The pro-life ministry 40 Days for Life may have ended its public vigils outside abortion clinics, but it is urging its members to still pray and fast for an end to abortion.
"The contemplative always has to come before the active. And we are learning that now more than ever," the group's president and CEO Shawn Carney said in an interview with EWTN Pro-Life Weekly on March 26. "It is the foundation, is prayer and fasting."
"There are so many ways that we can be praying," he said. "That is our most powerful weapon, against the devil and against the abortion industry."
The ministry 40 Days for Life is operational in more than 30 countries and in 507 cities worldwide. Operating since 2007, the group orchestrates 40-day spring and fall campaigns of prayer, fasting, and non-stop peaceful public vigils outside abortion clinics.
