know they are pregnant. They also knew that if the public became aware of this troubling fact, birth control would never catch on... ...so they redefined both conception and pregnancy to get the public to accept contraception. On this week's episode of The 40 Days for Life Podcast, we reveal why many women are horrified to find out they've been lied to about the Pill: To watch or listen, click the image or visit: 40daysforlife.com/how-many-abortions-have-i-caused We also discuss: hope and mercy for women shocked to find out their contraceptive use might have ended the lives of their children; how the Pill actually works; the Planned Parenthood conference that hatched a plan to hijack the language and hide the truth about abortifacient contraception; much more! Everett, Washington Vigil participants in Western Washington encountered a woman who didn't speak English. "So we started calling our Spanish-speaking contacts," Judith explained. They reached one, who determined that the woman was looking for STD testing. The Spanish-speaker communicated that the woman shouldn't patronize Planned Parenthood... ...and the woman agreed! "We got a turnaround," Judith announced. "We offered our free alternative services." The woman accepted the offer and scheduled an appointment at a nearby pregnancy center! Toledo, Ohio The Toledo, Ohio, 40 Days for Life team held a prayer rally that featured praise and worship music followed by a powerful talk from a former abortion worker. "Caroline Strzesynski gave a beautiful witness," reported Brynna. "She told her story of how she went from working at Planned Parenthood and the Center for Choice to becoming a midwife and a NaPro advocate." Praise God for her conversion and for Caroline's willingness to share her testimony to help bring about more conversions--all while helping to protect moms and babies from abortion! They woke him and said to him, "Teacher, do you not care that we are perishing?" --Mark 4:38 Dear Lord, I know that you are always with me and that you work all things for good. When the truth of your perpetual presence is difficult to grasp, give me the grace to remember that you are a good and gracious father in every circumstance. Help us to speak this truth to those around us. In a special way, we ask you to wrap mothers who feel abandoned in your mantle. Amen. For life, Shawn Carney President & CEO, 40 Days for Life
