Activist David Daleiden and his group Center for Medical Progress shocked many in the country last summer after releasing footage of several Planned Parenthood officials casually discussing the dismemberment and trafficking of baby body parts.

Now, one pro-life coalition is encouraging Christians to transform their horror into humble prayer.

The Pro-Life Action League has launched a 40-day period of prayer and reflection, which started on Ash Wednesday. The national campaign is urging Christians across the nation to pray for Planned Parenthood.

The campaign emphasizes special prayer for the three Planned Parenthood officials featured in the controversial undercover tapes.

The first is Dr. Deborah Nucatola who was featured in a video discussing how to dismember the aborted babies for body part trafficking.

The second is Dr. Mary Gatter who appeared in a second video discussing prices for fetal body parts.

The third person is Planned Parenthood CEO Cecile Richards who apologized for the shocking statements while denying Planned Parenthood's intentions to capitalize on the selling of aborted baby body parts.

Eric Scheidler, executive director of Pro-Life Action League, reminds Christians of the Biblical command to "love your enemy," asking them to pray for the three women despite their apparent appalling actions.

"These three architects of Planned Parenthood's baby parts scheme have devoted their lives to the destruction and exploitation of human life in the name of 'choice,'" Scheidler said. "If we don't pray for them, who will?"
