CHARLOTTE — Pro-life advocates outside Charlotte’s busiest abortion facility, A Preferred Women’s Health Center on Latrobe Drive, had a visit Oct. 19 from Shawn Carney, president and CEO of 40 Days for Life.
The pro-life campaign, which began Sept. 26, seeks to end abortion through a coordinated effort of prayer, peaceful public witness and community outreach.
The 40 Days for Life fall campaign is under way in Charlotte, Winston-Salem and hundreds of other locations in the United States as well as in 50 countries – making it the largest internationally coordinated pro-life mobilization in history. The fall campaign continues until Nov. 4.
