40 Days for Life Prayer Campaign Starts Next Week
The semiannual 40 Days for Life prayer campaign begins next week.
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 of babies saved, abortion clinics shut down, and abortion workers coming to Christ in the wake of a 40 Days for Life prayer campaign.
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.
This year, pro-lifers will take turns praying on different days and at different times from 7:00 AM – 7:00 PM daily outside the Planned Parenthood facilities in Little Rock and Rogers from February 18 through March 29.
Planned Parenthood does not perform abortions in Arkansas, because state law generally prohibits abortion except to save the life of the mother. However, the organization does refer women to abortion facilities in other states.
Something as simple as praying outside an abortion facility can make a huge difference.

Pro-Abortion Demonstrators, Vandals Target Pro-Life Prayer Vigils in Northwest Arkansas
Last week vandals and pro-abortion protesters targeted pro-life prayer vigils in Northwest Arkansas.
In an email message, pro-lifers coordinating 40 Days for Life in Rogers wrote that vandals cut down pro-life banners at St. Stephen Church in Bentonville on Friday.
The banners accompany a display of crosses that represent aborted children. Pro-lifers periodically move the banners and crosses from location to location throughout Northwest Arkansas.
The banners reportedly were hung back up and a police report was filed.
The email also described a group of pro-abortion protesters from Missouri who gathered at one of the pro-life prayer vigils last week.
These are the first pro-abortion demonstrators we have seen since January 2022. Pro-lifers attempted to have a calm and rational conversation with the demonstrators’ questions and accusations — but to no avail. Pro-Lifers continued praying and remained peaceful, however, when one demonstrator became particularly assertive, prayer warrior Arthur P. called 911. Perfect! The pro-abortionists calmed down, seemed a bit deflated and eventually left. Rogers Police took a few notes and thanked pro-lifers for calling them. We haven’t seen demonstrators since.
40 Days for Life is not a rally or protest. It is a peaceful, pro-life assembly for prayer and reflection — and it works.
Every year we hear stories babies saved, abortion clinics shut down, and abortion workers coming to Christ in the wake of a 40 Days for Life prayer campaign.
Arkansas law generally prohibits abortion except to save the life of the mother, but Planned Parenthood — the nation’s leading abortion provider — still has offices in Little Rock and Rogers.
