What is Truth About Choice?

Truth About Choice is a memorial to the 49,450 in Massachusetts who lost their lives to abortion – within a single year. The event will honor every person impacted by their loss. The project is the state’s first-ever display of lifelike pre-born babies lost annually to abortion.

Through interactive educational content and a fetal model display representing each life ended in the violence of elective abortion, Massachusetts Citizens for Life shines light on the uncomfortable truths about “choice.”

What’s the purpose?

Featuring life-affirming resources, post-abortive support services, faith-based partners, and opportunities for pro-life advocacy, our event is designed to comfort, inform, convert and mobilize. We believe it will move visitors to action, inspire change in the hearts of those who can no longer look away and, ultimately, result in justice for our most vulnerable women and children.

“What better way, on a beautiful Sunday afternoon, to honor the memory of those children who never had the chance to experience life."

— Testimony by Robert Sass, an attendee at the UMass Amherst Truth About Choice event in April 2026

The Truth About Choice memorial was successfully launched in Massachusetts at UMass Amherst on April 12, 2026. The event marked the first installation of this traveling exhibition, bringing the display to a public campus setting for reflection and education.

Building on this launch, the memorial will continue as a statewide series of events throughout 2026. Massachusetts Citizens for Life is currently collecting expressions of interest from organizations that would like to serve as host sites.

A limited number of locations will be selected and scheduled through October 2026. Additional stops and confirmed dates will be announced soon.
