Now for a few of the great reports pouring in at this mid-point of 40 Days for Life…
Brian in Norwich, Connecticut put out the call to the 40 Days for Life team. “This Saturday, Planned Parenthood is holding their annual two-hour demonstration against us,” he wrote. “Please come and show your support for life.”
A small handful of Planned Parenthood demonstrators — some of them paid Planned Parenthood employees — did indeed show up. But they were vastly outnumbered by people who answered the call to pray for an end to abortion.
The Norwich Bulletin published one photo of the event that is quite telling. In the foreground there are a few people holding pink Planned Parenthood signs. Behind them, however — and stretching far into the distance along the sidewalk — are people peacefully praying.

The woman holding the “I regret my abortion” sign is Nicole, who has been a strong voice and leader with the 40 Days for Life effort in Norwich and a real blessing to our work nationally.
