Bringing the issue of Life front and center of our national campaign:
The 40 Days for Life Campaign launched its 179-city fall program on Wednesday in South Bend, Indiana. The community-based campaign will last until November 2, focusing upon prayer and fasting, educational outreach, and round-the-clock peaceful vigils outside abortion clinics or Planned Parenthood centers.
Local versions of the campaign are taking place in 47 U.S. states, the District of Columbia, American Samoa, and two Canadian provinces, a campaign press release reports.
“During an election season in which abortion has emerged as a critical – and potentially decisive – issue, people across the nation need to be made aware of the reality of what abortion does to women, men, children, communities and our nation,” said David Bereit, national campaign director of 40 Days for Life.
Bereit said the campaign could have a “profound effect” on the country.
“With abortion in the forefront of the national debate during this heated political season, people of faith and conscience are coming out to 40 Days for Life kick-off events and getting involved in local campaigns in record numbers,” he commented. “I am seeing a greater sense of urgency to end abortion in America right now than I have seen in the last decade.”
This is, of course, all above Obama’s pay grade – and that is a pity, because if he’d think the matter through he might be able to apply some wisdom to our debate rather than just being a shill for the abortion industry. We must have patience with the poor man, though, as we must have patience with all of those on the Culture of Death side of the argument. Much poison has been injected into our society over the past few decades and this has caused a great deal of moral confusion. It will take some time to undo the damage done, but with 40 Days for Life we’re getting closer and closer to that critical mass of people who will, then, rise up and first overturn Roe, and then – eventually – end the hideous practice of elective abortion one and for all.
