... began in 1994 with a short ceremony held at Courthouse Square in downtown Dayton, Ohio. It was designed to create awareness of the loss of life of defenseless, innocent babies at a time of year that has so much to do with babies and young children. Also in line with the season, it provides an opportunity for the celebration of life through giving – in the form of diapers, which are distributed to local women's support centers.The programs have included prayers, music, remarks by pro-life leaders, and the lighting of a small Christmas tree that remained lit at Courthouse Square through the Christmas season with a small plaque to remind passers-by of the tragic loss of life through elective abortion.
In 2003, the program was moved to the front of the Women's Med Center abortion mill in Kettering, where it serves as a reminder of the sanctity of human life, and continues to benefit local women's support centers through material assistance.
