40 Days for Life Begins Around the World: ‘The Year of Infanticide’ by Dr Susan Berry for Breitbart
The internationally celebrated “40 Days for Life” campaign begins Wednesday as pro-life activists pray to end abortion during all-day peaceful vigils in front of abortion businesses.
This year, the campaign begins during “the year of infanticide,” says its president and CEO Shawn Carney on the organization’s website.
“We are in uncharted waters,” he states. “The barbaric nature of abortion – and infanticide – is front and center right now in America. Many in Washington and the media are willing to leave a baby girl who survives an abortion on a table to die.”

Carney says, this year, 40 Days for Life will be held in 505 cities.
“Please pray for our nation as the world looks to see how America responds to the unprecedented attacks on our most innocent children,” he invites.
In Bristol, Tennessee, former Planned Parenthood manager and current 40 Days for Life director of outreach Sue Thayer is an upcoming speaker at Bridge Assembly of God, reports the Rogersville Review.
“40 Days for Life volunteers in the Tricities area have worked tirelessly for the cause of life,” Thayer said. “We know that prayers in front of an abortion facility save lives and change hearts. Around the world, we’ve seen expectant moms turn away from abortion facilities and choose life for their babies.”
Using herself as an example, Thayer added that abortion workers “are walking out of their jobs, and facilities are closing their doors forever.”
In College Station, Texas, people gathered Tuesday evening at Thomas Park for the kick-off of 40 Days for Life.
“We’re praying for an end to abortion,” said Patricia Hefti, organizer for the College Station event, reported the Eagle. “We’re praying for our community’s leaders, we’re praying for women and men who have been through abortions and need healing — we’re just praying.”
