On September 22, the 40 days for life kicked off in Budapest. For forty days, Christians pray day and night in front of the Obstetrics and Gynecology Clinic of Semmelweis University so that "the babies can be born". Standing up against abortion is also a call for everyone: anyone can join the nonstop presence.
Since 2007, the internationally coordinated 40-day campaign has been announcing worldwide fasting and prayer in places where abortions are performed, in front of gynecological clinics, in front of abortion clinics. In the past decade and a half, the initiative has already reached more than 1,000 cities in 63 countries. The results of the 40-day fast and prayer chain speak for themselves.
Since 2007, 114 abortion centers have been closed, 222 abortion clinic workers have resigned because of their influence, and the lives of nearly twenty thousand babies have been saved.
One of the most famous stories of the campaign Abby Johnson . Johnson participated in performing abortions for 8 years, but on one occasion, when he was called to assist with an ultrasound fetal drive, he saw the 13-week-old fetus running away from the device that was about to kill him. Johnson resigned from the abortion giant Planned Parenthood a few days later, and attributes his decision to the incessant prayers of the participants of the 40 Days for Life campaign. Since then, Abby Johnson has been known worldwide as one of the most famous faces of pro-life.
Between September 22 and October 31, Christians will also be present at Hugonnai Vilma Square in Budapest to stand up and fight for the lives of unborn babies 24 hours a day with prayer, fasting or even just a quiet presence.
