They Leave... We Don't!
40 Days for Life Starts Sept. 25
|

Shawn Carney, the head of 40 Days for Life who played a key role in Abby Johnson's conversation, spoke at our 40 Days for Life Launch Party in Metairie last week and said something that stuck with me, "Have you ever noticed that it is only abortion advocates that become pro-life? I have never seen a pro-life leader decide to become an abortion advocate."
He's right. Folks like Abby Johnson, Anthony Levantino, Haywood Robinson, and originally, Bernard Nathanson and Norma McCorvey, are just a few of the abortion leaders who have changed stripes to life. I can't think of any the other way around.
40 Days for Life is one of the best ways to show love to women considering abortion AND those people who work at the facility. To date, 40 Days for Life has seen 191 abortion facility employees leave their jobs during a campaign. Starting Sept. 25, 40 Days for Life will be active in
New Orleans
,
Baton Rouge
, and
Shreveport
. This is a great way for you and your church or group to save lives and witness to life!
For a Pro-Life Louisiana,

40 Days for Life Campaigns Begin Sept. 25 in New Orleans, Baton Rouge, and Shreveport

With abortion-on-demand legal in the United States, we must unite in our local communities and across the nation to call for an end to abortion. Stand with us this fall to protect women and unborn children from abortion through inter-denominational prayer, peaceful vigil, and community activism. 40 Days for Life is Sept. 25 through Nov. 3, with three campaigns going on simultaneously in Louisiana, in New Orleans, Baton Rouge, and Shreveport.

70 percent of Louisianians are pro-life – so it should be easy to pass the Love Life Constitutional Amendment on Nov. 3, 2020! But we must make sure that all our pro-life people are aware and show up to vote. Dedicated volunteers are necessary to make this happen. We need team captains and members to be local resources for the campaign in each parish and community. Let us know if you want to be a part of this grand campaign!

All statewide elected offices will be on the ballot this fall, and as a part of Louisiana Right to Life's educational role, we are dedicated to informing voters on where candidates and incumbents stand on life issues. Louisiana Right to Life is asking all candidates for the House and Senate to fill out a legislative questionnaire, and we are publishing responses as we receive them. We encourage you to vote pro-life on Oct. 12.
