UPDATED 10/20: Coverage of assault at Planned Parenthood:
Listen to Josh Brahm, Kyle Goddard, Liz Seaward and Carrie Guy discuss the assault on our Life Report podcast. We play audio from the assault, Carrie offers her perspective as a post-abortive counselor of the perpetrator's motives, and then we discuss the lack of media coverage before talking about the response from both sides of the debate on YouTube! Josh has a challenging question to ask pro-lifers, as well as pro-abortion-choice people at the end of the episode.
UPDATED 07/23/09: Signups are now open! Please click here to reserve your weekly time-slot for this year's "40 Days for Life" prayer campaign. This fall, from September 23 through November 1 pro-lifers from across Central California will be gathering at Fresno's Planned Parenthood abortion clinic at 650 North Fulton. More details coming soon!
UPDATED 5/19/09: Greetings! Yes, we are now preparing for the Fall 2009 40 Days for Life campaign. We are in early planning stages right now, but if you want to be involved, please email Kyle Goddard and just let him know you want to be on the contact list for news and information regarding 40 Days for Life. This will NOT sign you up automatically to be part of the prayer vigil. It will just mean you get information about the 40 Days campaign in the future. Thanks, and be sure to check out the videos below!

UPDATED 11/4:
We did it! Thanks to all of you for sacrificing so much of your life for our successful 40 Days for Life campaign. In the end, we had 2 confirmed turnarounds, women who decided not to have an abortion because of our campaign, although the number may be closer to 50, as the Pregnancy Care Center has reported their highest numbers of new women entering their center ever! We'll never know how many babies were saved, but we do know that about 300 volunteers came up to pray outside of Planned Parenthood, most of whom have never been involved in pro-life activism! There were 441 turnarounds during the national campaign. We'll be posting videos on this page that we showed at our Victory Rally last night, so come back soon!
UPDATED 10/14:
We had a negative letter to the editor about us in yesterday's Fresno bee. You can read it here, and then respond in the comments section of the same page. You can also submit your response as a letter to the editor in hopes that it will be published.

UPDATED 9/27:
The Media Coverage that Saved a Life: Channel 30 did 3 pieces about the kickoff of the Fresno 40 Days for Life campaign.
The first of these 3 pieces was seen by a 16-year old pregnant girl scheduled to have an abortion the following day. After seeing the media coverage, she chose life for her unborn child. Check back soon for more about this amazing story.
UPDATED 9/25:
