On Mondays during 40 Days for Life campaigns, we share the best news of the week — the updated number of mothers choosing life for their babies.
Thus far during this campaign, there have been 28 babies saved – that we know of!
And that makes the number of lives reported spared from abortion … since 40 Days for Life began as a coordinated effort in 2007 … a phenomenal total of 9,001!
Praise God!!!
Here are some of the beautiful stories behind those numbers.
SAVANNAH, GEORGIA
Volunteers were praying at the 40 Days for Life vigil when a couple arrived at the building. One of the women left the group and explained that real help was available at the pregnancy resource center across the street.
“The man did not want to talk or get any information,” said one of the volunteers. “He said a few choice things and they went inside.”
A short time later, he came out alone. “All three of us were praying,” she said, “all thinking about how angry he seemed to be and for God to help this lady and man.”

In another 15 minutes or so, the woman came out. “You could just tell how upset she was,” the vigil participant said. They convinced her to visit the pregnancy center, where they left her in good hands.
Half an hour later, she walked back across the street to meet the man, who had been waiting in his car. The two returned to the abortion center.
He kept saying that the woman didn’t need to be listening to the vigil participants and taking the information. The woman’s face told a different story, as she had more of an “everything’s going to be okay” attitude.
Eventually, the woman came out and said she was not having an abortion. “She had not wanted it in the first place,” the volunteer said, “and he would not listen to her. And now, her face looked so joyous compared to how she first looked when she arrived. “
SHREVEPORT, LOUISIANA
“What a day!” said Chris, the 40 Days for Life coordinator in Shreveport. “We had two women who said they were going to have their babies,” he excitedly explained. “Yeah that’s right – two saves!”
There was another woman who arrived for a pregnancy test, but she never entered the abortion facility. She instead visited the pregnancy resource center nearby.
“So all in all, that’s three turnaways!” Chris said. “Thanks to all who are praying from home and on the sidewalk.”
