Planned Parenthood is once again eligible to receive hundreds of millions of your tax dollars.

That's the bad news. The good news is that the abortion chain still hasn't recovered from being cut off from federal funding for a year.

We explained why it's unlikely that Planned Parenthood will make a full recovery any time soon on the latest episode of The 40 Days for Life Podcast:

And then defund Planned Parenthood yourself--one woman at a time--by signing up to pray for an end to abortion at 40daysforlife.com/locations

Concord, California

The Concord 40 Days for Life team recently defunded Planned Parenthood of one client's abortion fee by empowering a mother NOT to go through with her abortion!

"A pregnant mom was about to enter the office," said Patricia from the team. "After having a conversation, [she] decided not to go to the appointment. Baby saved! Thanks be to God!"

It's possible that this vigil has saved more than one baby. Patty spoke with another couple entering Planned Parenthood. They came out asking for information about getting a pregnancy test. "We will keep praying," Patty said. 

Prayer warriors know that their simple prayer and presence can make all the difference in the world. "There are small windows where we get a chance to help them see there is a better option," said Rebecca. "We just hope and pray that they understand they have better choices than Planned Parenthood."


Waukegan, Illinois

Leslie in Waukegan hosted 40 Days for Life campaign strategist Kristi Hofferber as the keynote speaker for a prayer rally.

She certainly amplified Kristi's testimony of being conceived in incest and her message about the power of showing up to peacefully pray in front of Planned Parenthood. 

Prior to the rally, which drew well over 100 attendees, Kristi also joined a local Catholic radio station for an interview. That same radio station then broadcast the rally to the masses!

"More than 50 students from a confirmation class joined us," Kristi said. "These students would not have otherwise had an opportunity to hear how difficult situations can result in wonderful blessings and how prayer at an abortion facility can bring hope to moms in crisis."

Amen, amen, I say to you, we speak of what we know and we testify to what we have seen, but you people do not accept our testimony. If I tell you about earthly things and you do not believe, how will you believe if I tell you about heavenly things?”

--John 3:11-12

Creator of all things, we praise you for your magnificent creation. We seek the truth in science because we cannot help but wonder at your works. Inspire our medical and scientific leaders to pursue the truth, proclaiming the existence of life in the womb and defending it until natural death.
