Thinking about when would be the best time, and early fall seems good. Spring strikes me as too cold and precipitate in much of the country, northern states might still be covered in snow. Summer may get too hot and thus temperature prohibitive, but seems like the second best option and may have virtues over fall that I'm not considering.
I think October is respect life month.
September has symbolic merit as the ninth month.
I think a Sunday sounds best, giving the most people the opportunity to participate without conflicting with work.
Something midafternoon so as not too be too early for the west coast or too late for the east coast if everyone is to be praying at the *exact* same hour. Somewhere between 12pm CT (10am PT, though it's only 8am in Hawaii) and 4pm (5pm ET)? I don't want people to not come because it requires getting up too early or sitting outside after dark. The idea is to be accessible. Though it may be easier to just say 1pm local time and have it be more of a wave of prayer rather than a single point.
Thoughts?

Where two or three are gathered in my name, there am I in their midst. –Matt. 18:20
Preach the gospel at all times, if necessary use words. –St. Francis
Couldn't you stay awake with Me one hour? –Matt. 26:40
The idea
It has been bothering me that we may vote for a politician because he is pro-life, but he doesn't know that, and probably never will, unless we make our presence known.
Not everyone who wants an end to abortion can fly to Washington for major pro-life rallies and marches. To try and make supporting the pro-life cause accessible to everyone, one day a year, we will all gather for an hour outside our local city hall and pray for an end to abortion.
Even if you are the only one in your town, you are united in prayer with all of us, all over the country.

Feedback wanted
This entire idea is in its infancy, everything from the title of the page to the wording of this request for help welcomes suggestions. Hopefully, with some help in the thought process, this can become real.

I like September because of its symbolic nature and the fact that the weather is nice in most places during Sept.
Local time may be much easier than trying to coordinate an absolute time.
October is Right to Life month in the Catholic Church
