Christians across America are praying in gatherings at abortion clinics and elsewhere, for God to have mercy on all victims of abortion, and to change the hearts of all lawmakers and abortionists alike, such that the tragedy of government-sanctioned abortion comes to an end.

From "Planned Parenthood protesters mark the start of 40 Days of Life" by Aaron Hale, Naples Daily News 3/9/11
The 40 Days for Life anti-abortion vigil drew a large crowd of demonstrators to the Planned Parenthood in Naples [Florida] today to pray for the end of abortions.
Roughly 150 demonstrators, including Diocese of Venice Bishop Frank Dewane, turned out this morning. In addition to praying together, participants also held signs with such messages as “Planned Parenthood kills babies,” “Women do regret abortions” and “Men regret lost fatherhood.”
Similar faith-based protests are occurring in 247 cities around the world, according to the 40 Days for Life website.
Organizer Jo An Carter said the goal of the protest was to shut down the Planned Parenthood and end abortion through prayer.
Short of that, Carter said she expects the demonstrators will deter some patients seeking abortions at the clinic.

The coordinated international campaign begins March 9 and runs through April 17, coinciding with the Christian season of Lent. The campaign will stretch from coast to coast in the United States, and extends into Canada, England, Ireland, Australia, Belize, Spain, Georgia and Armenia - representing a 47% increase in the number of locations over last spring.
40 Days for Life consists of 40 days of prayer and fasting for an end to abortion, 40 days of constant, peaceful vigil outside abortion centers and Planned Parenthood offices and 40 days of pro-life community outreach. The list of participating communities is posted online here.
The 40 Days for Life movement continues to grow. Thus far, seven coordinated national 40 Days for Life campaigns have been conducted, twice each year, beginning in the fall of 2007. More than 400,000 people in some 337 cities have already taken part. Nine abortion centers have closed following 40 Days for Life prayer vigils, and at least 43 abortion industry employees have quit their jobs, including Abby Johnson, former director of a Planned Parenthood facility.

On a typical Wednesday, this facility in Rockford [Illinois] performs 15 abortions. “Today, because of the power of prayer,” said James, “that number was cut in half to seven.”
“We had a victory for life today in Wilmington, Delaware at the Planned Parenthood on Shipley Street,” wrote Elizabeth, who tells her story on the 40 Days for Life blog.

“I asked her if she had chosen life for her child,” Elizabeth wrote, “and she said yes!” Elizabeth gave her a big hug.
