ATLANTA—Members of the Georgia Knights of Columbus promoted a pro-life message on six billboards visible to drivers on I-75 throughout the state from May to August.
Bruce Sabatino, one of the organizers, said an abortion-vulnerable woman can call a counseling hotline of Heartbeat International promoted on the billboard to be referred to a crisis pregnancy center for a free ultrasound.
Sabatino said a woman after an ultrasound is more likely to choose a life-affirming decision. The Knights of Columbus believe this program can “save Moms and babies from the evil of abortion and promote a culture of LIFE in our land,” he said.
The unique helpline listed on the billboards will allow the Knights to receive reports about the number of calls from people seeing our billboards. Sabatino said the organization is hopeful to publish the results showing the effectiveness of billboards, which will encourage other state councils to adopt this program.
