Anti-abortion activists holding 40-day prayer vigil

Fargo, N.D. (AP) Anti-abortion activists say they're holding a 40-day nonstop prayer vigil outside North Dakota's only abortion clinic.

It started yesterday, outside the Red River Women's Clinic in Fargo.

The clinic director says it won't reduce the need for clinic services.

Tammi Kromenaker says the clinic has seen people picketing regularly, and patients are prepared for them. She says she hopes the vigil will remain peaceful.

Organizers say at least two people will pray outside the clinic 24 hours a day through November 4th.
