Anti-Abortion Advocates Plan Rally

Abortion
has become one of the hot button issues lawmakers have debated during this
session. Anti-abortion advocates hope
the discussion brings momentum to their position on the issue.
When you pass by
the Little Rock Family Planning Services Building, you will see and hear
anti-abortion advocates hoping to sway expecting mothers from going
inside. Kandi Cox, though, predicts huge
crowds outside the facility Sunday, when members of Forty Days for Life begin their campaign.
"There are people
who will walk beside them and help them if they chose life for their baby," Cox
said.
Cox runs an adoption agency and offers that to the women she meets at the clinic. She shares her own experience of aborting a child twenty years ago.
"There's not a
day that goes by that have not thought about that decision or regretted that
decision," Cox said.
"Every
pregnancy is different. Every woman is
different. Nobody can put themselves in
her shoes," Rita Sklar, spokeswoman for ACLU Arkansas, said.
"It's such a
personal thing. It's something that
should not be the discussion in the halls of the Legislature," she said.
