40 Days for Life Saves Two Unborn Babies in Little Rock

Abortion, , , ,

Two mothers have chosen not to have abortions since 40 Days for Life began its spring prayer vigil in Little Rock.

40 Days for Life writes,

Great news! We’ve had two moms choose life for their babies so far! . . . .

One of the moms from this past Fall who chose life for her baby is due later this Spring. We are planning a baby shower for her. She’s having a girl. As soon as a date and time are put together, we will send that info to all.

40 Days for Life is not a rally or protest. It’s a peaceful assembly for prayer and reflection — and it works.

Every year we hear stories from other states of abortion clinics shut down and abortion workers coming to Christ in the wake of a 40 Days for Life prayer campaign. We want Arkansas to be next.

In the past, 40 Days for Life has said that the “no-show” rate for abortion appointments can go to as high as 75% when someone prays in front of an abortion facility.

Something as simple as praying outside an abortion facility can make a huge difference.

Arkansas Affirms Right of Cities to Declare Themselves Pro-Life

Abortion,

On Monday the Arkansas Senate passed H.B. 1544 Rep. Kendon Underwood (R – Cave Springs) and Sen. Gary Stubblefield (R – Branch).

This good bill affirms the rights of cities and towns across Arkansas to declare themselves pro-life.

The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that cities can pass pro-life resolutions. H.B. 1544 affirms that right and helps outline how a city in Arkansas can exercise its right to declare itself pro-life.

This is a good bill that will help encourage cities in Arkansas to build communities that respect the sanctity and dignity of human life.

H.B. 1544 has already passed the Arkansas House of Representatives. It now goes to the governor to become law.
