*Reports document 3,599 lives that have been spared from abortion — and those are just the ones they know of

The movement was founded by David Bereit in 2004 in [[Bryan, Texas|Bryan]]/[[College Station, Texas]] (after [[Planned Parenthood]] opened an abortion facility in the area), the 40 Days for Life campaigns have proven very fruitful.  Some of the blessings the group associates with the campaign (statistics are as of the end of the 2017 campaign and are based on information known to the organization):

*43 abortion workers have quit their jobs and walked away from the abortion industry

*Nine abortion facilities completely shut down following local 40 Days for Life campaigns

With their humble beginnings in Bryan/College Station, [[Texas]], people of [[faith]] and conscience have since mobilized in 337 cities across all 50 of the United States, seven [[Canadian]] provinces, four Australian states, plus [[England]], Northern Ireland and [[Denmark]]. The 40 Days For Life National Campaign Director is David Bereit.  

*177 abortion workers have quit their jobs and walked away from the abortion industry (including, notably, former Planned Parenthood director Abby Johnson)

*96 abortion facilities completely shut down following local 40 Days for Life campaigns (including, notably, the Bryan/College Station Planned Parenthood facility, which now houses 40 Days national headquarters).
