DAY 18: Small numbers save babies

John, It's exciting when a large group of volunteers gathers to pray at a 40 Days for Life vigil... ...but the reality is that when you visit any campaign around the world, you're likely to see two or three people praying at a time. That's nor…

DAY 16: Pro-abortion protesters become friends

DAY 15: The problem AND the solution

John, A single neighborhood in Bogotá, Colombia is home to dozens of abortion facilities. That fact is a shameful testament to the damage caused by decades of America exporting abortion to traditionally pro-life countries. In fact, both of Colo…

DAY 14: Liberal media’s obsession with 40 Days for Life

John, HuffPost UK is not a fan of 40 Days for Life. That’s fine, but freedom of speech should not be designated only for liberals. Late last week, the online media giant published THREE overly dramatic articles on why 40 Days for Life could lea…

DAY 12: First abortion-free state?

DAY 10: Shortage of abortion doctors

John, Abortion is the shame of the medical community. That is evident with the increasing shortage of doctors willing to do an abortion, a mounting problem for the abortion industry. The shortage of abortionists is often revealed during a 40 Days for Life cam…

DAY 7: Planned Parenthood knows prayer works

John, When you pray at your local 40 Days for Life vigil and don't see any babies saved, it can be tempting to doubt whether your presence makes a difference. But one group NEVER doubts whether you make an impact on the sidewalk: Planned Parent…

John, 40 Days for Life isn't easy. Standing vigil in front of your local abortion business might not win you any popularity contests. It's often a thankless job. But there's too much at stake to wimp out! On this week's episode of The 40 Days…

Pure evil

Infanticide and YOU
