Pro-life supporters hold prayer vigil downtown | News
Title
WILMINGTON, NC (WECT) - Folks opposed to abortions gathered downtown Saturday for a prayer vigil marking the 39th anniversary of the Row v. Wade US Supreme Court decision.
Pro-life ministers and local leaders spoke before the crowd, and people held up signs and sang hymns voicing their opposition to abortions.
Abigail Reimel, 16, shared her stories about when she went to the March for Life in Washington, DC. She said she got involved with the cause when she was 12 years old.
"I believe that abortion should be the number one issue in voting and the number one issue in any topic when it comes up in any debate," said Reimel. "I'm going to keep fighting this fight until abortion is illegal in America."
This year marks the 19th year the New Hanover County Pro-Life Council has held the prayer vigil downtown.
