Cities across America to Pray and Fast 40 Days to Save the Unborn

"We can't wait to see what God has in store for America this fall!"

WorldNetDaily reports that nearly 24 cities have already signed up to participate in a pro-life campaign that will stage prayer vigils outside their abortion businesses 24 hours a day for the 40-day period from September 26 through November 4.

"God is amazing," said Shawn Carney, a spokesman for the campaign called 40 Days of Life. "That is more communities than we ever originally expected to participate in this ambitious pro-life initiative, and there are still six days left for communities to register. We can't wait to see what God has in store for America this fall!"

"Forty Days for Life gives people of faith and conscience the opportunity to save lives and make a difference at the grassroots level in their own community," said Carney. "When they join with other cities across America in this fall's campaign, the collective effort has the potential to significantly impact the abortion debate in our nation. It is not about raising money or building a national organization; it is about saving lives in cities and towns all across America."

According to the report, there also will be intensive community outreaches designed to draw more people into the effort to defeat abortion in America, which has cost by most estimates more than 40 million lives since it was legalized by the U.S. Supreme Court in Roe v. Wade in 1973.
