'''40 Days For Life''' is a [[pro-life]] campaign that draws attention to the evil of [[abortion]], per their three-point program: [[Prayer]] and [[Penance|Fasting]], constant [[vigil]], and community outreach. A biblically focused campaign, a vision to access [[God]]’s power and bring together the body of [[Christ]] in a spirit of unity to turn hearts and minds from a culture of death to a culture of life, thus bringing an end to [[abortion]] in [[America]].  Generally the group has two campaigns, one in Spring and another in late Summer/early Fall.

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.  Although the majority of the leadership is Catholic, it is not solely a Catholic organization, but is broadly ecumenical, working with Orthodox and Protestants for the pro-life cause.
