The event was part of nationwide observances of the tragic 1973 Supreme Court decision legalizing abortion throughout all nine months. "Young women are deceived into ending the life of their unborn child without really being given a choice - an informed choice that includes all information like an ultrasound, breast cancer-abortion links, and real assistance like adoption help. Often these girls are rejected by their boyfriend or even their husband and feel in desperation they have no choice. The Long Island Coalition or life offers prayer and support for both the women and their babies," said participant Patty Knap.
