Major milestone for 40 Days for Life: 3,000 babies saved

From LifeSiteNews:

On October 11, the 40 Days for Life campaign announced a significant milestone for the burgeoning pro-life initiative – its 3,000th baby saved from abortion since the first 40 Days campaign in the fall of 2007.

“To God be the glory for reaching this major milestone!” wrote Shawn Carney of 40 Days. “That's a LOT of children and mothers spared from abortion. And that's a lot of GREAT stories.” Read more here.

Twelve babies have been saved so far at Milwaukee's 40 Days for Life location.

Please – join 40 Days for Life today as we celebrate the joy of life and offer women love and hope outside Wisconsin’s abortion mills. There's only two weeks left! If you can’t join us, keep us in your prayers.

40 Days for Life is observed in the Wisconsin area in Appleton, Green Bay, La Crosse, Madison, Milwaukee, Wausau and Rockford, Ill. For more information on locations and who to contact, go to the 40 Days for Life website.

GOOD news!

Check out this from Indiana's 40 Days:

To quickly recap, Erin had scheduled an abortion last spring. She called to confirm her appointment — or so she thought. But she didn’t reach Planned Parenthood. The phone that rang belonged to a 40 Days for Life volunteer who was praying outside the abortion center!

To make a long story short, Erin canceled her abortion and her daughter was born just a few days before this campaign started.

This is Elena, Erin’s baby:


But there’s more!

Prayer volunteers recently met Lori, who had driven four hours from Kentucky for a counseling session — the first step in the abortion process. The vigil participants quickly got in touch with Elizabeth, the pro-life counselor who had helped Erin.

Elizabeth learned that Lori had a small child … and was still suffering from a previous abortion. Lori appreciated the offers of help, but still had doubts about keeping her baby. So Elizabeth called Erin!

“Erin helped Lori to have the courage to trust God and choose life for her unborn baby,” said Eileen in Indianapolis. “Erin was pleased to be able to help someone else.”

Please pray for Erin, Lori and all those who are tempted to “choose” abortion.
Please remember this all you who are out there on street corners with signs and rosaries.  You ARE making THEE difference.  Thank you!
