113 Saved!!







So far, after 13 days of the 40 Days For Life campaign:



...After yesterday’s report of 89 lives saved during this fall’s 40 Days for Life, more success stories have flooded in from across North America over the last 24 hours bringing the total now up to 113!!

Here are a few of the latest victories…

New 2007 abortion statistics just came out for North Carolina. Overall, abortions in the state showed a very slight decline. But in Mecklenburg County, in which Charlotte is located, abortions went down 17 percent! What made the difference?

“Charlotte conducted two 40 Days for Life campaigns in 2007,” said Andrea Hines, the local campaign coordinator, “our first in the spring and then we participated as part of the first national campaign in the fall. There were several factors contributing to the reduction, but the two 40 Days for Life campaigns definitely had a significant impact.”

Andrea said she’s eager to see how abortion rates are affected in other cities that have participated in 40 Days for Life, especially for other communities that have conducted multiple campaigns.

Charlotte is just one of many cities seeing a profound impact. “The 40 Days for Life campaign has affected so many people in our land,” said Colleen Samson, the local coordinator in Fargo, North Dakota. “All of us will be changed forever.”

Colleen reports that Bishop Samuel Aquila of the Catholic diocese of Fargo gave an inspiring sermon at his cathedral at the start of 40 Days for Life, then led 900 people on a march to the abortion facility — the only one remaining in the state of North Dakota...
