40 Days for Life – A few final stats
As reported by the national 40 Days for Life coordinators here are the final (and amazing) stats on the recently concluded Spring campaign:
* 100,000+ participants from 4,000+ churches
* Campaigns were held in 261 cities across the U.S., Canada, Australia, England, Ireland, Poland and Spain
* 8 abortion workers quit their jobs
* 883 babies were spared from abortion during this campaign, bringing the cumulative total of lives saved to almost 6,000 since 40 Days for Life began four and a half years ago (5,928 to be precise!)
Religious Liberty / Health Care Mandate
Brothers and families, it is imperative that we continue to communicate to our elected representatives that the HHS mandate is a case of the government overstepping its bounds. This must be communicated time and again even when we are certain our elected officials disagree with us. Also, your support of religious freedom in the form of letters to the editors, comments to news articles and internet forums are helpful too.
Don’t give up this fight. And if you’re still on the sidelines, it is time to get in the game. Go to http://usccb.org/issues-and-action/religious-liberty/ and www.stophhs.com for info and the latest updates. But very importantly, we must pray. Pray for God’s will to be done in this case. Pray that he send his grace that brings liberty and justice for all.

“To claim the right to abortion, infanticide and euthanasia, and to recognize that right in law, means to attribute to human freedom a perverse and evil significance: that of an absolute power over others and against others. This is the death of true freedom: “Truly, truly, I say to you, every one who commits sin is a slave to sin” (Jn 8:34).” – Evangelium Vitae, 20 – Blessed John Paul II
