So far, 40 Days for Life has mobilized over 525,000 in prayer and fasting for an end to an abortion.  Campaign organizers have confirmed 5,928 lives saved since the national campaign began in 2007, with 69 abortion workers quitting the industry and 24 abortion facilities having shut down following the campaigns.

This is the biggest campaign yet with 316 locations in five countries – the U.S., Australia, England, Spain, and Uganda. In North America, 49 states are participating with Washington, D.C.

In Canada, vigils are being held in seven of the 10 provinces.
