40. Days For Life: DAY 38: Abortionist Walks Out!

 




Former Planned Parenthood employee of the year Abby Johnson set TODAY as the "Day of Exodus" for abortion workers.


Her ministry "And Then There Were None" is encouraging industry employees to walk off the job today. And YOU can facilitate that exodus when you go out and pray in front of your local abortion business.

A 40 Days for Life volunteer standing vigil in Colombia looked over and saw the abortionist standing right next to her.


"Just seeing your shirt, the number 40 stirs something in me," the abortion doctor said. "I couldn't take it any more. I've already quit."


The ex-abortionist said that every time she saw the volunteers wearing their 40 Days for Life shirts, it stirred something in her that she couldn't explain...but she knew abortion was wrong and couldn't bear to see vigil participants praying while she killed babies.


The 40 Days for Life team is helping the doctor to find healing--and another job!


EVERY day is a good day to leave the abortion industry, so pick up your "You Don't Have to Work Here" signs from the 40 Days for Life store: 40daysforlifegear.com/collections/signs-all/products/cardstock-vigil-signs-you-dont-have-to-work-here?variant=40258368503894

Pennsylvania, Michigan, Colorado, and Texas


40 Days for Life teams in Pennsylvania, Colorado, Michigan, and Texas report low employee retention and staff shortages at abortion facilities and referral centers.


"I've never seen higher turnover than I have in the last nine months or so," wrote Marty in Austin, Texas.


Chris in Michigan also sees evidence of staff turbulence, as a number of employee vehicles are no longer appearing. "We did have several weeks where [the abortion center] delayed opening for 'training' purposes, so it appears...some workers had quit," he said.


Meanwhile, Planned Parenthood of Western Pennsylvania announced suspension of services due to "persistent" staffing shortages!

Winston-Salem, North Carolina


A couple in Winston-Salem asked 40 Days for Life volunteers where they could get an ultrasound to evaluate a suspected ectopic pregnancy. Planned Parenthood was going to charge $200.


Instead, Catherine--who wasn't scheduled to be at the vigil but decided to pray while she was out running errands--was able to get the woman an appointment with a pro-life physician!

Iowa City, Iowa


An abortion-bound woman declined help from 40 Days for Life sidewalk counselors in the Hawkeye State. Thankfully, her grandmother stopped and talked with vigil participants.


"Not long after, the young woman came back out with wonderful news," wrote Sheryl, the longtime Iowa City campaign leader. "She had changed her mind and decided to keep her baby!"


This is at least the second case of a baby saved with a big assist from great-grandma.


"We have family," the matriarch said. "And we will help her."

On the first day of the week, Mary of Magdala came to the tomb early in the morning while it was still dark, and saw the stone removed from the tomb.

--John 20:1


Father, you never fail. Time and time again you have triumphed: with the overturn of Roe v. Wade, with the conversion of abortion doctors, with the courageous mothers who have chosen life, and with the countless babies saved against all odds. Why, then, do I doubt that you will help us now? I believe that you will make abortion unthinkable in this country. I believe that you will help us empower women to choose life. I believe that no setback is permanent. I believe that you have a plan far greater than anything I could ever conceive on my own. I surrender the past, present, and future to you. Amen.

For life,

Shawn Carney
