SYRACUSE, NEW YORK

SYRACUSE, NEW YORK

A record crowd of 120 turned out for the kickoff of the
fifth 40 Days for Life campaign in Syracuse.

Coordinators noted that the Planned Parenthood facility
in Syracuse was the first freestanding abortion center
in the United States.

It opened for business on July 2, 1970 -- 40 years ago
(abortion was legal in New York prior to the 1973
Roe v. Wade ruling).

"We are thrilled to be here and do God's work and
bring His light and love and mercy to this darkest
corner of our city," Jeannie, one of the coordinators,
told the crowd.

"We're uniting in prayer and fasting with 247 cities,"
she said. "That's tens of thousands of people praying
and fasting. And we're expectant that God will do great
things for us."
