What is the 40 Days for Life 365 program?
The 40 Days for Life has come to an end, but abortions still happen in McKinney and you can still be part of the Christian response. McKinney is a 40 Days for Life 365 location which means that our vigil will continue year-round. It will look similar to the 40 Days for Life but there will be 3 key differences as we switch to 365 mode.
1) Less time at the VigilOur vigil will only include the business hours of the abortion facility so you can sign-up from 8am-5pm instead of 6am-6pm. We will also try to focus our attention on days when the abortionist is present.
The abortion business in McKinney does not have an abortionist on a regular schedule and it can be difficult to tell when they will be open. The best way is to be there. If you see clients going into the abortion business please call Paul Borchard 214-531-7285 and let him know so he can better determine their schedule. It has been observed that the abortionist comes to McKinney 2 days a week on consecutive days although not consistently on the same days of the week.
On days when they are open the abortionist usually arrives between 8am and 9am and leaves between 2pm and 5pm (usually closer to 2 or 3pm on Fridays and Saturdays and closer to 4 or 5pm on other days).
2) Bring your own ResourcesThere will not be materials (vigil box, sign-in sheet or signs) provided at the vigil during our 365 mode. We will be glad to provide you with a sign for you to keep and bring with you each time you come. You can print the
resource trifold (full of helpful information for the pregnant mom) from the McKinney 40 Days for Life
website.
3) No Guaranteed CoverageYou are encouraged to
sign-up on-line. We also encourage you to bring a friend or arrange to come at the same time as another volunteer so you are not alone. Paul Borchard will try to be pressent during most of the hours the abortionist is working in McKinney. Please come pray with him, so he is not out there praying and offering help alone for up to 12 hours/day.
Please pray about what commitment you are called to make year-round. You can also
sign up on-line just click on the "View 365 Day Calendar" just above the 40 day calendar.

The circled days above (April 22nd, 25th, and 26th) are days the abortionist is expected to be in town. The days with question marks (April 21st and 23rd) are possible days. Whole woman's will probably be open one of these two days.
