These Pro-Life People Just Saved a Baby From Abortion at Planned Parenthood

We didn’t have to wait long for the first report of a baby saved at a 40 Days for Life vigil!

“We had a turnaround!” wrote Hempstead, New York, 40 Days for Life leader Michael.

Michael’s 40 Days for Life team launched their Long Island campaign with a prayer rally that started at a local church before processing to the sidewalk in front of Planned Parenthood.

That’s where they encountered a woman about to end her seven-week-old child’s life by taking the abortion pill.

Instead, the woman talked to a sidewalk counselor, visited a pregnancy center, scheduled an ultrasound, and chose life!

Thousand Oaks, California

A Southern California pregnancy help center told Leonore that her 40 Days for Life 365 vigil just saved a baby.

“The mom specifically used our organization’s name [40 Days for Life],” Leonore beamed. “Thanks be to God!”

The saved baby marks just the latest fruitful encounter from Leonore’s year-round vigil, which saved 13 babies (that we know of) in 2025.

“Your outreach efforts are bearing fruit!” Leonore exhorted her volunteers. “When we help save a baby, God starts repairing all the relationships in a family.”

Cleveland, Ohio

The 40 Days for Life team in the Cleveland area organizes three campaigns: Cleveland, Painesville, and Bedford Heights. And the Cleveland location is a 40 Days for Life 365 location.

Five prayer warriors stood vigil on a frigid day. Their sacrifices were rewarded when a young woman with a big smile announced, “I changed my mind because you were out here today. … I came here planning to get an abortion.”

Prayer warriors sent her home with a backpack filled with supplies for both her and her baby. “Thank you for being here,” she told vigil participants. “It changed my mind. Keep coming back!”

Dan with the Cleveland team said the experience was a powerful way to enter into the Lenten 40 Days for Life campaign. “[It’s] a perfect reminder that being out there truly, truly makes a difference.”
