From a distance, eight red-draped tables extending nearly the full width of the south steps of Minnesota’s State Capitol building in St. Paul, Minnesota, on Jan. 22 stirred curiosity.
But at close range, many of the 3,500 pro-lifers and others gathered to march for life reacted more strongly at the sight of 12,000 models of unborn children of different races and gestation stages laid out together in a way that living babies in the womb never would be.
The unique display of lifelike fetal models was assembled to represent the 12,175 babies that the Minnesota Department of Health reportedwere killed by abortion in the state in 2022, a 20% increase from the year before, according to Cathy Blaeser, co-executive director of Minnesota Citizens Concerned for Life (MCCL), which organized the display.
As part of MCCL’s annual March for Life in St. Paul, marking the 51st anniversary of the Roe v. Wade decision that made abortion legal in all 50 states, the display was the first of its kind for the Minneapolis-based nonprofit, she said.
