Hundreds of people from as far away as Australia are gathering in Aggieland on Saturday to celebrate the closure of the controversial Planned Parenthood abortion center in Bryan, Texas.
"More than 6,400 innocent Brazos Valley children were killed at this facility," said David Bereit, national director of 40 Days for Life. "Tomorrow's rally, which we're calling 'Breakthrough,' marks what many people see as a tipping point in the national struggle to end abortion."
The Planned Parenthood abortion facility gained worldwide notoriety as the place where former abortion center director and Planned Parenthood employee of the year Abby Johnson quit her job and became an outspoken pro-life advocate.
It was also the site of the first-ever 40 Days for Life campaign in 2004, an effort that has since grown into a worldwide pro-life mobilization of 575,000 volunteers in 501 cities around the globe; those volunteers have witnessed 7,536 babies saved from abortion, 39 abortion centers closed, and 83 workers quitting their jobs in the abortion industry.
