40 Days for Life
40 Days for Life is an international group that campaigns against abortion by organizing 40-day periods of protests outside of abortion clinics. It was originally started in 2004 by a local group in Bryan-College Station, Texas, led by David Bereit. The campaign is active in the fall and spring of each year, though local campaigns may continue it year-round. The fall 2010 campaign launched in 238 locations around the world, including the United States, Canada, Australia, England, Northern Ireland, and Denmark. The group reports that as of 2014, officially affiliated groups have been active in 25 countries.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Results )〕
The name refers to a pattern of several events lasting for 40 days repeated in the Bible, such as in Noah's Ark, Moses's 40 days on Mount Sinai, and Jesus's 40 days in the desert.
==Activism==
40 Days for Life campaigns are managed by local volunteers in each of the cities involved in the effort. A 40 Days for Life campaign consists of 40 days of prayer and fasting combined with protests in shifts outside of a clinic or hospital that performs abortions. With enough volunteers, this presence may be round-the-clock. A small national office coordinates communications and provides training and other resources for the local volunteers. The organization states that their efforts have resulted in "10,331 lives saved from abortion" and the closure of 60 abortion clinics.〔
