CAPE COD, Massachusetts (LifeSiteNews) — For the first time in its history, 40 Days for Life is launching a campaign in Cape Cod, Massachusetts. The pro-life effort comes shortly after the previously abortion-free islands saw a return of chemical abortion at local facilities.
From September 27 through November 5, the 24-hour prayer vigil will take place outside Health Imperatives, the local facility which began offering the abortion pill this summer in Hyannis. 40 Days for Life campaigns consist of volunteers being physically present outside local abortion facilities through 40 days, praying and offering education to others about abortion and life-affirming alternatives. It is an international effort to end abortion.
“We are eager to join together with people of faith and conscience from 200 cities and towns coast to coast—and beyond—to pray for an end to abortion,” Hyannis campaign coordinator Sheila Quinn said per a press release shared with LifeSiteNews. “It is our prayer that this campaign will help mark the beginning of the end of abortion on Cape Cod.”
Quinn also emphasized a need to “share the facts with as many people as possible during the 40-day campaign”
