She said if anyone had been at the abortion clinic and tried to change her mind she felt it would not have taken much to convince her. She has always regretted that decision she made that day. God came into her life and it turned her life around and now she is now married with two children. Another large crowd attended the Banquet this year along with Congressman Larry Bucshon who also addressed the group.
