40 Days for Life

40 Days for Life is a pro-life campaign working to end abortion through prayer and fasting, peaceful vigils outside abortion centers, and community outreach.

"'It's not in spite of my faith, it's because of God that I support abortion.' Nobody buys that."

When politicians claim God supports abortion, they aren't making a theological argument. They're trying to make abortion sound virtuous.

You cannot invoke the God of life to justify the destruction of innocent human life.

@CarneyShawn joined @RealAmVoice to discuss why attempts to use faith to justify abortion continue to fall flat.

Thank you to our friends at @HallowApp for helping to equip a record-breaking 40 Days for Life vigil leaders this summer!

Through June 9, Hallow is matching donations up to $10,000 to help fund leadership training that equips volunteers to pray, witness, and offer life-affirming support in their communities.

Together, we're building a culture of life.

"The Jesus card, when it comes to the abortion surgical room, is just not a winner."

@CarneyShawn reacts to politicians trying to claim God supports abortion.

The abortion industry has spent decades arguing abortion is about "choice." But when advocates try to wrap abortion in Christianity, even many abortion supporters cringe.

Motherhood is one of the most beautiful and self-sacrificial callings on earth.

A mother is not a "gestating parent."

Reducing women to their biological function isn't progress.

It's dehumanizing.

[Eric Daugherty @EricLDaugh]

🚨 NOW: Outrage erupts as New York passes legislation to REMOVE the word "mother" and replace it with "gestating parent"

WTF?!!?

New York Democrats are total psychos.

This is a war on women!

The message being sent is unmistakable:

If your child is healthy, wanted, and convenient, he deserves protection.

If your child has Down syndrome, he can be deemed unworthy of life.

An innocent child was killed because he had an extra chromosome.

That is discrimination in its most lethal form.

This week, my wife and I made the very difficult decision to terminate the pregnancy due to Trisomy 21.

The choice was not made lightly. We really appreciate all of the personal stories that you guys shared with us, especially the unconditional support we received from fans with no matter what we decided.

I know some of you may be very disappointed to hear this news. We are devastated. This has been extremely traumatic for both of us, especially Ashley.

She underwent the procedure earlier this week and is on the mend. Thankfully, everything went smoothly, but emotionally we are drained.

Trisomy 21, also known as Down Syndrome, is caused by an extra chromosome. It is caused by an error in cell division, like a glitch. The odds of a baby having it is 1 in 1000.

When I first confronted this news, I was shocked but optimistic. If they’re a little slow intellectually, then we’ll make it work. I signed on to be a parent, come what may…but I just didn’t fully understand what Down Syndrome entailed.

Once we made it public, it became clear that MOST people don’t know what Down Syndrome entails (and no, it’s not the same as Autism):

50% of babies with DS have heart defects. 75% will have hearing challenges. Over 50% will have vision problems. Impaired immune function, developmental disabilities, learning disabilities, delayed physical development, poor muscle tone, structural issues with face, decreased lifespan, etc…Sadly, the list is long, feel free to look it up…Down Syndome isn’t a “blessing”, it is objectively shitty from a health perspective.

I didn’t realize just how rough it is for the child, let alone the family…more often than not, they would be fully dependent on others for the rest of their life.

The miscarriage risk is also close to 50%, which made matters worse…they may never see the light of day and it puts Ashley further at risk.

We spoke with doctors, friends, family and genetic counselors and learned that up to 90% of women terminate their pregnancy after learning the baby has Trisomy 21.

This was WAY higher than I expected, I thought it would be lower given that I hear so many say they kept or would keep the baby. I believe that’s because most terminations happen privately, it feels shameful. A lot of judgment being cast.

You never think you’d be in this type of situation until it happens to you and then things change.

To all of my fans who have weighed in on this topic who have Autism, Down Syndrome or any other conditions…we appreciate you. You matter a lot and we’re glad you’re here. I commend you and your families for having the strength and courage to push forward.

As for us, we made a difficult decision that we believe in the long-run will be beneficial for our family. Thankfully, we had a choice.

It will take a little time to move on, but we are excited to try again in the future and hopefully have a better outcome.

Love you guys & thank you for understanding. ❤️

Planned Parenthood's latest annual report is out.

What does it reveal about the abortion industry? What does it mean for the pro-life movement? And where do we go from here?

We break down the report and what it tells us about the current abortion landscape on this episode of The 40 Days for Life Podcast. https://t.co/UXDMcYzeau

In Sacramento, California, 40 Days for Life vigils have helped close FOUR abortion facilities despite one of the most pro-abortion governments in the country.

Could your city be next?

Too often, abortion is presented as the answer to a difficult diagnosis.

But children are more than their prognosis.

Orton's story is a reminder that every life is worth fighting for.

[LifeNews.com @LifeNewsHQ]

A mom REFUSED abortion when doctors said her unborn son had a heart defect.

Later it totally DISAPPEARED !

Amber Casey, a mother of two, refused to abort her child because of a heart defect identified by doctors. Now her son is healthy and happy after the defect is gone.

Amber had a prenatal scan 20 weeks into her pregnancy, revealing that her son, Orton, had congenital heart disease (CHD), which affects one in 100 babies.

Amber was told that the left side of Orton’s heart was smaller than the right side, meaning that he might not live past the age of five. Multiple surgeries would almost certainly be required.

She was offered an abortion by doctors.

“I cried the entire weekend, asking myself why me, why our baby and questioning what I’d done wrong to deserve it”, said Amber. “I wanted the pain to end.”

Fortunately, a nurse recommended that the couple seek out the online CHD community, as well as other related charities, to contact parents with similar experiences.

Amber recalls: “A fetal medicine nurse called and she was really supportive. She understood that as a mother, I didn’t know how to feel and I didn’t know whether to terminate…

“I was amazed to get support from couples all over the world.”

Amber refuses to abort

Calmed and reassured by the online encouragement of other CHD parents, Amber and her partner refused to abort Orton.

“They told us their stories and about life with a child with congenital heart disease after birth.

“I’d walked into the CHD world scared and frightened. I’d lost hope but these people gave me hope that I could fight this for my son.”

On 10 January 2020, Amber was induced at 37 weeks. She gave birth to a healthy 6lb 8oz boy.

Amber said: “I couldn’t believe it when doctors said the left side of his heart had randomly expanded.”

Amber now uses her own online presence to share her story and help other parents in similar circumstances.

Sign the petition and tell Congress to permanently defund Planned Parenthood:
https://t.co/I7w2fPfjrh

[40 Days for Life @40daysforlife]

You helped defund Planned Parenthood once.

Now Congress has a choice: finish the job or allow America's largest abortion provider to once again receive nearly $1 billion a year from taxpayers.

We've come too far to turn back now.

Describe abortion in one word.

[40 Days for Life @40daysforlife]

Colorado's message to college students: Need help? Here's an abortion pill.

Not adoption resources. Not life-affirming support. Not hope.

Just a dangerous drug that ends an innocent life and leaves women to bear the consequences.

Women deserve better than abortion. Innocent children deserve better than death.

We are watching a culture that justified killing children in the womb slowly become irritated by children outside of it.

A society that sees its own children as disposable will eventually want to get rid of them altogether.

He knew us before we were even formed in the womb.

Scripture reveals the profound dignity of every human life because every child is created intentionally and lovingly, and in the image of God.

The Bible is clear: life is sacred from the very beginning.

[40 Days for Life @40daysforlife]

“Thou shalt not kill” seems pretty straightforward.

Interesting how people suddenly act like the Bible is vague when the victims are unborn children.

[TheBlaze @theblaze]

James Talarico: “I trust women to make decisions about their own bodies. I don’t think that’s a place for government. That’s a belief I hold not despite my faith, but because of my faith. Jesus never talks about abortion. The Bible is silent on abortion.”

[40 Days for Life @40daysforlife]

The abortion industry is flooding pro-life states with abortion pills by mail.

But they have one problem: abortion pills can be reversed.

Thousands of babies have already been saved through Abortion Pill Reversal, including at 40 Days for Life vigils.

On the latest podcast, Dr. George Delgado shares the story behind APR and why the abortion industry is desperate to silence it.
