And so it begins!

https://40daysforlife.com/2017/09/27/day-1-prepare-hearts/

40 Days for Life is a community-based campaign that takes a determined, peaceful approach to showing local communities the consequences of abortion in their own neighborhoods, for their own friends and families.

It puts into action a desire to cooperate with God in the carrying out of His plan for the end of abortion.

It draws attention to the evil of abortion through the use of a three-point program:

• Prayer and fasting

• Constant vigil

• Community outreach

Want to end abortion? If you do, the first thing you must do is pray.

Prayer is at the center of 40 Days for Life.

During each campaign, we are calling on people of faith across the nation … and around the world … to fall on their knees before the Lord,

asking Him to hear our plea and heal our land. Pray outside an abortion facility. Pray at church. Pray at work. Pray in the car. Pray at home with your family.

Christ told us some demons can only be driven out by prayer and fasting (Matthew 17:21). The two go hand in hand.

Prayer keeps us rooted in the fact that it is our desire to carry out God’s will.

Fasting is a sacrifice that helps us reach beyond our own limitations with God’s help.

Each day during 40 Days for Life, individuals, churches, families and groups will be asked to join together in prayer for a specific request so the entire Body of Christ can unite around a common focus.

These specific prayer requests will seek God’s help for:

• Women who are at risk of having an abortion

• Innocent children who are at risk of perishing

• Men and women who carry the pain of a past abortion experience

• Workers at Planned Parenthood facilities and abortion centers

• Local, regional, and national leaders

• Revival and renewal in our churches

• Repentance and healing throughout our nation

The visible, public centerpiece of 40 Days for Life is a focused, 40-day, non-stop, round-the-clock prayer vigil outside a single Planned Parenthood center or other abortion facility in your community.

https://40daysforlife.com/browse-campaigns/

It is a peaceful and educational presence. Those who are called to stand witness during this 24-hour-a-day presence send a powerful message to the community about the tragic reality of abortion.

It also serves as a call to repentance for those who work at the abortion center and those who patronize the facility.

“The Holy Father greatly appreciates the dedicated work that you and everyone involved in 40 Days for Life are engaged in to promote respect for the lives of all unborn children. His Holiness assures you of his prayerful support for you, your colleagues and all those whose prayer, fasting and sacrifices are saving countless lives and giving glory to God.” – Pope Francis, via Vatican Secretariat of State

the roman catholic church explicitly teaches against abortion:

>Human life must be respected and protected absolutely from the moment of conception. From the first moment of his existence, a human being must be recognized as having the rights of a person - among which is the inviolable right of every innocent being to life.

<Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born I consecrated you.

<My frame was not hidden from you, when I was being made in secret, intricately wrought in the depths of the earth. (CCC 2270)

>Since the first century the Church has affirmed the moral evil of every procured abortion. This teaching has not changed and remains unchangeable. Direct abortion, that is to say, abortion willed either as an end or a means, is gravely contrary to the moral law:

<You shall not kill the embryo by abortion and shall not cause the newborn to perish.

<God, the Lord of life, has entrusted to men the noble mission of safeguarding life, and men must carry it out in a manner worthy of themselves. Life must be protected with the utmost care from the moment of conception: abortion and infanticide are abominable crimes. (CCC 2271)

>Formal cooperation in an abortion constitutes a grave offense. The Church attaches the canonical penalty of excommunication to this crime against human life. "A person who procures a completed abortion incurs excommunication latae sententiae," "by the very commission of the offense," and subject to the conditions provided by Canon Law. The Church does not thereby intend to restrict the scope of mercy. Rather, she makes clear the gravity of the crime committed, the irreparable harm done to the innocent who is put to death, as well as to the parents and the whole of society. (CCC 2272)

>The inalienable right to life of every innocent human individual is a constitutive element of a civil society and its legislation:

<"The inalienable rights of the person must be recognized and respected by civil society and the political authority. These human rights depend neither on single individuals nor on parents; nor do they represent a concession made by society and the state; they belong to human nature and are inherent in the person by virtue of the creative act from which the person took his origin. Among such fundamental rights one should mention in this regard every human being's right to life and physical integrity from the moment of conception until death." (CCC 2273)

>Since it must be treated from conception as a person, the embryo must be defended in its integrity, cared for, and healed, as far as possible, like any other human being.

<Prenatal diagnosis is morally licit, "if it respects the life and integrity of the embryo and the human fetus and is directed toward its safe guarding or healing as an individual. . . . It is gravely opposed to the moral law when this is done with the thought of possibly inducing an abortion, depending upon the results: a diagnosis must not be the equivalent of a death sentence." (CCC 2274)

and yet, pic related.

what's up with that?

I participated in my local planned parenthood

I was on my own and it was tough

I recommend anyone listen to this before they go http://www.orthodox.net/sermons/misc_2011-10-19+40-days-for-life-prayer-before-a-late-term-abortion-clinic.m3u

I also highly recommend praying the akathist of repentance for one who has aborted a child

awesome!

>I was on my own

that sucks, but you're still awesome!

what'd you do there? hold a sign? prayer?

did you get a chance to interact with anyone?

was that what made it tough? seeing people's callous attitudes?

either way i'm sure it had a positive effect and your efforts were not in vain.

the website is reporting 64 babies have been saved so far.

kind of a drop in the bucket, but just one life being saved makes it all worthwhile.
