What is it?
Truth About Choice is a memorial to the 26,000 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.
“I've seen hearts change. In nearly every city we've gone to, people who aren't pro-life leave pro-life, they leave more pro-life than they were.”

Where is it?
This series of statewide events, to be held in Massachusetts throughout 2026, is modeled upon similar endeavors produced in recent years by our National Right to Life affiliates in Kansas and Minnesota. Our colleagues in those states have told me many stories about their powerful fetal model displays, how the staggering visual moves attendees to tears—and mobilizes visitors more effectively than any other effort. Here’s where we will set up our day-long displays:
-
Springfield: Sunday, April 12, 2026 from 12:00-5:00 (location yet to be confirmed)
-
Boston: Saturday, May 2, 2026 from 10:00-5:00: Parkman Bandstand on Boston Common
- October 2026: Worcester County, North Shore, South Shore (exact details to be determined)
Who should attend?
The Truth About Choice memorial is geared for ages 10 and over. We ask that attendees view our displays with reverence and maintain a solemn and respectful tone throughout their visit.
How much does it cost to attend?
Truth About Choice is free and open to the public, thanks to Massachusetts Citizens for Life grassroots supporters along with major sponsorship-level contributors.
How can I help?
