Jackson, Miss., Feb 16, 2010 / 16:43 pm
A live webcast from Jackson, Mississippi will launch the spring 2010 session of the 40 Days for Life campaign. The campaign is dedicated to encouraging pro-life community outreach, fasting and prayer vigils outside abortion clinics.
The webcast will feature 40 Days for Life national director David Bereit, campaign director Shawn Carney, and former Bryan, Texas Planned Parenthood director Abby Johnson.
Johnson experienced a change of heart on abortion after assisting in an ultrasound-guided abortion and left her job during the last 40 Days for Life campaign.
“I wish every city with an abortion facility will one day be able to participate in the 40 Days for Life campaign," commented Bereit. "But for one night at least, we will be able to give people all over the world an opportunity to see firsthand what this unique pro-life outreach is all about.”
