Events & Announcements
40 Days for Life will take place in Jackson from Sept. 23 to Nov. 1 in front of Planned Parenthood at 2009 W. Michigan. Due to the ongoing and uncertain nature of the Covid situation, we anticipate it will look very different this year. There will be no large events or gatherings and our focus will be on the 40 day, 12 hour a day prayer vigil with at least two people praying each hour in front of Planned Parenthood from from 8am to 8pm. There will be no physical sign-ups in churches, instead we will try to get everyone signed up either through our website or through email, texts or phone calls. There will be no shared supplies at the vigil site and we will offer the opportunity for people who wish to hold a sign to get their own prior to the 40 Days. This will be a socially distanced no touch prayer vigil. The website is open for sign-ups and your help is needed. Go to: 40daysforlife.com/jackson, or contact Beth at 517-262-1750 or beth@thorrez.com.

Did You Know?
Abortion advocates often use a coat hanger to symbolize the "age of back-alley abortions" where women were forced to seek abortions from "unqualified butchers." The number of women who died from illegal "back-alley" abortions was often said to be in the thousands. However, according to the U.S. Bureau of Vital Statistics, there were only 39 women who died from illegal abortions in 1972.
