I had a conversation (if you can call it that) over on YouTube with someone who tried very hard to convince me that to pray outside abortion mills would be an entirely useless and wasted effort. Well, not only did I know that wasn’t true then, but I have proof now. The spring 2010 campaign of 40 Days for Life has only been underway for six (6) days and we already have forty-five (45) saves! That’s amazing! And those are the ones we know about! We have no way of knowing about all of the saves that happen every day. Not all women will say anything to anybody about what they went through, the gut-wrenching decisions they faced or how they dealt with their situations. So don’t let anyone tell you that your efforts are wasted. Don’t let anyone stop you from speaking out against the culture of death. We need to pray, fast and keep our vigils. God will do the rest. Our God is an awesome God, quick to forgive, slow to anger, rich in mercy. Praise God!

We thank God for answered prayers. I watched the 40 day match for life on EWTN. Here in Nigeria abortion has not been legalised but its being done on a daily basis and so many young girls are dying in the hands of quacks. Pls remember us in your prayers. God bless you all.
Hi, Lucy. Yes, thank God for answered prayers. I didn’t realize that abortion has not been legalised there in Nigeria. That’s wonderful! That young girls are being taken to quacks is horrible. There are those who would argue that abortion should be made legal to keep them from dying at the hands of quacks, but what is needed is that young girls not be treated as sex objects to begin with. The men doing this to the girls should face the consequences of their actions, not do even more damage to the girls and kill their offspring.
I will definitely remember you and your country in my prayers. Thank you for commenting.
Peace be with you, Lucy.
