Here are the final statistics from the 2015 Fall 40 Days for Life campaign that took place in 307 cities in 16 different countries:
834 babies lives were saved (that we know of) and their mothers lives were spared from abortion.
9 workers at abortion facilities experienced conversions and left their jobs.
This campaign saw the first 40 Days for Life campaign happen at Planned Parenthood in Greenwich Village in New York City. This particular Planned Parenthood averages about 11,000 abortions per year. Praise God that there is now a peaceful, prayerful pro-life presence outside of this facility!!
Another first campaign happened in Bogota Colombia. This campaign had around 2,500 participants. God is so good! 2,500 participants for a first-time ever campaign? Phenomenal!
Just a reminder that the no-show rate for appointments at abortion facilities with a pro-life presence outside of them is as high as 75%!
Please bring your peaceful, prayerful presence to the sidewalk this week!

A Pro-life Prayer for Thanksgiving Day
By: Fr. Frank Pavone
Father of mercies,
God of all creation,
Source of life and of every blessing,
We thank you today, and every day of our lives,
For all that you give us!
Our thanksgiving is not only a duty,
But a joy and a source of strength,
Because it reminds us of your faithful love,
And inspires us with the hope of a future filled with blessings!
Lord, we thank you for guiding our fathers,
Who, inspired by the prophets
And by the saving work of your Son,
Founded a nation where all might live as one,
Acknowledging their dependence on you
As the source of their right to life.
We thank you for your blessings in the past,
And for all that, with your help, we must yet achieve.
We ask you to bless us as we thank you,
That our giving thanks may be accompanied by our firm resolve
To proclaim, celebrate, and serve
The gift of human life, born and unborn.
We pray through Christ our Lord. Amen.
