Protesters keep vigil at Saint Paul Church Life Chain
Protest continued near Saint Paul Catholic Church as individuals held signs provided by Life Chain along Dr Martin Luther King Jr Boulevard. The 20th annual event, part of a nationwide anti abortion protest, drew men women and children while horns from passing motorists were the only sounds. New Bern joined hundreds of Life Chain observances across North America inviting churches to pray for one hour on a designated sidewalk each year.
