As part of the event called “For Life” in Riga, an exhibition of 27 sculptures of babies was shown. The number of sculptures was chosen for a reason: according to statistics, this is the number of children in Latvia that are not born every day because of abortions. The point of the event is to give families information about abortions and their consequences.

Next to every sculpture, there is a small plaque in 3 languages (English, Russian, and Latvian), that explains the reasons why people decide to have an abortion. For example, a woman already has a child, her husband died, and she thinks that she can’t raise 2 children alone, so she agrees to have an abortion in order to ensure a good future for at least one child. A different plaque tells a story about how a mother got the flu during her pregnancy and was told to have an abortion by a doctor.
