40 Days for Life begins this Wednesday in cities around the world (258 locations, the most ever!)

40 Days for Life will be observed in Wisconsin in Eau Claire, Green Bay, Medford, Milwaukee, Stevens Point and Wausau. La Crosse will participate as well in an unofficial capacity.

On Wednesday, February 22, Archbishop Jerome Listecki of the Archdiocese of Milwaukee will lead 40 Days for Life of Milwaukee’s opening prayer vigil. 40 Days for Life is observed in Milwaukee at Affiliated Medical Services (the state’s only late-term abortion facility), located at 1428 N. Farwell Ave. Archbishop Listecki will be there from approximately 10:30-11am. Join us!

There have been nine coordinated 40 Days for Life campaigns since 2007, mobilizing people of faith and conscience in 422 cities across the United States and Canada, plus communities in Argentina, Armenia, Australia, Belize, Denmark, England, Georgia, Germany, Ireland, Northern Ireland, Puerto Rico and Spain.

• 21 abortion facilities completely shut down following local 40 Days for Life campaigns
• Hundreds of women and men have been spared from the tragic effects of abortion, including a lifetime of regrets
• More than 1,800 news stories have been featured in newspapers, magazines, radio shows and TV programs from coast to coast … and overseas
