WINSTON-SALEM — Braving the cold December weather, over 40 Respect Life supporters from the Triad area gathered at the Planned Parenthood abortion facility in Winston-Salem to sing Christmas carols to provide hope for women contemplating abortion and a gift for the babies in the womb.
The event, in its 3rd year in Winston-Salem, was organized by Samantha Hogan, a parishioner at St. Leo parish in Winston-Salem, and also new regional coordinator for C-PLAN, the Carolina Pro-Life Action Network.
Attendees were joined by several protestants and members of D3, a pro-life singing group from St. Mark parish in Huntersville, who sung some of their original pro-life songs. The group concluded the event with cookies and hot cocoa at a nearby gathering point.
