You can help save lives through prayer and fasting. Lisa McInerney joined the NFA Daily Spotlight to share details about local prayer vigils taking place outside abortion facilities in Lincoln, Bellevue, and Omaha and across the country in hundreds of cities this fall. 40 Days For Life is an international movement to end the injustice of abortion through organized prayer. Because of the faithful commitment and loving outreach of thousands of pro-life volunteers, mothers are choosing life, babies are being saved from abortion, abortion workers are leaving their jobs, and abortion facilities are closing their doors. Find a 40 Days For Life prayer vigil near you, and pray for God to continue changing hearts and minds, bringing an end to abortion.

This week marks twenty years since September 11th, 2001. On the NFA Daily Spotlight, we’re honoring the courageous leaders and unwavering faith that shaped our American values and most treasured freedoms. Our flag’s stars and stripes boldly proclaim who we are—the land of the free and the home of the brave. Ellen Kohl of America’s Great Stories shares how the organization is inspiring faith and patriotism in children and teens with storytelling. Through the true, powerful stories of Christian role models, actors share how faith shaped the lives of notable American leaders and our country’s history. The Lincoln-based ministry demonstrates how reading the Bible, knowing God, and believing in Jesus Christ provides the strength and courage to run to the roar. 

Former Nebraska Attorney General Don Stenberg joined the NFA Daily Spotlight to discuss an upcoming abortion lawsuit set to be heard in the Supreme Court. Mr. Stenberg—an honors graduate of Harvard Law School—served as Nebraska’s Attorney General for 12 years and argued several major cases at the Supreme Court, including the partial-birth abortion case Stenberg v. Carhart. In 2018, the Mississippi Legislature passed a fetal pain law that prohibits abortions after 15 weeks gestation, with exceptions for medical emergencies and severe fetal abnormalities. Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization has the potential to upend Roe v. Wade or, at the very least, revise caselaw to allow states to prohibit elective abortions before viability. This case is one of the most substantial abortion-related cases the Supreme Court has heard in decades and could establish a new fetal-pain standard for abortion prohibitions.
