"40 days for life" that's the name of a prayer vigil that began in downtown Fargo this morning.

To begin the vigil, about 50 people gathered outside the Red River Women's Health Clinic, North Dakota's only abortion facility, for a prayer and song service.

The pro-life campaign is being undertaken simultaneously in more than 170 cities in the U.S. and Canada.

Round-the-clock prayer, 24 hours a day for 40 days, will continue at the site through Sunday, November 2nd. watch the video | save this article / add to your favorites list
