Despite temps in the 20's and piles of snow, nearly 100 people gathered – including dozens of young students and families -- in an ecumenical setting to unify the Body of Christ to pray and fast for an end to abortion.
In Lansing, three abortion clinics -- the site of 40 Days' campaigns -- have closed since 2011. The Planned Parenthood at the Frandor Shopping Center is the only abortion clinic in Lansing and is situated near Michigan State University.
