On Wednesday, February 10th, 40 Days for Life kicked off its 2016 spring campaign with a bang! People from 273 locations, in 23 separate countries, are said to be participating in this peaceful vigil for life. In just the past 6 days, it has been reported that 59 lives have been saved from abortion (you can view recent updates here). Throughout the past nine years, 40 Days for Life has documented that there have been:

  • 3,895 total campaigns
  • 607 participating cities
  • 32 participating countries
  • 675,000 individual participants
  • 18,000 participating churches
  • 11,165 lives saved from abortion
  • 127 abortion workers quit
  • 64 abortion facilities closed

This will be the eighteenth 40 Days for Life campaign to take place. Over the years, the prayerful witness of hundreds of thousands of pro-lifers throughout our country and our world has left such a tremendous impact on so many hearts.
